Streamlines
is a miniature wind tunnel which museum visitors can use to
visualize airflow patterns around a variety of objects. Brightly
lit streamlines of air and water vapor flow from one end of
a chamber to the other. Visitors open the clear chamber lid
and place objects into the airflow. The mist swirls around
the wing cross sections, cubes, spheres, and cityscapes revealing
laminar and turbulent airflow patterns. Visitors can vary
the airspeed of the streamlines to create different effects.
