Flow Visualization
Description:
The idea of this project was to better visualize flow. I used a paper
towel roll, one balloon, a funnel, some water colors, tape, several sheets
of paper, and wax paper to create a "poor man's wind tunnel." It took
several attempts to get my paint to move because the paper would always
absorb the paint by the time I got the wind blowing. After many failures
I came up with the idea of placing paint on wax paper and then blowing it
onto the paper. My first attempt worked great, the attempts that followed
weren't as successful. I think I put too much water in those mixtures of
paint or something to that effect.
