This week, researchers studying the physics of fluids will meet in Phoenix for the 74th Annual Meeting of the Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD). A highlight of the annual DFD meeting since 1987, the Gallery of Fluid Motion illustrates the science—and very often also the beauty—of fluid motion.
A panel will select outstanding entries based on artistic value, scientific content, and originality. The winning entries will be published next year as a special supplement to Physical Review Fluids (see the just-published collection from last year’s Gallery). In addition, the top three winners in each category will be presented the Milton Van Dyke Award, consisting of a small monetary prize, a copy of the Album of Fluid Motion, and an award certificate.
Posters and videos will be on display in the Exhibit Hall during the Afternoon Refreshment Break on Monday, November 22, when the award-winning entries will be announced. Browse some of this year’s entries below:
