  • A spinning golf ball is flow tested in a two dimensional fluid flow. The colors relate to different pressures in the fluid. In this case the low-pressure area created by the Magnus effect contributes to the flight of the golf ball by creating lift. The rotating golf ball lift allows the ball to travel further. A high-speed flash at 1/15,000th of a second captures the action.

  • .The unique fishbone pattern is created by two colliding steams of liquids.  Each stream or jet is created by a 1mm diameter nozzle.  This image if from a series of images where the velocity of the fluid jet is varied from .8 to 3 meters per second.  This pattern is currently the focus of scientists studying the strange world of fluid dynamics.  The pattern is a stable flow state that is a balance of surface tension,  viscosity, momentum, and gravity.  The fluid used in this experiment is 90% glycerol  and 10% water solution with a viscosity of 20cS.   This image was taken with a high speed flash at 1/40,000th of a second at at a magnification of 1x.  This pattern cal also be called the fish effect, herringbone effect, or the fishbone effect.

  • An electrical spark created when a sheet pf photographic film is placed between two high voltage electrodes. Initially, the film builds up a charge on the surface and acts like as a capacitor. At a certain potential voltage the film, which is a dielectric material, breaks down and allows electrons to flow. The flowing electrons superheat the air resulting in an electrical spark which is recorded in the film emulsion. These are often called Lichtenberg Figures after the German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, who originally discovered and studied them.

  • An electrical spark created when a sheet pf photographic film is placed between two high voltage electrodes. Initially, the film builds up a charge on the surface and acts like as a capacitor. At a certain potential voltage the film, which is a dielectric material, breaks down and allows electrons to flow. The flowing electrons superheat the air resulting in an electrical spark which is recorded in the film emulsion. These are often called Lichtenberg Figures after the German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, who originally discovered and studied them.

  • This image of an electrical discharge was made by placing a block of Lucite in the 6 megavolt (6Mv) electron beam of a linear accelerator. The Lucite gained a tremendous electrical charge when a grounded electrode was placed near it. The current flowing to ground melted the Lucite, leaving a record of the current flow. This fern-like fractal structure is quite common in electricity.

  • A Thermogram of an injured hand.  Note the colder temperature of the index finger.  The top part of the finger was lost in an accident.  The lack of blood flow in the finger results in a lower temperature.  The different colors represent different temperatures on the object. The lightest colors are the hottest temperatures, while the darker colors represent a cooler temperature.  Thermography uses special cameras that can detect light in the far-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (900?14,000 nanometers or 0.9?14 µm) and creates an  image of the objects temperature..

  • Thin film interference on soap film. Bands of color are created by white light shining on a film of soap. Some of the light reflects off the surface of the film, while the rest of the light travels through the film and reflects off the back of the film. The colors are caused by light waves interfering with each other in a process called optical interference. The different colors are caused by different thickness of the soap film.

  • The patterns in smoke are studied by illuminating the smoke with a scanning laser. The laser shows the motion in a 2D plain that is easier to study than the 3D motion. The coils represent cross section of fluid vortexes created by the convection currents from the hot smoke rising in the cool air. The source of the smoke is a stick of burning incense.
