🌊 3D Bioluminescent Plankton: Shear-Triggered Flashes Around a Kayak and Paddle in a Night Sea

3D night-sea simulation of mechanically triggered dinoflagellate flashes around a Blender kayak and paddle: potential-flow strain rate UR^3/r^4, shear-stress threshold, luciferin depletion and recovery, advection and diffusion, with numerical checks.

⚙ Under the hood

A Blender kayak and paddle stir a 3D night sea: dinoflagellates flash where the flow's strain rate gives a shear stress above their threshold, with luciferin depletion and recovery, advection and diffusion, graphs and numerical checks.
