Flow Field Particles
This interactive simulator explores Flow Field Particles in Math Visualization. Synthetic v(x,y,t); advection with wrap; optional arrow grid. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Suited to beginners and first exposure to the topic. Typical context: Math Visualization.

How it works
When you want Perlin curls without a noise dependency: sines and cosines already give vortices and shear on a torus.
