Creating Curling Waves in Blender | FLIP Fluids

There are many softwares out there dedicated to simulating large realistic bodies of fluids, but is such a feat possible in the free computer graphics software, Blender 3D?
4 months of production, 96 hours of baking, 240 hours of rendering, 15 inconvenient crashes went into the creation of this video.

    This video is absolutely brilliant! Love what you’ve done here. As an avid surfer and CG artist I’ve always wanted to try experimenting with fluid dynamics to explore bottom contours and their effects on waves. There’s a lot of really interesting stuff happening with man-made surf parks (Kelly Slater’s pool, the NLand park in Austin and the BSR Surf Ranch in Waco) this all experimented with small scale models and I’m sure some simulations too but now after seeing this I would love to see how different wave frequencies and contours effect each other! My mind is racing! Thanks again for this!!

    Your research is *highly* appreciated, great work. I think one thing I might look into further testing is, different speeds of the wave generators for each style, and then also how seafloor variation affects the results (ie some rocks jutting out here and there for a wider sim). Also really appreciate your insights in the what could further investigated, like calling out the mist and sand cloud. Something interesting I wouldn't have thought of myself necessarily.

    it is insane how well your physical model works for this! The only setting I would have tweaked in the display of the fluids would be to bring the size of the whitewater particles down by a bit and increase the total number of whitewater particles to give you more sea foam/whitewater in the break, other than that this is incredible!

    As a fellow CG artist that uses flip fluids as well, I've found that there are ways to alter your settings to make more realistic foam that stays on the water, simply turning up the max particle amount and generation rate a ton helps a lot, but just play around with the settings until you find something nice. It's too complex to describe the perfect setup but I know for a fact it's possible, but the simulation itself is beautiful. I've tried doing waves myself but I really only did half the job right, I didn't put as much effort into the pushers/reefs as you did so this video comes to a great amount of help to me!
