Hills and other topology can have interesting and complex effects on a flowfield. With the FAITH experiment, NASA has been investigating an axisymmetric model hill using a combination of experimental methods. The video above shows flow visualization over the hill in a water channel using dye injection both upstream and downstream of the model. They’ve also done wind tunnel tests with oil-flow visualization, particle-image velocimetry, pressure sensitive paint and other measurement techniques. There are nice photos of some of these by Rob Bulmahn. By combining qualitative and quantitative flow measurement techniques, the researchers are able to capture many different aspects of the flow, which can then be shared and compared with other groups’ works.

It’s Okay To Be Smart - Space Sounds
via jtotheizzoe:
There is no sound in space.
In the near-vacuum of space, there is nothing to transmit the physical waves that we need to perceive sound. But that doesn’t mean we can’t MAKE sound from space.
This week, I channeled some inner Sagan, got a bit artsy, and I’m happy to feature several brilliant folks using scientific data to create “space sonification” projects. From the longest palindrome ever created to a chorus made from Earth’s magnetic field, these pieces truly lie at the intersection of art and science. More than just art, they allow us to perceive patterns in complex data in a completely new way. Some of them are actually used as part of space research projects!
Perhaps it answers the question: If the universe had a voice, what song would it sing?
For those of you who follow the blog in addition to the YouTube channel, you’ll get some special treats this week when I feature even more space sonification examples that we couldn’t fit into this episode!
FULL Versions of the pieces featured in this week’s video:
Robert Alexander - Transit of Venus
Daniel Starr-Tambor - “Mandala” (this piece is the longest palndrome ever created, at 62 viginitillion notes!!)
