Yes, these are part of the algorithm although they are not unrealistic per
se, There is usually some kind of splashing after a body enters the water
because the water surfaces collide, but it's commonly not that smooth of
course.

You can't see this as individual springs, you simply have the potential
field of the environment and the other bodies and calculate the forces
from it.
