WWAVETANKCOMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS LAB

EIGHT PHYSICS INSTRUMENTS

Interactive models
for computational physics.

Alter a physical system, inspect live measurements, and understand the numerical model producing them.

WAVE FIELD

Wave propagation

Change a pressure field and study interference, diffraction, and resonance.
