This is a visual test of fluid turbulence within t The Entropy Machine.

 

The project uses the scientific equations and formula behind natural occurrences of several types of turbulent forces, including vortex turbulence, mechanical resonance, turbulent flow, and entropy.

 

A calculation knows as Reynolds Number was used to create fluid motion and turbulence within the background imagery of the canvas (our symbolic closed system). The acceleration of human motion is calculated in real-time and plugged into the variable for inertial forces and the presence of people interacting causes a change in the value of viscosity, causing turbulence flow to become more and more likely and visible over time.
