Fun and Educational

This app allows you to draw objects in a virtual wind tunnel so that you can visualize how it will perform when it hits a moving fluid (like air). Whether you want to see how the water is moving behind the rocks in the stream out back or you want to see what happens in that calm spot behind the semi barreling down the freeway, this app can give you those insights. The ability to place smoke sources just about anywhere along or around your object lets you really zero in on the area of interest and highlight the activity there.

What keeps Wind Tunnel from being five star (IMHO) is the rudimentary drawing system. You can draw any line you want as long as its fat and freehand. The addition of a straight-line tool and some curves would go a long way as would allowing various line thickness. With what is currently available youll find it challenging to create any object that doesnt resemble pre-school "art work". And while I realize that you wont be using this app to test the next super-airliner, it would be nice to be able to draw a model that could differentiate between a dump truck and a Tonka pull-behind.

This is a good program...and more than slightly awesome to have running on my phone...and with some minor updates it could be a great program.
