Mobile App Development for the Three-Dimensional Wind Field (3DWF) Model on Android and Windows Platforms

Abstract

The Three-Dimensional Wind Field (3DWF) model developed by the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is based on the mass conservation principle and produces a high-resolution wind field over complex terrain. Although its practical graphical user interface (GUI) has already been developed to simplify the use of 3DWF, it is only available on a Windows desktop computer. To expand the 3DWF models usefulness on different operating systems and utilize the convenience of handheld mobile devices such as Samsungs Galaxy tablet and Microsofts Surface tablet, two different Android and Windows apps have been created and deployed for those two tablets, respectively. This technical report documents collaborative efforts between ARL and the Institute of Human and Machine Cognition to design a 3DWF app for the Galaxy tablet. In addition, processes to migrate the previously designed 3DWF GUI from a Windows desktop to a Windows tablet to implement a 3DWF app on the Surface tablet are also described.
