“Aquakosmos – Ch. 2”

Featured Video Play Icon

Colored inks bulge and billow around flowers in filmmaker Christopher Dormoy’s “Aquakosmos – Ch. 2”. Because ink is denser than the surrounding water, it sinks, forming mushroom-like shapes as the Rayleigh-Taylor instability takes over. One of the fun things about this particular video is that we see the Rayleigh-Taylor instability at many different sizes, depending on the size and speed of different falling dyes.
