What I do at the moment might not be really usable by you. At the start I wanted to \
create something that could really handle the navier-stokes equations, but that will \
not work for me since it is way too slow.

At the moment I'm mostly looking at Jos Stam's research (google 'gdc 03 fluid \
dynamics' he has source as well) and then extending it using Ron Fedkiw's stuff ( \
http://physbam.Stanford.edu/~fedkiw/ ).

My proposal is 2d at the moment as well. But Stam's solver is only 99 lines of code. \
So I don't really want to bring in a large dependency...

Hi Casper,
 I'd be interested to know more about your fluid simulation project at
your University. This summer I will be working on a project that is
quite similar to your idea for Google Summer of Code. I will be
implementing fast fluid/gas simulation in Step
(http://edu.kde.org/step/) however, I will not be working in 3D or
using OpenGL.

 A previous summer of code student was also building a game using the
Step engine, so a "smoke and fans" based game may be quite feasible
within our current engine, albeit in 2D, if my summer of code project
is successful.

-Chris
