Abstract: Recent events in the Gulf Coast has elicited the reconsideration of structural design methods and the engineering standards to which protective structures are held, and the forces of nature they are to withstand.
The intention of our project is to provide an accurate simulation of the effects of water and dynamic wave forces that act upon structures such as levees, and by supplying applicable information, aid in the creation and redesign of stronger more capable structures.
We will begin our simulation by using Java, and utilizing algorithms, vectors & other mathematical devices to individually track and project the path of the movement of a water molecule and the relation of it to other molecules to create a uniform and precise replication of fluid motion.
