Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics and Turbulence Modeling
The author used acrylic dyes to paint a multicolored fractal surrounded by worlds (shown above), as a reflection of the fractal nature of the universe and its ethereal flows and motions. Then, the Any Capture software was used to “colorize” the painting with diverse shades of blue and white, as these colors are reminiscent of raging, turbulent water. Five copies of the image were made, each being rotated by 90 and scaled by the golden ratio (1.618), for a subtle embodiment of chaotic fluid motion. The five images also represent the author’s total number of family members, thus generating a fractal family. Fractals and chaos are deeply embedded in turbulent eddy structure, for it is not possible to have turbulence without chaos and the fractal shapes that it generates. Although fractals represent a repeating pattern that gets smaller and smaller indefinitely, eddies cannot decrease in size forever, and are thus limited in lifespan. Nevertheless, the circle of life flows indefinitely through the fractal family, and much more so through Him who is above all the universe’s fractals and flows; the source of all the eternal ebbs and flows that comprise the totality of everything.
