About this app
Wind Tunnel Lab is an interactive 3D aerodynamics simulation environment that allows users to test various preset objects or custom shapes inside a virtual wind tunnel. It calculates fluid dynamic properties in real time, including drag coefficient, drag force, lift or downforce, Reynolds number, and flow separation points. Users can visualize streamlines, smoke flows, surface pressure maps, and Karman vortex shedding across different fluids and surface roughness settings.
Use cases
- Physics and engineering students studying fluid dynamics and aerodynamics concepts
- Educators demonstrating drag crisis, ground effects, and vortex shedding in classroom settings
- Designers and enthusiasts testing drag and lift characteristics on various 3D shapes and vehicles
Features
- Interactive 3D wind tunnel view with orbit control, zoom, and adjustable yaw angles
- Real-time calculations of drag coefficient Cd, drag, lift, Reynolds number, and required power
- Adjustable fluid mediums including standard air, cold air, high-altitude air, and water
- Visualizations for smoke flow, streamlines, wake vortex shedding, and surface pressure distribution
- Rough surface toggle to simulate boundary layer turbulence and the drag crisis
