This web-based simulation demonstrates the evolution of a two-dimensional vortex system without viscosity. Users can place positive (clockwise) and negative (counterclockwise) vortices within a field and observe how they interact and move according to the velocity field they create. The simulation is based on classical fluid dynamics principles and allows real-time manipulation of the system.
2D Vortex Dynamics sits in PulseGate's Entertainment & Media category. It focuses on understanding and visualizing the behavior of interacting vortices in a 2D fluid system. It is built as a consumer product for physics enthusiasts and students. 2D Vortex Dynamics costs nothing to use. It runs on the web.
Lee Phillips builds and maintains 2D Vortex Dynamics, and it first shipped in 2012. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 687 stars and 72 commits in the last 90 days. Among its 4 catalogued features are Interactive Simulation, Vortex Placement, and Real-time Physics.
