Vortex Ring (Smoke Ring)
Self-propelling toroidal vortex shown as a 2D cross-section: counter-rotating Lamb–Oseen pair drifts at V_self ≈ Γ/(4πa).
Rayleigh–Taylor Instability
Heavy fluid above light: Fourier modes grow as exp(σt) with σ = √(A g k); mushrooming fingers reach down.
Faraday Waves
Vertical parametric drive of a thin liquid layer: Mathieu sub-harmonic instability locks stripes, squares or hexagons.
Airfoil Streamlines (Joukowski)
Potential flow over a Joukowski airfoil: stream-function bands with the Kutta condition fixing circulation.
Projectile Motion
Launch projectiles with adjustable angle, velocity, and gravity. Trace parabolic paths with real-time graphs.
Trebuchet
Counterweight-driven beam: torque launches a projectile at a chosen release angle. Explore range vs masses and arm lengths.
