How would I go about implementing fluid dynamics in a game, such as can be seen in this video?

\$\begingroup\$ A search term that may be useful to you is "smoothed particle hydrodynamics". Update: here is a very good introduction to the field. \$\endgroup\$– DaleyPaleyCommented Apr 16, 2013 at 5:36

It looks like the game is just using a fairly simple particle fluid simulation. Basically, the "water" consists of little balls that move according to Newtonian mechanics, fall under gravity and repel each other over short distances. The blobs of water are then drawn around the particles using something like metaballs to smooth the surface.

Looks very similar to the water in PixelJunk shooter. There is a PDF on how the water was done:

Try to read great serious of articles from Intel about fluid simulation for video games http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/fluid-simulation-for-video-games-part-1/
And also try this, fluid simulation in Alice game http://developer.nvidia.com/content/fluid-simulation-alice-madness-returns
