While reading the book and learning about Goran Konjevod<\/a> (who seems to be a colleague from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), I stumbled on the work of Amanda Ghassaei<\/a>, who has created the Origami Simulator<\/a> and many other cool simulation tools producing mesmerizing results.<\/p>\n

It's fun to watch these vortex pairs glide around the screen, they kind of resemble little creatures.<\/p>When they collide they often trade partners and any unpaired vortices tend to get stuck.<\/p>For reference, each vortex pair is basically a 2D cross section of a smoke ring \ud83d\udca8 pic.twitter.com\/AhoHPP6ZBb<\/a><\/p>— Amanda Ghassaei (@amandaghassaei) January 22, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>
