How does a scuba diver control whether they sink or float? Scholars observe the relationship between absolute pressure and depth below the surface in an undersea simulation. They control the diver size and depth to center of mass to...

Explore pressure in the atmosphere and underwater. Reshape a pipe to see how it changes fluid flow speed. Experiment with a leaky water tower to see how the height and water level determine the water trajectory. Java required.

Students studying pressure will better understand its concepts with this virtual experiment that tests how pressure changes in air and water as the fluids, gravity, container shape, and volume changes.
