Ocean Wave Simulation

This project simulates an ocean surface using OpenGL with GLUT. It generates various types of waves based on predefined parameters and renders them in a 3D environment.The project uses sine waves to simulate the ocean surface

Features

  • Simulates different types of waves:
    • Stormy waves
    • Large, rolling waves
    • Choppy, wind-generated waves
    • Medium waves with varying direction
  • Allows navigation within the 3D environment:
    • Arrow keys for rotation
    • WASD keys for movement
    • Plus and minus keys for zooming
  • Real-time rendering using OpenGL

Files

  • main.cpp: Contains the main program code.
  • wave.h: Header file defining classes for waves and ocean simulation.
  • spectrum.txt: Text file containing parameters for generating wave spectra.

Requirements

  • C++ compiler
  • OpenGL
  • GLUT

Usage

To compile and run the ocean wave simulation, follow these steps:

  1. Compile the main.cpp file with the following command:

    g++ main.cpp -o ocean_simulation -lfftw3 -lglut -lGL -lGLU

    This command compiles the source code and generates an executable named ocean_simulation.

  2. Run the compiled executable:

    ./ocean_simulation

    This command executes the compiled program, launching the ocean wave simulation.

  3. Use the following controls to navigate within the simulation:

    • Arrow keys: Rotate the view.
    • WASD keys: Move the camera.
    • Plus (+) and minus (-) keys: Zoom in and out.

Future Work

  • Add fft and gpu support
  • use gestner and try different wave generating algorithms

Enjoy exploring the simulated ocean environment!
