Found another set of animations of particle model output from some past work. The image below is a snapshot during the early part of the output of a simulation of the Deepwater Horizon oilspill, animations of which were ultimately used in parts of the court cases.
Python’s visvis library used to render the results of an oilspill simulation:

Two Ways To Run Python *In* The Browser
JupyterLite #
WebAssembly (WASM) is changing the game with regards to Python running legitimately in the browser…
JupyterLite is a Jupyter Notebook/Lab and Ipython implementation based on Pyodide.
I caught wind of JupyterLite from this blog post.
Easily embed a console, a notebook, or a fully-fledged IDE on any web page.
In a previous blog post, we announced JupyterLite, a JupyterLab distribution that runs entirely in the web browser, backed by in-browser language kernels.

Gone are the days of having to use config.guess and sed replcements to customize the cmplrflags.mk for a particular HPC environment.
Here is the process to build the ADCIRC hydrodynamic model using CMake from the command line on a GNU/Linux host. The CMake infrastructure has only been available in the last few releases of ADCIRC, and this example uses v55.00 from the compressed tar archive of the code. The options specified below enable serial adcirc, distributed parallel padcirc, coupled serial adcswan (ADCIRC+SWAN), and the parallel coupled padcswan model. Standalone parallel SWAN and unstructured SWAN models are also configured, along with the adcprep ADCIRC pre-processor and other utilities.
