Simulation

Chaos is fascinating. Where a released pendulum will end up around magnets is incredibly complicated. You can explore this in a fantastic interactive visualisation from Ingo Berg. I decided a decision-making app where each magnet represented something you wanted to decide between, would be a fun project. Click the black

A while ago I was watching Chris Danforth's lecture series on chaos. During one of the lectures he showed the Julia sets, which you can play around with here. I thought that moving along the negative real axis would make a really cool portal opening effect. I made

A few weeks ago I wrote a bit about how Mandelbrot zooms are created, check that out here. Today's article is about that fractal's relatives, the Julia sets. To refresh ourselves, the Mandelbrot set is generated by asking whether zero will explode or not when you

I made a lake in unity! You can scroll down to walk around it in your browser. The lake is achieved by combining a few different effects. Reflections, small waves on the surface (generated by layering noise at two scales that shifts in time), waves that emanate from the player

A von Kármán vortex street happens when fluid flows past a cylindrical obstruction. You get a series of vortices that march down flow. I wrote a Lattice-Boltzmann method solver in c# to simulate such a scenario. It suffers from numerical instability but if the velocity is raised slowly enough, you
