Wave 111 arrives with the widest disciplinary spread of any release this year. From the way sound pressure waves radiate through a medium to the nanoscale forces that trap living cells in focused laser beams, this wave covers ten phenomena that share one feature: they are far easier to grasp when you can interact with them directly than when you read equations on a static page.
The 10 New Simulations
Content Update: 100 UK Sections, 10 Articles, 5 Blog Posts
Alongside the new simulations, Wave 111 ships the 100c content batch: 100 new UK-focused content sections added to existing simulation pages. These sections provide localised context — UK university curricula references, A-level and GCSE connections, UK research institution links, and worked examples using SI units and UK conventions. The batch spans every major simulation category from mechanics to quantum physics.
The wave also includes 10 new deep-dive articles in the Learning section, covering topics from quantum harmonic oscillator energy levels (with Hermite polynomial derivations) to the fluid dynamics of sound propagation and the statistical mechanics of epidemic spreading on networks. Each article is paired with its simulation and cross-linked to related content.
Five new blog posts accompany this wave: this devlog, a teacher guide on using browser simulations in class, a quantum mechanics simulation guide, and two further posts exploring the science behind specific simulations. All five are indexed in the blog archive.
Milestone context: Wave 111 is the 111th simulation release on mysimulator.uk. The platform now hosts over 1,100 interactive simulations covering physics, mathematics, biology, chemistry, computer science, and earth sciences — all running in the browser with no installation required.
What Comes Next
Wave 112 planning is under way. Current targets include magnetohydrodynamics, topological defects in liquid crystals, Turing pattern formation with adjustable reaction-diffusion parameters, and a revisit of the double pendulum with Lyapunov exponent computation. The Ukrainian language layer continues to expand in parallel, with translations for all Wave 111 simulations queued.
All ten Wave 111 simulations are live now at mysimulator.uk. If you spot an issue or have a suggestion for a simulation you would like to see, the contact page is always open.
