Simulated water around a sand spit, with trees on the point beyond

Closure & reclamation

Water visualization.

Physically simulated water: flow, fill, and interaction with terrain. Watershed and waterway analysis becomes something a room can watch rather than a set of figures to interpret.

Source data: Aerially scanned terrainMethod: Water physics simulationDeliverables: Animation

Challenge

Water behaviour can be one of the hardest things to convey in a static drawing, and it can be central to a technical or regulatory review.

Solution

Physics-based water simulation integrated with accurate terrain models.

Impact

Helps reviewers understand water behaviour visually rather than relying on abstract descriptions alone.
