Welcome


The title says it all: this blog features physics videos found everywhere on the web: animations, demonstrations, lectures, documentaries.
Please go here if you want to suggest other nice physics videos, and here if I mistakingly infringed your copyrights. If you understand French, you'll find a huge selection of physics videos in French in my other blog Vidéos de Physique.

Vorticity

The experiments in this film illustrate the concepts of vorticity and circulation, and show how these concepts can be useful in dunderstanding fluid flows.

Channel Flow of a Compressible Fluid

The purpose of this film is to demonstrate several effects of compressibility which are important in any attempt to produce or control a supersonic internal flow.  The heart of the subject is the behavior of a compressible gas flowing at high speed through a converging-diverging nozzle.  Tne film therefore begins with the phenomenon of choking, or sonic flow at a throat.  Some examples of shock waves and expansion waves are shown in passing.  Finally, the film takes up the problem of bringing a supersonic stream efficiently to rest.
