An eel is subject to an oncoming
laminar flow, in a custom designed
laminar water tunnel.
A giant danio swims up in a
laminar flow (photo taken from the side of the laminar flow
tunnel).
An insulating floater (a model
continent) is centered atop a thermal convection cell. It inudces
an upwelling flow underneath the floater. The temperature field
together with the flow field are visualized with small liquid
crystal beads that are evenly suspended in the fluid.
In the morning of June 8th (2004), Venus crossed the surface of the Sun. A few
students and professors from the Physics department were ready to observe the event. Indeed, we saw them both.

Visualized from the short side
of a flapping wing: the eddies are symmetric and attached to
the moving wing. No shedding of vortices is observed when the
Reynolds number is small.
