<p>SUBJECT: <i>A Circulation and a Constant Flow</i></p>
<p>DESCRIPTION: The animation shows a flow field using animated textures. The direction of the velocity field is indicated by the correlation in the textures. When animated, the texture patterns move in the direction of the velocity field. This flow field has a circulation sitting in a constant downward flow.</p>
