 Ben Sheppard: 'In a Spin' |
| Ben Sheppard 'In a Spin' This long exposure photograph shows an experiment used to study the flows within tornadoes and whirlpools. A tank of water, placed on a rotating table, is spun up until the water is in solid-body rotation. Particles suspended within the water are then illuminated and tracked so that the velocity field within the fluid can be determined. |
