Hi guys,  
i’m a beginner here and in the study of processing;  
Is there someone could help me to find some fluid or smoke library similar to this:

any kind of advice to make this kind of stuff, would be very welcome.  
Thanks.

One thought to get you started is taking a look at a tutorial on fluid simulations. I enjoyed Dan Schroeder’s [lab](https://physics.weber.edu/schroeder/fluids/) on Lattice Boltzmann Methods and ported his pure JavaScript implementation to p5.js and TensorFlow.js a few months ago (demo [here](https://mcintyre.io/sketches/ghosts/)). Pretty sure I screwed something up with performance, but hey, there’s an opportunity to learn! You could reference his Java implementation for Processing.
