The picture below is a screen shot of the
"Spoon-Dial" browser-based activity. The user clicks on a wooden spoon that
causes a movie to play below the spoon dial. The more opaque the spoon, the
higher the Raleigh number and the greater the degree of convection.
Basically the various movies range from a tiny tremor to full-blown chaotic
convection. Another movie plays in the top-right corner showing examples of
convection on and in the earth.
N.B. The actual website is not linked to from here because all the movies
make it a very large download! |
