### Online demo: https://alexander-barth.github.io/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/

[FluidSimDemo.webm](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9881475/232729285-acb24bd8-e97d-4ce6-b9f2-84a625cdb1f9.webm)

WebAssembly or WASM is a low level instruction set which allows running compiled language
inside a WebBrowser. For example C and Rust code can be compiled to WASM and then loaded and executed by the Browser runtime.

Technically one could also run interpreted language like Python (implemented in C)
in a webbrowser by compiling the interpreter to WASM (in the case of python, this is the goal of the [pyodide](https://pyodide.org/) project).
A similar approach was undertaken by Keno Fisher porting [julia 1.3 to WASM](https://github.com/Keno/julia-wasm) using emscripten.

On the other hand, a subset of Julia can also be compiled ahead-of-time using GPUCompiler.jl/StaticCompiler.jl. WASM is one of the enabled output targets of the LLVM compiler bundled in julia.

Encouraged by post of running [Julia with StaticCompiler.jl](https://seelengrab.github.io/articles/Running%20Julia%20baremetal%20on%20an%20Arduino/)  on an Arduino, how difficult could it be to run a non-trivial julia code in a WebBrowser using WASM?

This approach here uses a subset of the Julia language and the array object of StaticTools.jl to create a small WASM program. In particular we should have:
* No dynamic memory allocation and garbage collector
* No code that could throw an exception (in particular no bounds checks)
* Only scalars and arrays of integer and floats can be used between JavaScript and Julia (in particular no boolean arrays).

Luckily, the julia programming language does not get in your way to write low-level code. However it is possible to use higher-level constructs like tuples and named tuples inside the julia code but such data structures cannot be (easily) made available in JavaScript.

## Perequisites

* Julia 32-bit from https://julialang.org/downloads/
* The command line tools  `wasm-ld` and `wasm2wat`
* Compiler clang
* For testing, it is useful to use JavaScript runtime node

On Ubuntu 24.04, these requirements can be install by:

```bash
sudo apt install wabt clang lld nodejs
```

To install all julia dependencies, start the 32-bit version of julia and run:

```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.activate("/path/to/this/source/code")
Pkg.instantiate()
```

The source code of the fluid model is in a separate repository: https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/FluidSimDemo.jl
If you are not using the Manifest file, you can install the unregistered dependencies via:

```julia
]add https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/SpatialHashing.jl https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics.jl  https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/FluidSimDemo.jl
```

## Generating WASM binary from julia code

We will use `GPUCompiler.jl` to declare a `WASMTarget` and to emit WASM code. This is the file [`wasm_target.jl`](wasm_target.jl) which we will use.

Note that we use 32-bit julia (on Linux) and 32-bit WASM format.
Using the 64-bit version (of julia or the WASM format) did not work for me.

One of the simplest functions would be to add two integers and return the sum.

```julia
include("wasm_target.jl")

function add(a::Int32,b::Int32)
    return a+b
end

obj = build_obj(add, Tuple{Int32,Int32})

write("test_add.o", obj)
```

The wasm object file is saved to `test_add.o` which can be inspected by `wasm2wat`.

```
$ wasm2wat test_add.o 
(module
  (type (;0;) (func (param i32 i32) (result i32)))
  (import "env" "__linear_memory" (memory (;0;) 0))
  (func $julia_add (type 0) (param i32 i32) (result i32)
    local.get 1
    local.get 0
    i32.add))
```

Note that the function add has been prefixed by `julia_`.

The linker step is necessary to export the `julia_add` function.

```
wasm-ld --no-entry --export-all -o test_add.wasm test_add.o
```

To test the WASM binary, it is convenient to use `node`. The code can be executed by running:

```bash
node test_add_node.js
```

This should output the sum of 2 and 3 computed in Julia/WASM.
The `test_add_node.js` file loads the WASM binary can call the `julia_add` function:

```javascript
const fs = require('fs');

const wasmBuffer = fs.readFileSync('test_add.wasm');
WebAssembly.instantiate(wasmBuffer).then(wasmModule => {
    // Exported function live under instance.exports
    const { julia_add, memory } = wasmModule.instance.exports;

// Call the function and display the results.
    const result = julia_add(2,3)
    console.log(result);
});
```

## Using arrays

The Julia base array type can unfortunately not be used but the array type of [StaticTools.jl](https://github.com/brenhinkeller/StaticTools.jl)
is accepted by GPUCompiler.jl.

The memory layout is [relatively simple](https://github.com/brenhinkeller/StaticTools.jl/blob/480d7514304190cb6b8e71331d7119959d80e3e2/src/mallocarray.jl#L21-L25):

```julia
 struct MallocArray{T,N} <: DensePointerArray{T,N}
     pointer::Ptr{T}
     length::Int
     size::NTuple{N, Int}
 end
 ```
 
So we have essentially:
* a pointer
* the total number of elements (`length`)
* a tuple with the size along each dimension

The code [`test_matrix_node.js`](test_matrix_node.js) emulates such an array. For a matrix (2D array), there are thus four 32-bit integers: pointer, number of elements, number of lines and number of rows (where the number of elements is the product of the number of rows and lines).

WASM exposes a special binary data buffer `memory.buffer` to allocate such data structures. A pointer would then just be an index or rather offset relative to the start of this byte buffer. Using JavaScript’s typed arrays, a part of the buffer can be interpreted as a vector of 32-bit integer, 64-bit floating point number,...
JavaScript typed arrays are always one-dimensional, which correspond to a flatten view of the array seen from Julia. As a consequence, for
JavaScript typed array there is no additional difficulty concerning row-major or column-major matrix layout.

