A visualization of the concentration of particles surrounding a sedimenting, absorbing sphere (IMAGE)
Caption
A visualization of the concentration of particles surrounding a sedimenting, absorbing sphere. The absorption area is marked with a dashed line. On the left, the image displays the particle density, where the darkened area represents a depleted wake left by the sphere. On the right, the trajectories of individual particles are marked in blue. The particles follow the flow paths around the sphere, and exhibit random Brownian motion. (Source: Jan Turczynowicz, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw).
