The flow of water in a cylindrical tank accelerated into solid body rotation on a record player illustrated by adding food dye to the tank as it was accelerated.

I thoroughly enjoyed the colors you used in this image. I think that the contrast between the warm white (almost yellowish) and the light blue works really well!
I’m curious how quickly the the food dye settled into the concentric circles. Would you be able to watch it happen real time? Does it happen too quickly to appreciate the formation? Does it take too long that watching it happen wouldn’t be too interesting?
I wonder why some of the dyed regions on the left side of the image appear a little darker than the dye on the right side of the image. Could it have been caused by asymmetric lighting? Could it have been influenced by the location where you dropped the dye in the container?
The lighting is my favorite part of this image. I really like the warm palette, and it really makes the color of the dye stand out. I also like that the dye formed into bands instead of just lines, makes the effect more visually pleasing.
I think it is really cool you were able to capture the effects of the centrifugal force with dye and water. I wonder what this would look like in a video.
I really like how the shape of your vessel used manifested in such a consistent pattern. It results in a really aesthetically pleasing final image.
