@@braintruffle Honestly, you have compressed tens of thousands of dollars worth of education into 2 magnificent videos. This format is the future of education and you sir are a pioneer.
The only thing I could think while following your explanations is "outstanding" and "jaw-dropping". I wish I had someone like you while I was studying fluids for the first time. With this quality of work, you will definitely find an appreciative audience, and I am part of them. I feel lucky to have found you and I sent your videos to all my friends interested in this topic, bravo.
RIP little blue particle :') The previous video already earned my instant subscription after a few minutes, and I had to leave some kind of comment here, to stress how amazing your content is. This is how educational videos should be: Well-animated, well-explained, interesting and conveying information, ideas, and concepts through shifting perspectives and superb abstraction. Please keep going, your videos are amazing.
Absolutely amazing. This series may be one of the highest form of human contribution. The intelligence, the knowledge, the ability to describe, the skills to put this series together with such amazing visuals, the patience, the willingness to share and work so hard at it, all add up to something magical.
Wow, I have attended lectures on CFD before, but this series is an absolute eye opener. I don't think I have ever watched a video where I gained so many new perspectives per time. This video is just filled to the brim with it.
Outstanding work. The waiting time was for creating this, of course, has been worth it. I'm going to be sure this reach more people by sharing it with people I know that appreciate a lot this kind of work. I wonder, what is your background, and what motivates you to produce in these videos such a high level of quality?
I really got to thank you for your motivating words! I am very happy that you like it and seeing your videos is a pleasure as well! You clearly have a sound theoretical background. I remember watching your wave function videos as an additional source of verification in preparation to my first video! Excellent visualizations. My background resides in non-linear dynamics, but pretty much everything that moves catches my attention. Since my studies, I just loved building my own simulations that really helped me understanding what is going on. My goal here is to share this experience of understanding by playing with simulations.
@braintruffle simulating to understand is such a powerful idea. I'm just about to start my physics formal study, and I learned SO MUCH from the videos. It helped me to really understand a ton of other content that I've consumed during the last year. Lots of them left me with a taste of "I need a degree to really get it", but apparently I just needed to watch your work. Thank you and congrats.
I have to take my hat off to you. I'm astounded at the quality of this video. The amount of effort for that kind of animations. The level of knowledge you must have in order to explain this so simply and beautifully. Sir please keep going, I'm already trying to share this with everyone. Thank you thank you so much for this lessons!
I must admit, your vocal cadence is a *surprisingly comforting* sleep aid. While my first watch of each video was out of curiosity and interest in the topic and on those merits alone these are brilliant videos, I gotta say that this series is also supremely relaxing and calming, which is very commendable. Hell, I can and have meditated to this, which is a rare quality for a video that isn't specifically designed to be used for meditation or white noise. I've watched each a good dozen or so times so far. Genuinely, thank you for deciding on this format as your presenting style. It helped me understand more of the topic than I expected in decent detail but has also helped me overcome my insomnia on bad nights.
I almost can't believe how great the quality of this series is. Education of this level, it is so fascinating and visually it is beautiful. I'm left here only able to hope it won't be too long before the next video comes out. Thank you!
This is a really complete video for educational purposes. I am a MSc in physics and this cleared up certain stuff I was worried about. I would say it's a little dense in information but it is worth it. Great job.
I know is not much but your last video made me start taking thermodynamics seriously! I want to know more about fluids and I figured that was a place to start.
this right here. it was amazing, congratulations on the work! together with the microscopic perspective, it was one of the most beautiful expositions I've ever seen. the quality of the animations and theoretical backgroud you provide is simply astounding. keep it up.
Is there any way to open source some or all of the code used to generate these simulations? This is incredibly educational, and I'd love to play around with and try to understand the code behind it! Thank you so much for doing this, it's absolutely world class content.
I just finished both videos on the channel so far. As I was watching, I had in my mind "Okay, this is a new amazing channel of someone who's been making science videos for many years." When I looked though, you don't have any other channels linked! This can't honestly be your first work!? This is incredibly good. If you have other work please link it so I can enjoy that as well.
I just found your work this weekend, excellent quality on a topic that isn't explained anywhere else in a way nearly (not same universe) as accessible and thorough, excitedly waiting for new videos!!!
