AdvectionSim

This page shows a few of the options now available for AdvectionSim.

Some features are:

Guessing of the final temperature is allowed with a running total of the number of correct guesses in a row.
Values for the spacing, direction, speed, etc. can be randomly selected by the computer.
Some of the settings for speed, direction, duration, etc. can be specified as constant while others are randomly selected.

The applets may fail to appear initially in some browsers. It may be necessary to click on the "run" button.

The first applet lets you vary all the parameters.

The second applet has the gradient set to medium, duration set to 4 hours, wind speed set to 25, and randomly selects the direction for you. It also allows the user to guess the final Ames temperature.

The third applet randomly selects all the variables and allows the user to guess the final Ames temperature.

The fourth applet randomly selects all the variables and doesn't have the guessing.

The fifth applet randomly selects all the variables, doesn't have the guessing, and shows the formula.

The sixth applet lets you select all the variables, allows the user to guess the final temperature, and shows the formula.
