Simulation of flow on a soap film stretched between two vertical yarns

Simulation of flow on a soap film stretched between two vertical yarns (6 cm wide). The soap film is very thin (a few microns) and the flow is confined in the film plane. The flow (1.5 m / s speed) is disturbed by the teeth of a plastic comb (black dots at the top of the picture). Each tooth causes disruptions in the flow and creates many vortices.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
