3D Field Flow is an exploration of invisible space, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and dynamical systems. While the space around us may seem empty, it is actually governed by the laws of physics and thermodynamics, revealing fascinating behaviors when simulated and visualized in 3D.

This project aims to make the invisible visible by using a 3D vector field to simulate the movement within a virtual cube of empty space. The flow inside this space becomes perceptible through a particle system that visualizes the continuously changing air velocity values within the diffusing 3D field. The interactive installation allows users to “brush” the virtual field, enabling them to directly manipulate and influence the invisible space. The particle system acts as a visual medium, making the viewer’s presence and impact on the space tangible.
