A cell is partly flooded and stabilizing when:

  • The predicted water height at one edge is zero and the water in that direction is flowing away from that edge. The predicted water height is the predicted water level minus the terrain height at that edge.
  • If water flows toward the dry edge, the cell is not considered partially flooded and won't stabilize against the neighboring source cell.
