In this model an oscillation piston creates waves within a 250 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm tank. A solid block of 900 kg/m^3 density floats on one side of the tank and capsizes under the influence of the standing waves.The color of each fluid particle corresponds to its velocity magnitude (m/s) at each time step.
In this view the motion of the particles at the boundary of the model iceberg are shown. The color of each solid particle corresponds to its acceleration magnitude (m/s^2) at each time step.
