Whether one is observing vortex streets, the potential flow around an airfoil or body, shock refraction or diffraction, or waves breaking on a beach the aesthetic appeal of fluid mechanics is impossible to deny. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Because of this visual appeal of all things fluid, many people have generated Fluid Flow Galleries; this is my version of the genre. The approach here is to include images and pictures from a very wide variety of areas and to add short explanations and discussions of the physics. This is in keeping with my general view that the pictures are not only pretty, but they are an excellent opportunity to learn something about the frequently invisible world of physics. <p> To get started, just click on the general categories listed below, sit back and enjoy the ride. <p> <center> | <a href="./aurora/aur_gall.htm"> | <br> | <a href="dummy.htm" >Dense Gases</a> | <a href="./shocks/shock.htm" >Shock Waves</a> | <br> | <a href="./ss_cars/sscars.htm" >Supersonic Cars</a> | <a href="dummy.htm" >Transonic Flows</a> | <br> | <a href="./vortex/vortex.htm" >Vortex Flows</a> | <a href="dummy.htm" >Waves</a> | <br> | <a href="dummy.htm" >Miscellaneous</a> | </center> <p> If you have any suggestions for other images drop me a note at the contact link at the left.
