A selection of the winners of the annual DFD/APS competition for outstanding images of fluid flow are collected here. Each image is accompanied by some explanatory text, aimed at making the Gallery an attractive and essential work for all those interested in the art and science of fluid flow.
The visualization of fluid flow has played a major role in the development of fluid dynamics and its applications, from the evolution of flight to tracking weather, and understanding the flow of blood. The Fluid Dynamics Division of the American Physical Society sponsors an annual competition for outstanding images of fluid flow. This volume includes a selection of winners from 1985 to the present. Each image is accompanied by some explanatory text, making the volume an important acquisition for anyone involved in fluid flow research.
