Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything to run Deep Ocean & Underwater World simulations?

No. Everything runs entirely in your browser — no downloads, plugins or accounts. Works in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari; most simulations also work on mobile.

Can I use these simulations for teaching?

Yes — all content is free for educational use under CC BY 4.0. Link to any simulation directly or embed it in your LMS with an iframe; no API key required.

Are the models scientifically accurate?

They use the same mathematical formulations as professional software, integrated numerically in real time. Each simulation lists its algorithms, and many link to an article explaining the mathematics.
