Hey! I'm the author of this article and just noticed the huge traffic spike.

This was my first time writing a shader. I was just playing around on shadertoy when I realized I could implement this chemical model that has fascinated me for quite some time. I'm really happy with how well my results align with results from other people who have done this before me.

While writing the article, I noticed that the same kind of shader implementation has already been done before.

Feel free to ask me anything about the implementation or the chemical model

I considered trying to do something like this for CFD (specifically to see if I could show how lift is created by airflow over an airfoil). I got kind of stuck on it though and gave up, too far out of my area. Awesome to see others doing things like this though, feels like it’s an area ripe for exploitation!
