…explore the effects of installing pollution control devices, such as scrubbers and catalytic converters, on power plants and cars. Students monitor the level of primary pollutants (brown line) and secondary…
…be used to create some cool effects that demonstrate the ideas more clearly, providing complementary experiences to hands-on learning. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation to support…
…clean enough to breathe? Explore the sources and flow of pollutants through the atmosphere. Students use models to run experiments, testing the effects of wind, rain, solar radiation and geography…
…in order to model effects such as electrorheological fluids (fluids whose viscosity changes with respect to an applied electric field). We wish all Energy2D users a very successful new year!…
…entertainment industry, unconditionally stable solvers for creating visual fluid effects (e.g., flow, smoke, or fire) in games and movies were popularized by Jos Stam’s 1999 paper “Stable Fluids.” Figure 1:…
…are widely spread out over the seabed of our planet, being concentrated mainly along mid-ocean ridges. Due to the depths where this volcanic activity occurs, monitoring submarine volcanic eruptions is…
…conventional instruction, however. Hence, it is likely that the positive effects of using CAD software in K-12 engineering education will outweigh the negative effects, letting alone that students will learn…
…is not just something that is nice to have. If computer simulations are to rival real experiments, it must produce not only the expected effects but also the unexpected side…
…melting ought to have caught the attention of people everywhere. Earth’s population will be in for a rougher ride than expected – and climate scientists have been predicting a rough…
…come from mechanical energy (e.g., “the tires on my bike get hot when I ride fast” or “I can warm my hands by rubbing them together”). Although temperature and heat…
