It’s so cool how practical this photo is and how you’re applying what you’ve learned
Awesome to see flow over an airfoil! I would be very interested in seeing your report, and what sort of analysis you performed on the fluid.
Nice work! The colors are subtle but add a lot to the image.
I like the shadow of the airfoil.
I like that you chose to go with the blue color, this image seems to be from a movie.
I think this image is a great demonstration of the dye sticking to the foil as it passes over it, and I like the transition from slightly turbulent before the leading edge, to big waves and swirls after it has passed over the wing.
I like that you went with a blue color scale, instead of just black and white. Like Prof. Koch said, it does look very Harry Potter like.
The blue overlay is quite beautiful, but it is difficult to tell whether it is “better” with the overlay without seeing the original.
Why did you use blue?
I really enjoyed this image because of how the air foil almost controls the flow. We often think of an airfoil as disrupting fluid flow but in this the “jagged” flow is almost organized better by the airfoil. Great job
I really like that you chose the blue color for your image. It adds a super interesting dimension to the image and it is really impactful!
The jagged path of the dye is a really neat effect that you can see throughout the flow
