Laboratory Observations of Turbulence Over 3d Dunes

X-Z Plane Animations

Animations of planar slices through the flow field were created from nearly 3000 individual TIFF frames and may be accessed from the field of choices below. All animations were rendered on a Macintosh "beige" G3/300 using QuickTime Pro 5.0, at 6 fps using the Sorenson3 codec.

Please choose a flow quantity and run number (T2 - shallow flow, T3 - deep flow) or go back to the main animations page:
