    Love your efforts to keep us informed on super interesting research topics in an very concise and well-articulated manner. Keep it up 🙂

  • @veggiet2009 says:

    At first I thought that the simulation was intending on simulating a moving dipper, as if someone were grabbing it and moving it, and so I really didn’t see anything wrong with the first sims, but who-whee that was wrong!

    • @finnishwehraboo8377 says:

      Same

    • @Vgamer311 says:

      Yeah, I was thinking that the rolled up honey at the end looked fairly off, but otherwise it’s not a terrible simulation. Then I realized that it was actually extremely thin honey, a super buoyant dipper, and the glass was coated in the repulsion gel from portal 2. Otherwise it was a perfect simulation.

  • @Holobrine says:

    Has anyone tried to simulate cooking a pancake? Like, starting with pouring the batter, and simulating the whole process until the pancake is done?

    Or any kind of baking, for that matter? If you can simulate baking a cake, then you can bake the bake.

    • @brainmind4070 says:

      The problem is that frying a pancake involves chemical reactions that change the phase from liquid to solid. I’m not saying it’s not possible; it’s just a little beyond the scope of a fluid simulation.

    • @Holobrine says:

      Brain Mind That’s why I’m interested if anyone has done any work on that.

    • @brainmind4070 says:

      @@Holobrine Fair enough.

    • @willtheoct says:

      ​@@Holobrine are you asking about a chemical simulation? the answer is no – this would be way too much to do in real time and is wholly unnecessary.
      if you don’t care about the chemical aspect and are just looking for bubbles and a liquid turning to solid in parts, well I haven’t seen any, but maybe someone has.

    • @archivethearchives says:

      William Weissman quantum computers can be used to specialize in simulating things in levels around a molecular and particle scale. I think most things I’ve seen have been simulating crystal lattices and stuff for theoretical research. I honestly don’t know why you’d want to simulate all the processes of thermal dynamics to chemical reactions for such a process, seeing as all of these things in such a circumstance would only be visually observable, thus leaving out many other important aspects of scientific observation. Maybe it’d be realistic to say that simulations only need to achieve a reasonable perception within what can be observed, much as how dreams streamline what is perceived.

  • @simpson6700 says:

    Not a scholar, i just like watching simulations. These rippling “tears” in fluid simulation like in the one with the martini glass have bothered me quite some time now, real fluid doesn’t do that, it sticks together and sticks to surfaces, so it “rolls” down slanted surfaces that are even steeper than 90 degrees and creates funnels where the rest of the fluid prefers to go to.

  • @DavorHorvat says:

    The honey density highly depends of the temperature of the honey.
