Dynamical Systems Simulator

Integrate classic ODE and PDE systems in real time — chaos, epidemics, oscillators, ecosystems, and Turing patterns — and see how parameters reshape the dynamics.

Dynamics — Lorenz AttractorLive

Controls

A three-variable system of ODEs whose solutions form the iconic butterfly-shaped strange attractor — a textbook example of deterministic chaos.

How it works

Ordinary differential equations are integrated with a fixed-step fourth-order Runge–Kutta (RK4) scheme; the Gray–Scott reaction–diffusion system uses an explicit finite-difference Laplacian on a periodic grid. Each system exposes its real parameters, so you can drive a pendulum into chaos, tune an epidemic's R₀, or move Gray–Scott between spots, stripes, and mazes.

Frequently asked questions

Is this dynamical systems simulation tool really free?
Yes. Dynamical Systems Simulator runs entirely in your browser using your device's own compute, so local use is free forever. You only pay Compute Tokens if you scale a job to the cloud.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs client-side in a modern browser — no downloads, no license, no account required to start.
Can I save or share my simulation?
Create a free account to save projects, and use a shareable embed or minted DOI to publish a live, interactive version anywhere.
How accurate are the results?
The solver uses established numerical methods, but results are for research and educational purposes and should be validated against experiment or professional review before you rely on them.
