Abstract
The main goal of my project was to show the effects that toxic waste was having
on our environment by showing how quickly that it spreads through water. I
used a program obtained off of the Internet and with help modified it to suit my
needs. First of all I changed it from having two circles to one and then I made
that circle smaller. Basically the results were evident, the circle spread out and
diffused into the water just as I expected. I used four iterations. They were:
number 1, number 100, number 200, and number 300. My hypotheses proved
correct in that I expected the dye to spread rapidly and infect the water as a
whole. If there was more available time there could have possibly been further
research done and I would have been able to diffuse the dye more thoroughly.
