# laplacianDamping

Damping applied to the velocities of the particles, based on the velocities of their connecting particles.

## Declaration

```swift
var laplacianDamping: Float { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Higher values will make the cloth behave more similar to a “wet cloth”. The valid range is [0.0, 1.0], both included. Values outside the valid range are clamped. The default value is 0.1.
