Folding fabric at the Fashion Institute of the Philippines
by Aramloe
The photos above show cross-sections through the leading edge vortices on a highly swept delta wing at angle of attack. Flow in the photos is from the upper left to lower right. Notice how the vortices grow and develop waviness as they move downstream. When perturbations enter the vortex—for example, due to the shear between the vortex fluid and the freestream—some will grow and eventually cause a break down to turbulence, as in the lower picture.

Visualizing Prime Numbers
Jason Davies has created a way to visualize prime numbers as periodic curves (curves that repeat every n points). Wherever only two curves intersect (for 1 and the number), that’s a prime.
Play with the interactive, zoomable version here. Awesome stuff!
Math + Art = my favorite kind of beauty!
Jean Tinguely, who constructed wonderful machines that painted, whirred, clanged, groaned, and even committed machine suicide. See a wonderful short film here.

Asobi by Yasutoki Kariya
“Asobi” was created by art student Yasutoki Kariya for his senior thesis exhibition. Meaning “play,” the installation is comprised of 11 computer-programmed incandescent light bulbs hung from strings. They playfully re-enact Newton’s Cradle, visualizing the transfer of kinetic energy in the form of light. (via Spoon & Tamago)

Mark Nystrom’s Wind Drawings
Inspired by the simple sight of a leaf dancing across snow, American artist Mark Nystrom created his elegant Wind Drawings series in which a pen equipped with sails records one day’s wind conditions. Visual interpretations of wind and other invisible natural phenomena are always fascinating, and Nystrom’s drawings are no exception as they begin to characterize, even humanize the wind. While some drawings show clear patterns — implying a strong wind from a consistent direction — others are erratic and confused. One drawing from a very calm day only registers a tiny, barely visible, speck of movement.
You can look at more of Nystrom’s wind explorations and other projects at his website here.
