WindCanvas puts airflow in a browser
A browser-based 2D and 3D airflow simulator lets users sketch shapes or import images and models, then inspect the flow and its measurements.
- For
- Students, makers, STEM teams, and design reviewers
- Worth noticing
- The homepage lists comparisons for cylinder drag, NACA 0012 lift, and sphere drag against textbook or published reference values.
Field notes
The homepage describes a browser build that runs simulations on the visitor’s graphics chip, with nothing uploaded and no sign-up. Users can choose among 79 built-in shapes or draw or import geometry, then inspect speed, pressure, vorticity, and force-related measures; licensed imports include common CAD and mesh formats. The page lists comparisons against textbook or published reference values, while its accuracy material and per-result fidelity grades treat reliability as something to qualify rather than assume.
