Nils Berglund | Shallow water flowing over an immersed dodecahedron @NilsBerglund | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this simulation of the shallow water equations on the sphere with variable depth, the depth has been computed from the distance between the sphere and an embedded dodecahedron of smaller volume, completely contained in the sphere. The water depth influences the wave speed, and thereby the water height, which reveals the presence of the dodecahedron.
The shallow water equations are nonlinear equations, which give a better description of the motion of water than the linear wave equation. In particular, unlike the linear wave equation, they conserve the total volume of water. The linear equation gives an approximation of the solutions, when the wave height remains close to its average over space.
The equations used here include viscosity and dissipation, as described for instance in
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_water_equations#Non-conservative_form , including the Coriolis force.
The video has four parts, showing the same simulation with two different color schemes and two different visualizations:
Wave height, 3D: 0:00
Velocity (norm and direction), 3D: 0:52
Wave height, 2D: 1:49
Velocity (norm and directions), 2D: 2:42
In the first and third part, the color hue and radial coordinate show the height of the water. In the second and fourth part, the color hue shows the direction of the flow, and the radial coordinate shows its speed (the norm of the velocity). The 2D parts use a projection in equirectangular coordinates. In the 3D parts, the point of view is slowly rotating around the sphere in a plane containing its center. The position of the sphere is represented by a line starting above the north pole, and pointing in a fixed direction.
The velocity field is materialized by 2000 tracer particles that are advected by the flow.
Render time: 3D part - 1 hour 57 minutes
2D part - 1 hour 55 minutes

The simulation solves the 2D shallow water equation by discretization (finite differences).
