Turn your iPad/iPhone into a wind tunnel simulator !
Draw obstacles and watch the fluid flow around. Experiment with different sizes, shapes, aerodynamic profiles and see what happens !
Tap the blue button to bring application controls. Three segmented controls let you choose between:
• 4 touch actions: interact with the fluid, draw walls, insert smoke probe, use eraser tool.
• 4 visualization modes: particles, smoke, pressure field, velocity field.
• 2 simulation modes: wind tunnel (with adjustable wind speed), free mode (with no constrained wind).
If you are interested in more options, check out Wind Tunnel, the paid version of this app, with many more features!
New in version 1.5.1:
- updated for iOS 9
New in version 1.5:
- improved retina graphics
- new simulation engine for dual-core devices
- iPhone 5 support
- other graphic improvements
New in version 1.3:
- Much more accurate fluid simulation engine.
- Visualization of velocity field, with this color scheme : black (fluid at rest), blue, red, yellow (highest speed).
- New preset models (try "swirl" !).
- Ability to change smoke color : in "interact" touch action and "smoke" mode, double tap on the smoke source, at the top of the screen
- Fixed bugs on boundary conditions.
New in version 1.2:
- Added support for older iphones and ipod touch (armv6)
- Minor bug fixes
- Added models of the "Lite" version
Fluid motion is computed by solving Navier-Stokes equations, at high definition ( 23000 grid cells on ipad ) thanks to a well-optimized code taking the most out of CPU performance.
Thank you all for your great comments.

2012-04-01I love this app. I am 12 almost 13 and I am very interested in physics so this app was perfect! I am using this to make arow dimamic vehicles for my drawings.
2011-11-07I would really like to be able to -zoom in/out-have a wider area to work with ( such as you can move the screen to draw bigger)-get data from specific spots. These would be great features.
2011-10-14The application is fun and useful. It helps in the design of downhole conduits and ports to reduce friction in downhole gas separators that are used in oil and gas wells. Thanks for the update.
2011-08-30My father, a forty-year aeronautical engineer veteran, was uninterested in all things iPhone until I showed him this app.
2011-07-31A truly educational AND fun app! Brings to life the concepts of lift and drag. Totally impressed!
2011-07-31this thing is awesome. perhaps pro, lite, and normal needed to be marketed better, but this app is still very cool.
2011-03-18Amazing tool for demonstration of flow and aerodynamics of an airfoil
