2012 Image Gallery
The Division of Fluid Dynamics exists for the advancement and diffusion of knowledge of the physics of fluids with special emphasis on the dynamical theories of the liquid, plastic and gaseous states of matter under all conditions of temperature and pressure. Every year, the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics hosts a physical Gallery of Fluid Motion at its annual meeting — a room where stunning graphics and videos from computational or experimental studies showing flow phenomena are displayed.
A panel of referees selects the most outstanding entries based on artistic content, originality, and their ability to convey information. The 65th Annual Meeting Image Gallery archives a subset of these images and videos on the APS DFD website. Outstanding entries are honored during the Meeting, placed on display at the Annual APS 2013 March Meeting, and published in the annual "Gallery of Fluid Motion" in the September 2013 issue of the American Institute of Physics' journal, Physics of Fluids. Past winners are also published in the Physics of Fluids.
In conjunction with the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society (APS) Division of Fluid Dynamics (November 18-20, 2012, San Diego, California), a subset of these images and videos is archived on the APS DFD website.
