"In ordinary Newtonian fluids (those that do not exhibit shear thickening or shear thinning) the wave patterns include ones with 1-fold symmetry (stripes), 2-fold symmetry (squares), 3-fold symmetry (hexagons) as well as higher orders of symmetry."
Above quote and image are taken from the nonlinear physics pages at University of Toronto. I'm going to a workshop this weekend for artists on physics and patterns, organised by Subtle Technologies. This stuff above with patterns in liquids is the realm of Wayne Tokaruk. Michael Rogers works with patterns in chemical reactions and Zeina Khan (see image below) is the master of segregation patterns in sand. These three are all studying with Stephen Morris, who will conduct the workshop. I'll no doubt have more to report later. Cool pictures, n'est-ce pas?
