  text: This paper presents a method for simulating water surface waves as a displacement
    field on a 2D domain. Our method relies on Lagrangian particles that carry packets
    of water wave energy; each packet carries information about an entire group of
    wave trains, as opposed to only a single wave crest. Our approach is unconditionally
    stable and can simulate high resolution geometric details. This approach also
    presents a straightforward interface for artistic control, because it is essentially
    a particle system with intuitive parameters like wavelength and amplitude. Our
    implementation parallelizes well and runs in real time for moderately challenging
    scenarios.
