Simulated airflow using the Lattice Boltzmann Method:
Initially the flow is nice and laminar, but as the angle of attack increases the flow delaminates and creates regular vortices. Only when the angle of attack is decreased again, does the flow return to a laminar flow.
The Lattice Boltzmann Method is a relatively novel method for simulating fluid dynamics that is very simple to implement and can be parallelized highly efficiently using modern parallel hardware such as GPUs.
