News — SEATTLE, December 2, 2019 -- Tears stream down your face. A beer flows down the side of a pint glass. Fluid mechanics is central to understanding the world around us.

The beauty of fluid motion was on display last week in Seattle, Washington, where more than 3,000 scientists gathered for the 72nd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics.

Created in 1987, the (GFM) is the premier visual record of contemporary fluid mechanics. Each year, an esteemed panel evaluates dozens of videos and posters for their combination of striking visual qualities and scientific interest.

“Since its inception, the Gallery has been a highlight of the annual meeting of the Division of Fluid Dynamics, and is a highly competitive venue to display striking novel phenomena or revisit older problems with a fresh perspective, often revealing new and compelling presentations at the intersection of art and science,” said GFM coordinator Ken Kiger, Keystone Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland.

Flows produced by drops, jets and splashes are consistently ranked highly. Bubbles, capillary flows, vortices, and turbulence have also scored wins over the years. The highest-scoring entries in each category are designated as Milton van Dyke Awardees. Additional submissions are chosen as Gallery Winners. The winning entries from the 2019 Gallery of Fluid motion are listed below.
