Food-dyes show the disturbances caused by dropping various objects through a glycerin-water solution. This moment depicts a teardrop shape and blue food-dye floating back to the surface due to differences in density.

Hi Xeen,
I think it’s very interesting that there’s multiple layers of disturbances here, the layer closer to the teardrop and the layer a bit further out near the center of the screen. I am curious what orientation you dropped this in?
I really like the effect that you gained from including the warped glass to the left hand side and the blue dye rising near the middle. It kinda gives a bit of a “bubble” effect around the 3d printed teardrop shape and give lots of texture and depth to the image!
Cool image! The colors here are interesting, I think you get a good sense of the flow direction from the kind of “comet’s tail” coming from the rising blue water droplets
Fascinating picture Xeen! I like the transparency of the 3D printed teardrop. I wonder what its refractive index was compared to water or the surrounding fluid.
I like the geometry of the almost perfect circles that ended up in this image – it’s very appealing to the eye.
