Fluid Dynamics in Art and Nature

August 23 – October 13, 2019

This study gallery exhibition explores the intersection of art and science by bringing together works of art from the Benton Museum’s collection with computer simulations of natural phenomena. As part of the Fluid Dynamics I course in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the exhibition aims to promote creativity, critical thinking, and self-learning.

Fluid Dynamics in Art and Nature is curated by George Matheou, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Amanda Douberley, Assistant Curator/Academic Liaison, Willian Benton Museum of Art.
