We started this research together, but because we were in different geographical locations, we opted to look into two different aspects of the same topic: vortex force manipulation. 

One of us decided to work on tornadoes, while the other focused on whirlpools. 

"When I was working on creating whirlpools, I wanted to add waves to make the experience more realistic for the viewer, but when I did, the waves kept interfering with the main whirlpool. Ultimately I wasn't able to overcome this issue in time, but it taught me a lot about Houdini and using tanks in Houdini as I experimented with different nodes and tanks" - Rajveer 

There were other other difficulties in getting both projects to render and come together, but thankfully we both were able to make something we were proud of.
