Turbulence!
Added 2018-11-08 18:45:28 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
This latest project was part of a collaboration with Dianna Cowern, aka "Physics Girl", whose associated video you can find here.
As mentioned in the video, this all started out as an exploration of Vortex Rings, which is something Dianna covers more on the video she did, but I got caught up in how one of the methods we used for visualizing a cross section of these rings is actually an extremely nice illustration of ambient turbulent flow. For example, it makes the existence of many eddies abundantly clear.
I thought this made for a nice chance to talk about the math of turbulence, and one particular fact I think is mind-blowing about how predictably the energy is distributed across different length scales.
While it's a bit different for me to have the core visuals be live action shots instead of programatic animations, these visuals are so surreal that they almost look more like a computer simulation than real life.
I hope you enjoy!

Nice

2018-12-14 18:48:43 +0000 UTCYes of course! It's addressed in the description. And pinned comment. And a card. When narrating I think I made the classic 1900s 19th century flub.

2018-11-09 19:28:45 +0000 UTCAnd the last 3D animation too! :)
2018-11-09 05:40:41 +0000 UTCLove it Grant, especially the 2D turbulence animation. That was awesome!
2018-11-09 05:39:00 +0000 UTCI have every reason to believe that Grant is getting more collaboration opportunities now because he's a cutie
