I love the visualization technique used, its very creative and works perfectly for this application. I would’ve loved to have seen a tighter crop that excluded some of the background. It looks like a lavalamp
Very nice image! I think some adjustment could be made to the framing, but overall quite nice. Beautiful color and nice explination
I like the plume in the middle of the container.
The vertical column really demonstrates the paradox and I like the amount of contrast you have in the image.
The effect of the tea leaf paradox is much more apparent here than in my small-jar trial with baby oil. I think we should try this again with mineral sprits in a bigger container and see if we can get some cool results.
Looks really cool, reminds me of an alien lab experiment or something growing from a test tube. Nice job capturing the vortex in the center!
I like how chaotic looking or turbulent the flow is which I think shows more of the physics behind the phenomenon. The vortex was a very cool touch to the aesthetics of the photo.
Looks like a volcano eruption, I like the colors and funnel shape formed by the oil.
