Figure 1: Numerical simulation of flow on a curved surface.

From: Energy dissipation in flows through curved spaces

Figure 1

The figure depicts a simulation of a 2D fluid film, spanned between two vertical wires and flowing downwards by gravity. In the center, the film possesses an out-of-plane curvature modeled by a Gaussian function. The colors represent the vorticity field of the flow, showing curvature-induced, quadrupol-shaped distortions next to the center.
