Compressible Aerodynamics Calculator - Computes the standard relations for compressible flow of a perfect gas. Isentropic flow relations, normal shock relations, and oblique shock relations can be calculated.
Experiments with smoke inside a plexiglass box challenge convectional wisdom. Smoke can unexpectedly act heavier than air and then spontaneously reverse.
The site demonstrates a method of flow visualisation by using an optically active liquid. The advantages of the method and some example applications are described.
Integrates the vector Navier-Stokes equation to obtain a vector form of Bernoulli's law. Provides interpretation and a mathematical basis for doing calculations.
