Is it possible to create floods in GAZEBO?

Good morning, I want to create a drone flying above a flood in a city (with people), but I do not know if this is possible. If so, how can I do it?. Thanks for aswering.

Could you explain a bit more what this flood should look like? Would a picture of a flood be enough for you, or do you need something else?

The flood should have the properties of a real fluid.

There have been efforts to integrate fluid simulation into Gazebo in the past, you can see a tutorial here, but that's a bit out of date.

If you don't care about the physical behavior of the fluid, but only about it's appearance, you could try animating visuals that move like a fluid. Here's an example of how to animate a simple box, you could change the box appearance to look like a fluid, and have many small boxes animated in sync to look like a fluid.

Hope that helps!
