🎬Core Scientific Laws and Thermodynamic Properties Illustrated Through Dynamic Visualization

All demos collectively illustrate fundamental laws across physics and engineering, starting with mechanics, where the dynamic visualisation of a two-body collision confirms that the law of conservation of momentum is a direct consequence of Newton’s third law, ensuring total momentum is preserved because the net internal force is zero.

In fluid dynamics, the continuity principle in one-dimensional steady flow is demonstrated by showing that as water accelerates under gravity and its velocity increases, the stream's cross-sectional area and linear density must decrease to maintain a constant mass flow rate, explaining the narrowing of a falling stream.

Relatedly, in transport phenomena, the change in local concentration is mathematically accounted for by balancing two distinct effects: convective transport across boundaries and the internal generation or destruction of the material, with concentration decreasing faster when positive divergence and the internal sync term work together. Electromagnetism concepts are also visualized: the vector flux crossing a surface is shown to be determined exclusively by the component of the current density vector that is perpendicular to the surface, and the fundamental behavior of conductors is confirmed by showing that any net electrical charge introduced inside the material must dissipate instantaneously and move to the surface due to the extremely short charge relaxation time characteristic of highly conductive metals.

Lastly, in thermodynamics, the visualization distinguishes properties by showing that intensive properties remain constant regardless of the system’s volume, while extensive properties increase linearly in direct proportion to the size of the system.
