Focused 2D response at the current effective pressure, with transition and probe markers.
2D slice at current N
3D regime surface ready
Fallback mode
Interactive 3D surface unavailable in this browser.
The main stage falls back to a fully interactive 2D slice, so the transition velocity, probe marker, and regime interpretation remain available without the blank WebGL failure state.

Regime Snapshot
The current probe state, the active preset, and a concise physical interpretation.
Transition regime
Governing equation
\( \tau_b = C N \left( \frac{u_b}{C^n N^n A_s + u_b} \right)^{1/n} \)
Current interpretation
The probe sits close to the transition threshold, where the law departs from purely viscous drag
but has not yet fully saturated at the Coulomb limit.
Transition velocity
300 m/yr
Coulomb limit
0.500 MPa
Probe velocity
300 m/yr
Probe shear stress
0.397 MPa
