概要

Researchers at MIT have introduced PlanetWaves, a model that predicts how winds shape liquid surfaces across different worlds. The findings reveal dramatic contrasts: a gentle breeze on Earth could generate massive waves on Titan due to its low gravity and hydrocarbon seas.

By factoring in atmospheric pressure and liquid density, the model extends to environments from ancient oceans on Mars to extreme lava worlds. Beyond theory, this research informs the design of future spacecraft and deepens our understanding of how alien seas sculpt planetary landscapes.
