A modular, interactive simulation platform built with Streamlit for exploring core concepts across multiple domains of physics.
Designed to bridge analytical theory, numerical modelling, and physical intuition through real-time visualisation.
The Interactive Physics Lab is structured as a multi-domain computational environment, enabling users to experiment with physical systems through parameter-driven simulations.
Rather than isolated demos, the project is organised as a scalable framework where each module represents a distinct area of physics, unified under a consistent interface and simulation logic.
Real-time projectile motion simulation showing simultaneous trajectories under varying initial conditions, with time evolution control and dynamic visualisation.
- Projectile Motion Explorer
- Oscillatory Systems (in development)
- Electric Field & Equipotential Visualizer
- Lorentz Force Simulation (planned)
- Radioactive Decay & Nuclear Transformation (in development)
- Energy Level Transitions & Photon Emission (in development)
- Quantum Interference & Double-Slit Simulation (planned)
- Particle Transport in Fluid Flow (experimental module)
- Real-time simulation engine with play/pause control
- Interactive parameter space exploration via sliders and controls
- Dynamic visualisation:
- Trajectories
- Field maps (heatmaps, field lines)
- Time evolution of systems
- Quantitative outputs:
- Derived physical quantities (e.g. range, energy, field strength)
- Probe-based local measurements
- Modular architecture for extending simulations across domains
This project is developed with two complementary goals:
- Provides an interactive environment for students to build intuition beyond static equations
- Links mathematical expressions directly to visual outcomes
- Encourages exploratory learning through parameter manipulation
- Acts as a testbed for numerical modelling of physical systems
- Supports extension into more advanced simulations (e.g. coupled systems, quantum models)
- Reflects a broader interest in computational physics, simulation design, and scientific visualisation
