About this Simulation

This simulator models how pressure changes at different depths within a fluid. Learners can adjust fluid properties and observe real-time pressure variations, visualising the relationship between depth, density, and hydrostatic pressure. Interactive controls allow exploration of how particle size, fluid composition, and container dimensions affect pressure distribution.

Learning objectives: Understand how pressure increases with depth in fluids | Explore the relationship between density, gravity, and hydrostatic pressure | Apply pressure calculations in practical fluid mechanics scenarios
