🛰️ Microgravity Melt Processing: 2D Cross-Section

Interactive 2D slice of a particle-laden metallic melt in a heated ampoule: drag the heater band or individual particles while gravity runs from 3 g down to 1 micro-g, and watch Stokes sedimentation, buoyancy-driven convection and Marangoni flow compete, with a live concentration profile and segregation graph.
