🌋 Three-Dimensional Lava Lamp - 2D Side View of Thermal Buoyancy, Stokes Drag and Blob Merging
The 2D companion of the lava lamp simulation: a side view of wax blobs that heat, expand, rise, cool and sink, with Stokes drag, merging and pinch-off, a temperature profile and live density, speed and population graphs.
