Best of the Web Flapping foil in a hydrodynamic tunnel: asymmetric vortex shedding

Although the purpose of the video is scientific, I find the movement of the dye incredibly beautiful and hypnotic. The high contrast makes the flow easily visible.  I appreciate how the creator has included two different frequencies of this experiment because comparing the two  creates a better visual understanding of the physics behind the vortexes created by the flapping foil.
