An eel is subject to an oncoming laminar flow, in a custom
designed laminar water tunnel.

A giant danio swims up in a laminar flow (photo taken from
the side of the laminar flow tunnel).

An insulating floater (a model continent) is centered atop a thermal
convection cell. It inudces an upwelling flow underneath the floater.
The temperature field together with the flow field are visualized with
small liquid crystal beads that are evenly suspended in the fluid.

In the morning of June 8th (2004), Venus crossed the surface of the Sun. A few
students and professors from the Physics department were ready to observe the
event. Indeed, we saw them both. (Photo by: Dr. H. J. Kirschner)

High school student Jonathan Kamler tries to set up a siphon
of soap film. He was a senior at Harvard Univ. studying Physics.

Prof. Fernand Hayot (OSU) visits our lab here and asks
"Jun, what's today?"

Professor Greenspan (MIT), together with Steve Childress,
holds our first generation metallic flag during his visit.

Visualized from the short side of a flapping wing: the eddies are symmetric and attached to
the moving wing. No shedding of vortices is observed when the Reynolds number is small.

Professor Mike Shelley at Courant, Co-director of the
Applied Math Lab, talks to visitors.
