Supersonic Flow Simulation

Fuck Yeah Fluid Dynamics is one of my favorite new science blogs. Today's visualization is a simulation for supersonic flow around a cylinder but FYFD isn't just about pretty videos - the editor is clearly well read in fluid dynamics and gives lots of details about what is going on.

The visualization was made using FEniCS, which is a tool for "automated, efficient solution of differential equations".
