Abstract
Based on hydraulic equations, we present a model for physically based simulation of water currents and waves, which is suitable for simulati ng most common behavior of currents and waves. Conditioning the initia l values of the equations, we can easily simulate many kinds of realis tic currents, such as rapids, ripples, tides, spray, foams, etc., and the examples have been rendered.
