The simulation is not matter for me, because it's my major research area. I'm
quite familiar to computational fluid dynamics and fluid simulation in computer
graphics field.

I'm wondering how I can make POV-Ray to recognize such partially darker and more
reflective regions. Using texture? (manually generated one using saturation or
density data coming from the simulation result) media? or other way?
