FLOW TANK LAB

Change the shape, flow, and medium, then watch dye trails, particles, and wake gather around the body.

RUNNING

First observationDrag the body, switch shapes, or choose Draw and sketch a rough obstacle in the tank current.

SHAPE / FLOW / MEDIUM

DYE / PARTICLES / WAKE

SYSTEM NOTE

A current becomes readable when dye has something to wrap around.

This LAB is a visual approximation of flow around a body in a tank.

OBSERVATION POINTS

Dye, particles, shape, wake.

Tank Flow uses a lightweight browser grid; Diagram gives a quicker particle-field comparison.
Circle, Plate, Streamline, Wing, and Draw make the same stream split, slow, and rejoin differently.
Dye Water, Smoke Stream, and Thick Fluid change how the current, tracer trails, and wake bubbles read on the canvas.
This differs from Vortex Flow Mixer: the subject is a body interrupting the tank current, not free vortex centers.

OBSERVATION

Choose a shape and watch dye, particles, and wake gather around it.

MODE NOTE

Dye Water / Tank Flow shows a readable tank current with dye trails and wake. This is a visual observation model.

SYSTEM NOTE

v(x,y) is a browser velocity field around a body mask inside a tank. omega = partial v_y / partial x - partial v_x / partial y hints at wake rotation, delta p = p_front - p_wake softly colors pressure difference, and dx/dt = v(x,y) moves dye and tracer particles. Flow load and wake energy are visual proxies, not engineering CFD values.

OBSERVATION GUIDE

Touchpoints for Observation

Observe dye and particles splitting around a body, slowing near the pressure tint, and leaving a wake whose shape depends on speed, medium, angle, and body form.

Use Tank Flow and Diagram, compare Circle, Plate, Streamline, Wing, and Draw, change Dye Water, Smoke Stream, or Thick Fluid, drag or draw a body, and tune flow speed, size, angle, and wake gain.
The useful view is not a single score; compare dye trails, particles, pressure tint, and the wake together.
It sits near Flow Field Painter and Vortex Flow Mixer, but the subject is what becomes visible after a body interrupts a tank current.

This is a visual approximation for observing flow around a body in a tank. It is not an engineering CFD solver, wind-tunnel measurement, or aerodynamic design tool.
