Rainbow

Parent: Notes Index

Rainbow models sunlight scattered by individual water droplets in waterfall spray. A homogeneous bounded cloud is the baseline. Spectral droplet optics and a CPU particle renderer produce physically interpretable images and configurable parameter sweeps. Workspace: /home/john/py/rainbow.
