= Ripple simulation =

The Ripple solver simulations the propagation of ripples across a surface.

See the [Ripple Object|Node:dop/rippleobject] dynamics node for how to set up a object for rippling.

See the [Ripple Solver|Node:dop/ripplesolver] for the solver parameters.

Ripple propagation, while easiest to understand on
a height field, _is not restricted to grid topology_.  Ripples can propagate
along a curve, through a 3d lattice of points, or even across a
complicated triangular mesh.
