show a progressive wave on a 256 by 256 site grid. The parameters used are , and . The difference between the interface shown here where and the interface of the standing waves shown in, for example figure 7-3, where can be seen. Here there is a definite region around the interface where there is a mixture of the two fluids. This can be see in figures 8-1 - 8-10 as the grey region around the interface. This region is not there in figure 7-3 where the interface is much sharper.