A bit late to the ride, but just wanted to let you know that this series is truly amazing and extremely underrated. Videos like show just how beautiful physics and math can be even for people who are not that into it. Would love to see more!
Thank you so much! I often feel stunned and excited when I dive into certain topics, and to hear that I was able to convey some of that beauty makes me very happy! Thank you so much for your comment!
this is an amazing channel, pure educational gold. It gives me so much inspiration about information theory, intelligence and the true nature of our reality
Great work. I love how you start at the quantum level and only then abstract upward. Never have seen that done in a contiguous way. I really highlights the levels of simplification needed
I have already implemented a 3d fluid simulation for the cpu about a decade ago but I never got very deep into the "nuts and bolts" of the underlying principles or the various approaches. This series really seems to hit the spot, amazing quality content!
Absolutely superb elegant work! I dedicated my life trying to explain through graphics and video things in the most simple and clean way, and I really loved each solution of your videos. Elegance and beauty is in math, in visualization and yes in organized thinking and explaining. Your work is simply beautiful!
The amount of work that went into this is astounding. Good work. I also noticed how the little blobs interact with one another. A subtle detail but one that adds a lot.
Great exposition! Congratulations for the effort. As the only comment, I would suggest adding at key points mentions to the theory/equations that govern the phenomena that you describe in case an interested viewer wanted to dive deeper in the subject. For example, in the previous video it is worth mentioning that decoupling nuclear and electronic dynamics rests on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Here, the velocity distribution of the particles in the box approaches the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, which allows to define temperature. Similarly, the assumption of “molecular chaos” is intimately linked to the concepts of entropy and classical chaos. Keep this up!
Incredible videos! Surprisingly accessible to someone not that familiar with the domain, and the attention to detail is stunning - must have been a lot of work! (In a decade+ of watching RU-vid I think this might be my first comment - that's how good it is!)
4:31 man, not only this video is just pure amazingness, but the fact that you ALSO animate this cute 3D balls reacting to the great simulations makes it even better. I can only begin to imagine the hundreds of hours behind this video (and also the previous one)
I'm seriously amazed by the quelity of this video: the content, the animations, the explanation... And all in a channel barely above 35K. Bravo, sir. I a really hyped about watching your other videos. I'll be honest, the internet is sometimes a shit show, and it can seriously fuck our mental health up. But this is a perfect example of why it's worth it in the whole scale of things. Thank you for your work. I guarantee you there will be people who will have an "aha" moment thanks to you. You would make an awesome teacher BTW!
Superb video! Beautifully explains the concepts behind the approximations of continuum dynamics. I wrote a fluid simulator back in college and I feel like I am relearning what I did back then, but understanding it better from your videos! Awesome work. Love the narration and the presentation style. An absolute treasure of a video series.
Wow, this is such a well thought out and visually stunning and explanatory video, I'm in awe. This rivals the quality of huge educational youtubers and in my opinion exceeds them in a lot of aspects. I really can follow you all the way and through every step, the script and flow is amazing. I really love how you present this as a logical journey from the most detailed and localized perspective to the most broad and useful perspective, through supposed problems and then the revelation of ingenious solutions, but always motivated by the ulterior goal. Awesome! I am sharing this immediately with my friends, we are attending a thermodynamics and statistical mechanics lecture at university, this is going to make understanding the bigger picture so much easier. Thank your for this amazing content!
You perfectly describe my intention with this series and I'm so glad the actual message is resonating! Thank you so much for your feedback and also for sharing! I wish you and your friends the best of luck with your studies.
I keep on flipping from the abstract consepts to practical consepts as I watch and listen. Maybe that's intended and represents the dual nature of things, static solid - fluid dynamic. Space could be defined by the amount of particle collisions, as could the generated vacuums on earth. Pressured gas behaves differently from unbound gas. Really good explanations, thank you.
Thank you for another masterpiece! I fall in love with the data representation and visualization. Just amazing. Very good coverage both from math and physics point of view and the logic is easy to follow. What is your expectation to publish the next part? I am eager to see it.
What a brilliant and interesting video! I really enjoy it and you just help me visualize the concepts I learned from CFD. Really looking forward to your next masterpiece!
Amazing explanation! I wish I could ever take college lectures by you but I'm grateful I could somewhat do it by watching this videos! I'll be joyfully waiting for the next video
