Proposal for the project

• Model ocean waves
• Adopt Fournier-Reeves model Fournier Reeves
• Particle systems
• Realistic looking waves
• Realistic motion of the waves
• Range of waves and other effects such as wind,
  shallow bottom etc
• Model interaction of moving rigid objects with
  the ocean
• Say a ship moving in the sea
• How do ocean and object affect each others
  motion ?
• Model buoyancy
