All simulation features are available immediately upon installation. Material properties are based on verified scientific data for educational accuracy.
Tower Floor calculates heat diffusion across two-dimensional plates using verified thermal property values. When you select a material like copper or glass, the simulation engine applies actual conductivity (W/m·K), heat capacity (MJ/m³·K), and diffusivity (mm²/s) measurements to predict how quickly thermal energy spreads.
The Ring Heater mode applies circular heat at one edge of your plate while sensors track temperature changes across the grid. Copper Bar mode uses a rectangular heating element from the left side, creating distinctly different diffusion patterns. You watch temperature curves rise and plateau in real time as the material reaches thermal equilibrium.
Each simulation run generates settling graphs that show how different materials respond to identical heating conditions. Blue lines trace the primary material's thermal journey while orange reference lines provide comparison data. Interactive drag markers let you read exact temperatures at any moment in the timeline from zero seconds to several minutes.
Tower Floor was developed by thermal physics educators focused on making abstract heat transfer concepts tangible through visual simulation. The app combines scientifically accurate material properties with interactive experimentation tools designed for students, engineers, and anyone curious about how different substances conduct thermal energy.
Overlay temperature curves from two separate runs on the same timeline. Watch how copper's steep thermal rise contrasts with glass's gradual warming pattern as both materials receive identical heat input over 4.3 minutes.
Browse verified thermal characteristics for ten substances including conductivity measurements, volumetric heat capacity, and calculated diffusivity. Filter by category: metals, minerals, insulators, or your custom material definitions.
Design complex multi-material plates by painting different substances onto your grid. Create steel fins embedded in concrete or simulate hot copper bars pressed against glass windows using the color-coded material palette.
Monitor how long each material takes to reach thermal equilibrium after heating begins. Copper bars settle in 1.1 minutes while glass panes may require several minutes to stabilize at final temperature.
Save every experimental configuration with descriptive names like "Ring Heater 48×48" or "Copper Bar Hot Left 32×32". Add notes explaining your hypothesis or observations for later review and classroom presentation.
Drag the vertical marker line across your temperature graph to read exact celsius measurements at any moment. See both experimental and reference temperatures update simultaneously as you scrub through the simulation timeline.
