Universum
Open source N-body & CFD simulator for science and art
The simulator visualizes the collective dynamics of millions of identical particles that interact through Newtonian attraction, short‑range elastic repulsion, and active spin. By applying only these minimal local rules, the system produces self‑organized structures such as vortex filaments, spiral galaxies, stable cores, and cell‑like formations that can grow, split, merge and heal. The emergent patterns are generated in real time and can be downloaded for further analysis or artistic use.
It targets users interested in exploring concepts at the intersection of computational physics, fluid dynamics, and generative art. Researchers can experiment with parameters to study self‑organization, superfluid‑like behavior, and the emergence of complex structures, while artists can harness the visual output for creative projects. The web‑based interface provides sliders for particle count, system size, and interaction strengths, followed by a run button that initiates the simulation.
The tool is open source and positioned as an experimental platform for both scientific investigation and artistic expression, offering a simple workflow: adjust parameters, run the simulation, and export the results.
