Getting Started - Fluid Simulation


// FLUID SIMULATION EXAMPLE
import com.thomasdiewald.pixelflow.java.DwPixelFlow;
import com.thomasdiewald.pixelflow.java.fluid.DwFluid2D;

// fluid simulation
DwFluid2D fluid;

// render target
PGraphics2D pg_fluid;

public void setup() {
  size(800, 800, P2D);

  // library context
  DwPixelFlow context = new DwPixelFlow(this);

  // fluid simulation
  fluid = new DwFluid2D(context, width, height, 1);

  // some fluid parameters
  fluid.param.dissipation_velocity = 0.70f;
  fluid.param.dissipation_density  = 0.99f;

  // adding data to the fluid simulation
  fluid.addCallback_FluiData(new  DwFluid2D.FluidData() {
    public void update(DwFluid2D fluid) {
      if (mousePressed) {
        float px     = mouseX;
        float py     = height-mouseY;
        float vx     = (mouseX - pmouseX) * +15;
        float vy     = (mouseY - pmouseY) * -15;
        fluid.addVelocity(px, py, 14, vx, vy);
        fluid.addDensity (px, py, 20, 0.0f, 0.4f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
        fluid.addDensity (px, py, 8, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
      }
    }
  });

  pg_fluid = (PGraphics2D) createGraphics(width, height, P2D);
}


public void draw() {    
  // update simulation
  fluid.update();

  // clear render target
  pg_fluid.beginDraw();
  pg_fluid.background(0);
  pg_fluid.endDraw();

  // render fluid stuff
  fluid.renderFluidTextures(pg_fluid, 0);

  // display
  image(pg_fluid, 0, 0);
}

Installation, Processing IDE

Download Processing 3
Install PixelFlow via the Library Manager.
Or manually, unzip and put the extracted PixelFlow folder into the libraries folder of your Processing sketches. Reference and examples are included in the PixelFlow folder.
Also make sure you have the latest graphics card driver installed!
