or CFD department. Here are a few selected sites that have been around for a
long time and have a lot of nice pictures and movies related to CFD.
- Gallery of Fluid Mechanics
![[GOOD]](Icons/smiley.gif)
- Very nice pictures of fluid dynamics phenomena in nature. If you're interested
in fluid dynamics you should definitely check it out. There are no CFD plots
here though.
- The Colorful Fluid Mixing Gallery
- Many nice pictures and movies of mixing processes.
- Virtual Album of Fluid Motion
- More than 4 GB of pictures and movies from computations using the Featflow
code.
- Gallery of Turbulent Flows, CTR
