Wind tunnel
Sketch an object, release it into the flow and watch the air find a route around your design.
Draw an object in the tunnel. Release to solve the airflow around it.
A compact lattice fluid model solves the velocity field across the full tunnel. The drawing acts as a solid boundary, while moving tracer streaks reveal acceleration, separation and wake flow.
Built to be played with. These are small prototypes with room to grow.
