OBSERVATION CHAMBER / MVP
Run a D2Q9 LBM wake experiment with a cylinder you can position while paused, then keep fixed during target runs for computed diagnostics.
D2Q9 LBM / CYLINDER WAKE
Run a lattice Boltzmann solver with a cylinder you can position while paused, then keep fixed during target runs.SYSTEM NOTE
The cylinder position can be adjusted while paused. During a target run it stays fixed so the wake metrics from D2Q9 LBM / BGK steps, sponge outlet, wall boundaries, and computed vorticity stay meaningful.
OBSERVATION POINTS
D2Q9 LBM stores f0..f8 distributions and uses BGK relaxation toward equilibrium. nu = (tau - 0.5) / 3, Re = U D / nu, and vorticity is omega = dv/dx - du/dy. The cylinder uses bounce-back cells; its position can be adjusted while paused, then kept fixed during target runs with a left inlet, sponge outlet, and no-slip wall rows. Sign alternation count, first alternation step, oscillation amplitude, density drift, and finite status are diagnostic values from the computed field.
OBSERVATION GUIDE
Observe a cylinder wake candidate developing from a D2Q9 LBM / BGK solver, then compare speed, vorticity, density drift, and sign alternation metrics.
This is a lightweight browser numerical experiment for observing a Karman vortex street candidate. It is not a formal CFD solver, engineering design tool, wind-tunnel measurement, or proof that every condition produces a vortex street.
