    Just a curious question about the aerodynamic simulation of tpt:

     

    How realistic is it?

    The basics of it are realistic with how the pressure interacts, but I doubt it's scaled realistically.

    An air pulse cannot move faster than 4 blocks per frame, other than that the math behind the simulation is pretty solid.

    You could use it for very simple things like CO2 model cars and maybe some miniature glider wing design to get the general idea. I wouldn't use it for anything like actual aircraft or large scale (SolidWorks does this best).
