When the fluid is put in motion, the suspended particles orient themselves in localized, preferential alignment, larger parts of the fluid moving sheer parallel to other parts of the fluid. With appropriate illumination, the particle-filled fluid will reflect differing intensities of light.
A Kalliroscope is an art device/technique based on rheoscopic fluids (using crystalline guanine as the indicator particles[1]) invented by artist Paul Matisse.

In fluid mechanics specifically rheology rheoscopic fluids are fluids whose internal currents are visible as it flows Such fluids are effective in visualizing dynamic currents such as convection and laminar flow They are microscopic crystalline platelets such as mica metallic flakes or fish scales in suspension in a fluid such as water or glycol stearate When the fluid is put in motion the suspended particles orient themselves in localized preferential alignment larger parts of the fluid moving sheer parallel to other parts of the fluid With appropriate illumination the particle filled fluid will reflect differing intensities of light A Kalliroscope is an art device technique based on rheoscopic fluids using crystalline guanine as the indicator particles 1 invented by artist Paul Matisse See also editReynolds numberReferences edit https pubs aip org aip pof article 30 8 087103 938850 Rheoscopic fluids in a post Kalliroscope worldExternal links editUniversity of Chicago Materials Research Centre Demonstration Instructables Making Rheoscopic fluid Paul Matisse rheoscopist nbsp This fluid dynamics related article is a stub You can help Wikipedia by expanding it vte Retrieved from https en wikipedia org w index php title Rheoscopic fluid amp oldid 1182791736, wikipedia, wiki, book, books, library,
