Any Squeakers into CFD?

... that's Computational Fluid Dynamics. I'm specifically interested
in running a Navier-Stokes simulation using something like the Volume
of Fluid model to deal with free surface movement. My first goal is
to be able to duplicate something like the following simulation of a
breaking wave:

I want to be able to run similar simulations for waves breaking
against different shaped walls.
Most people use big programs in C or Fortran (!), and half the
trouble is learning how to use them, since there's no prayer of
changing them. However the basic equations can be written in half a
page, and I don't need it to run very fast.
It could be fun but so far it looks like it will be simpler to build
a wave tank :-(.
Thanks for any useful pointers.
