Quoted Description
A simple educational tool in fluid dynamics. Graphite flakes make a beautiful rheoscopic fluid. The flakes also react to a magnetic field, aligning with the field direction. Combine these two phenomena and you can produce interesting flow models and even streamlines around objects like cylinders and airfoils. Cylinders produce the well known Von Karman vortex patterns.
