Complex flows

I have been setting up complex flows in the lab, where fast and slow rates of flow are combined. Also, I've been experimenting with a new prototype for a sculpture I'm making with the help of the workshop staff at the Uni.

The first two images here show different flows running along side by side. The third image is from the sculpture prototype, and although by no means perfect, has some very interesting flow patterns as ink is pumped outward from a central source.
