Using a Fractal Program to Model Vortical Flows

Year: 2004 Authors: L. Kerry Mitchell; Janet Parke

Core claim

A fractal program such as Ultra Fractal can be adapted to model vortical flows with enough fidelity to explore dynamics and generate art.

Topics

vortical flows, fractal simulation, chaos and periodicity, generative art

Domains

fluid mechanics, potential flow, Navier-Stokes equations, Runge-Kutta methods, fractal art, computational art, visual design, aesthetic motifs

Methods

point vortex model, numerical integration, Runge-Kutta scheme, iterated pixel rendering

Media

Ultra Fractal, Microsoft Windows, color palette, computer-generated images
