Wind tunnel (3D)

About this app

Lift made visible: smoke streamlines flow around an airfoil profile (exact Joukowski potential flow). Above the wing they crowd together — the air speeds up, the pressure drops (Bernoulli). Adjust the angle of attack up to stall, with lift coefficient and lift arrow live.
