I always wondered how gas actually moves inside of sound waves. So I made this demo that actually simulates compressible gas (nonlinear system with thermodynamics, isentropic gas state equation) and applies a renderer similar to the one we used in Delirium to visualize the flow.

What you see initially is a square volume of gas in near-vacuum that expands outwards and bounces off walls multiple times. Ripples that you see inside of the volume are sound waves.
