We posted a new web lab with a simulation of dynamic diffusion and reaction in a porous, solid catalyst layer.

This our first web lab with multiple plots: two strip charts showing time history, and two profile charts showing time-varying concentration profiles in the catalyst layer. The way we handle data for these plots is different than we do in Lab 1, which has one strip chart plot. Our code structure continues to be under development.

Web Labs are a new name for our Web app experiments. We moved the link to the Web Labs out of Resources to the top menu bar. One reason is the we are getting more interested in HTML5 for interactive simulations. We initially developed the new lab with LiveCode but found its speed too slow to handle solution of the partial differential equations. Javascript was much faster for this application.
