Fluid Dynamics Hero
Advanced fluid simulation with image distortion and velocity-based effects. Realistic liquid motion with interactive mouse response.
When to Use
Perfect for creative studios, high-performance SaaS landing pages, and Next.js applications that want to emphasize motion and fluidity. Use this React component for a realistic liquid simulation that distorts everything in its path with smooth, velocity-based math.
Best Practices
Optimize for performance in large-scale applications by limiting the number of active fluid particles. Follow React best practices by setting a `drag` value that makes the interaction feel viscous and expensive. Maintain scalable component architecture by using this as a focal point for your hero section.
Why This Component Matters
High-fidelity fluid dynamics are the pinnacle of interactive modern frontend development. This production-ready component provides a robust implementation of complex physics, giving your project a layer of polish that is rarely seen in standard web apps.
FAQ
QHow realistic is the simulation?
It uses Navier-Stokes equations for real-time fluid dynamics, providing one of the most realistic liquid experiences possible in a browser.
QCan I use an image background?
Yes, the fluid simulation can act as a distortion layer on top of any background image, creating 'ripples' as the mouse moves.
QIs it mobile-friendly?
The component is optimized for WebGL, but we recommend lowering the simulation resolution on mobile for the smoothest experience.
