It looks very good.  If you wrote the simulation engine yourself i guess 
a lot of people here would be interested in it.

Note that you don't need to generate a mesh from the scalar field, 
POV-Ray can directly render isosurfaces.  I did renders of fluid 
simulations before by generating a density file from the simulation data 
and using it in an isosurface.
