Description

Wind Tunnel Simulation is an educational app designed for anyone interested in learning about aerodynamics. Whether you’re new to the concepts of lift and drag or curious about airflow, this app provides a simple way to see how air moves around objects.

Key Features:
- Flow Simulation: Observe airflow around 2D shapes at low Reynolds Numbers, illustrating basic airflow concepts.
- Aerofoil Customization: Adjust parameters like camber, thickness, and angle of attack to see how shape affects airflow.
- Force Visualization: View the distribution of forces like lift and drag across shapes to gain insight into aerodynamic principles.

Wind Tunnel Simulation offers a practical introduction to aerodynamics through simulations and visuals. Solver accuracy will continue to be evaluated and improved over time.

Should be taken down. Does not work

I wish I had seen the reviews previous to paying for this app. It crashes every time. Does not work at all.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the app crashing. I understand how frustrating this can be. I believe you may have encountered one of the rare crash loop scenarios that will be addressed in Version 2, which is coming soon. I apologize for the delay in this update.

In the meantime, please reach out to me at support@thewtsapp.com. I will do my best to help resolve the issue temporarily before the more permanent fix is available. I really appreciate your patience and understanding.

Hope it gets fixed!

Thought this could be a great instruction tool but it crashes immediately when attempting to open. Please fix and I’ll update my review! On iPad mini 6th gen. Thanks!

Developer Response ,

I deeply apologize for the negative experience you had with the app. I understand that the app is crashing upon launch on certain models of iPad. Unfortunately, the crash logs didn't provide me with useful information to identify the cause. I will need to obtain similar units to conduct further investigation. I hope to find a solution as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and support.

Great app especially as a flight instructor, though I do have a few suggestions.

An easier way to manipulate the airflow or particles or whatever we are using, specifically to be able to speed it up.

Maybe a simplified control? That’s literally my only complaint. I like that I can have multiple objects as well as manipulate them independently or as a group! It also shows me more advanced information that doesn’t make sense to a student but makes sense to me. I can place the sensor in different areas of the object which is amazing! I can show a student how lift changes as speed, or AoA changes, or anything else.

Idk if it’s a bug, but at the moment, the airflow is really slow and when I increase the inlet speed, the app crashes above 3.0. Please help!!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your detailed feedback. I'm thrilled to hear that you and your students are finding the app useful.

Regarding the flow speed, my current fluid solver easily encounters instability at higher speeds. As a result, the app can only simulate relatively low Reynolds Number conditions. However, I am actively working on improving the system. Maintaining stability and accuracy at high speeds is indeed a challenge. The animation may be a bit slow, but I have increased its speed for the upcoming update. Please keep an eye out for the new builds. If you encounter any other issues, feel free to contact me at thewtsapp@outlook.com.