The example code [`test_matrix.jl`](test_matrix.jl) sums over all elements of a matrix and in addition it mutates all elements by adding 1. Running the JavaScript code [`test_matrix_node.js`](test_matrix_node.js) gives the expected output. As in Julia, scalar parameters (32/64-bit integer, floats) are passed by value while arrays are passed by reference and can thus changes are visible
by the caller.

## Fluid simulation

### 2D Navier-Stokes equations (with rigid-lid)

As a final example we take a simple 2D fluid simulation solving the inviscid and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.
It is based on the [compact implementation](https://github.com/matthias-research/pages/blob/master/tenMinutePhysics/17-fluidSim.html) of
Matthias Müller reimplemented in Julia: 
[FluidSimDemo.jl](https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/FluidSimDemo.jl)

The generated WASM binary assumes that a `memset` function exists. Lukily, this function is simple enought that we can provide a [C-implementation](https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/blob/main/memset.c) that can be compiled to wasm with `clang`.

The online demo is [avialable here](https://alexander-barth.github.io/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/):

[![image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alexander-Barth/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/main/images/test_fluid_sim.png)](https://alexander-barth.github.io/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/)

The WASM binary is created by:

```julia
include("test_fluid_sim.jl")
```

### 2D shallow water equations

The shallow water equations model is similar to the 2D Navier-Stokes equations but the implicit pressure solver is replaced by explicit for the free surface. If the time step is too large, the model can be come unstable.

The online demo is [available here](https://alexander-barth.github.io/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/ShallowWater):

[![image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alexander-Barth/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/main/images/SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics.png)](https://alexander-barth.github.io/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics/)

The julia code is based on [SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics.jl](https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics.jl)

### Layered ocean model

[![image](https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/assets/9881475/ef539002-4088-4b6c-8ca5-fb6efc78ce29)](https://alexander-barth.github.io/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/NLayers/)

In a layered ocean model, the ocean is represented by a series of $m$ layers each with a constant density 
$ρ_k$ ($k= 1,...,m$) where $k=1$ represents the surface layer. The thickness ($h_k$) and the velocity ($u_k$) for a 1D vertical section is given by:

$$
\begin{alignat*}{2}
\frac{∂h_k}{∂t} &= - \frac{∂}{∂x}  (h_{m,k} u) \\
\frac{∂u_k}{∂t} - f v &= - \frac{1}{ρ_k} \frac{∂P_{k}}{∂x} \\
\frac{∂v_k}{∂t} + f u &= - \frac{1}{ρ_k} \frac{∂P_{k}}{∂y}
\end{alignat*}
$$

where $f$ is the Coriolis parameter. We have ommit the non-linear terms and assume $\frac{∂P_{k}}{∂y} = 0$. $h_{m,k}$ is the mean thickness of layer $k$ and the Montgomery potential $P_k$ is determined using:

$$\frac{P_{k+1} - P_{k}}{ρ_{k+1} - ρ_{k}} = g z_{k+1}$$

where $p$ is the pressure, $ρ$ the density, $g$ the acceleration due to gravity and $z$ the vertical coordinate. At the surface, the Montgomery potential P is given by:

$$P_1 = g z_1 ρ_1$$

$z_{m+1}$ is equal to the bottom depth ($z_{m+1} = -b$). By adding the depth of every layer going upwards we have (for $k = m...1$)

$$
z_k = z_{k+1} + h_k
$$

Then we can compute the Montgomery potential $P$ going downwards (for $k = 2...m$)

$$
P_{k+1} = P_k + (ρ_{k+1}-ρ_{k})  g z_{k+1}
$$

See chapter 12 "Layered Models" of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics: Physical and Numerical Aspects, Benoit Cushman-Roisin, Jean-Marie Beckers, Academic Press, 2011 for more information.

The up and dowward integration can also be written as matrix multiplication. If $M$ is a $m$ by $m$ upper triangular matrix $M_{i,j} = 1$ for $i \le j$ and zero otherwise:

$$
\mathbf z = \mathbf M \mathbf h - b \mathbf 1
$$

where $\mathbf 1$ is a vector of $m$ elements all equal to one. The upward integration is done via the matrix transpose $\mathbf M^T$:

$$
\mathbf P = \mathbf M^T \mathbf D \mathbf z
$$

where $\mathbf D$ is a diagonal matrix whose non-zero elements are given by $D_{1,1} = g ρ_1$ and $D_{i,i} = g (ρ_{i+1} - ρ_i)$ (for $i = 2,...m$)

In total, the layers are coupled by:

$$
\mathbf P = \mathbf M^T \mathbf D \mathbf M \mathbf h - b \mathbf M^T \mathbf D \mathbf 1
$$

The second term is a constant and it does not contribute to the gradient of Montgomery potential P and can therefore be ignored.
Finding the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the symmetric matrix $\mathbf S = \mathbf M^T \mathbf D \mathbf M$, decouples the $m$-layered model into a series of uncloupled shallow water models. The propagation speed each mode is given by the corresponding eigenvalue.

### Gray-Scott equations

[![image](https://github.com/Alexander-Barth/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/assets/9881475/de977fc6-24a1-45ab-b4e0-878acf3815c1)](https://alexander-barth.github.io/FluidSimDemo-WebAssembly/GrayScott/)

Two tracers $u$ and $v$ inteact with the following diffusion-reaction equations:

$$
\begin{alignat*}{2}
\frac{∂u}{∂t} &= D_u ∇²u - u v² + f (1 - u) \\
\frac{∂v}{∂t} &= D_v ∇²v + u v² - (f + k) v
\end{alignat*}
$$
