⚙️ Open, Limited-Slip and Locked Differentials on Split-Grip Ground (2D)
Top view of a rear-wheel-drive car with different grip under the left and right wheels, a cutaway of the differential and bars for wheel torque and tyre force. Choose the grip of each side, the engine torque and the differential type from open to locked, and watch the weaker wheel spin while the other one waits, or the thrust return as locking increases. Plots show steady thrust against weak-wheel grip and engine torque, the wheel speeds and the cornering speed ratio. Four in-page numerical checks.
