Ropes of cooling lava buckle into overlapping folds. A travelling compression wave moves through a broad tongue, a narrow stream or a branching fan.
Pāhoehoe-inspired geometry · travelling fold waves
An art-directed parametric sheet, rather than a thermal lava simulation. A smooth envelope confines the stream; travelling waves compress its cross-sections and curl their edges. The twenty-second cycle closes seamlessly. Move the vent to reposition the flow.
