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.
I’m not sure if this is original author, but I’m glad the app is back. I’ve been looking for a Winter application for sometime. I can’t never seem to find hood wind tunnel applications. There was one originally made for the iPad five or six years ago and it stopped working. Glad this app is back. Hope he continues to add more continuity and options. Thank you. If you continue the development and wish to charge for it, I’d gladly pay it.
Great but add the paid features

I cannot purchase the paid version in the US because it says the app isn’t applicable in my region. A coworker was able to get it on their device years ago and it works flawlessly. Can either the paid version be opened up for the US based customers or can you put the paid content into this app as an in app purchase?
Do a few changes.

This is a cool app but unlike the paid version of wind tunnel, there is an option to change the angle of attack of the shape you draw like an airfoil but this free version doesn’t have that please add an option for changing the angle of the drawn shape
Paid Version not Available?!?!?!

Would LOVE to get the paid version!!! Tons of useful features are missing otherwise.
This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.
-- Updated for iOS 9
News:
-- Explore the wave nature of light in our new electromagnetic simulation app LightWave Studio!
-- Perform quantitative fluid analysis (Reynolds number, speed and viscosity units) in a refined simulation engine (second order advection, immersed boundary method) in our new Wind Tunnel CFD app developed in partnership with Numeca!
--This original Wind Tunnel app, now five years old, becomes free! More information at www.algorizk.com/windtunnel.
