Ocean Waves Simulator (2D)

Interactive 2D ocean wave simulator: a side-view swell built from the deep-water dispersion relation, with live wavelength, phase speed and steepness readouts, plus wind chop and particle-orbit visualization.

This 2D side-view simulator builds an ocean swell directly from the deep-water dispersion relation ω² = gk: set the wave height and period and watch the resulting wavelength, phase speed, group speed and steepness update live, with a wind-direction control that blends in choppy short waves and shrinking particle-orbit circles that show how wave motion fades with depth.
