Welcome to a new series in which we will explore the math and the algorithms necessary to create and understand fluid simulation!

We will break down the several complex concepts in (hopefully) small understandable bits.

In this first video we see what a Scalar Field and a Gradient of a Scalar Field are. Both concepts are crucial for working with fluid simulation.

For the creation of this video I was very much inspired by the awesome tutorial on fluid sim in Max by ​@maxjitterbug2666 , check it out here:

This is the paper on which those video will take inspiration:
