Course: Flow Visualization: A Course in the Physics and Art of Fluid Flow

Department: Mechanical Engineering

Professor: Jean Hertzberg

Course description: Anybody who has paid attention to patterns formed while stirring milk into coffee has participated in flow visualization. It is the process of making the physics of fluid flows — gases and liquids — visible. Designed for engineering, fine arts photography and video students, the class explores techniques for creating images of fluid flows.

Hertzberg says:��“Development of this course has been the most profound teaching experience of my career. For the first time, I found that my course had an impact; students came out with changed perceptions, really being able to ‘see’ the world around them in a
different way.”
