Could you build this?
Partial The viewer UI and NVIDIA Warp kernels are approachable, but credible ionization-front, pillar, and bubble physics requires astrophysics expertise and careful numerical validation.
What it would actually take: Use NVIDIA Warp for GPU-based fluid or radiative-transfer kernels and a volume renderer (WebGPU/CUDA or OpenGL) for visualization with interactive parameters. The hard part is the physical model: ionization balance, photoionization, and hydrodynamics need domain knowledge to produce scientifically plausible results. A real version needs an astrophysicist or computational physicist to validate the model against known simulations.
