Color dance – Visualizing Flow
Our colleague Pete Stevens introduced Rob Blackstock to us. Rob is a former MIT professor with a background in fluid dynamics. He showed us how to visualize any type of fluid flow in a dramatic way. He is using a special tracer fluid that works with polarized light (the effect is called streaming birefringence).
Since not many of us were here during Rob’s visit, I got him to do a short show and tell and video taped it. Rob is interested in working with us, his web page: www.laminarsciences.com
- Enjoy & many thanks to Pete for bringing him in!
