    This is super interesting! I am not entirely sure what I’m looking at but in my book that makes the picture much more interesting! Super well done!

    Very interesting way of capturing this phenomenon and a great choice of color! I think the video is very well-edited too

    Hi, Jess! As mentioned during the critique, I think the lighting here is great because it highlights the flecks of aluminum in the fluid and shows the spiral-like movement well. Compositionally, it’s also aesthetically pleasing because of the lines, near symmetry, and movement.

    Very cool flow that you were able to create. I think the metal particles that were suspended in the fluid made for great visualization because the shear planes were visible. Impressive experiment.
