Ph.D. Research : Simulation of Falling Water and Plunge Pools

Even though the models were created separatedly, integration was planned from the start. Each water droplet starts ripple propagation on the surface of the plunge pool.

Once the combined model was created, we experimented with modelling erosion, wave overturning and ripple overflow.
