Magnetically Unstable Cylindrical Couette Flow

Visualizations of magnetically unstable cylindrical Couette flow. This image shows the enstrophy and regions of high hydrodynamic dissipation, and was created by Cristina Siegerist, LBNL, in a collaborative effort between VACET, the NERSC Analytics program (www.nersc.gov)
