Unreal Fluid Dynamics

Description

Unreal Fluid Dynamics is an online multijugador 3D environment built in Unreal Engine 5.5.4 for teaching fluid mechanics to Civil Engineering students at Avans University of Applied Sciences. Designed for the Water 2 course, it allows students to collaborate in groups using avatars to complete daily assignments within an interactive island world. Hosted on an Avans server, access requires downloading and installing a client from the official website, along with login credentials provided in advance. Non-students can explore the simulation using one of three guest accounts: guest1, guest2, or guest3. Regular updates ensure improved performance and bug fixes—current versión is 1.64 (released June 29, 2025). VR mode is now in beta; available via the options menu, though performance may not yet consistently reach 90 fps, potentially causing discomfort. The environment features ten experimental setups made of wooden beams, positioned across the island for group tasks, with cardinal directions oriented as north (up), south (down), west (left), and east (right).
