Building a Physics-Based Acrylic Pouring Simulator with Claude

The tool simulates mixing acrylic paint, water, and thickeners, specifically recreating the "cell" effects using Rayleigh-Taylor instability principles when colors mix. This allows the author to digitally revisit a hobby that is typically expensive and messy.
