Andrew Yeckel > Art Gallery > EMS journal cover

Nobody does it better

A journal on nonlinear analysis published by the European Mathematical Society has redesigned its cover to use an image of mine.

Inside the front cover it says: "The cover picture shows a simulation by Andrew Yeckel of a Kármán vortex street, inspired by Sadatoshi Taneda's well-known experimental photograph of the phenomenon."

This isn't the first time my work has been featured on the cover of a science journal. An early flow visualization was selected for the cover of Crystal Growth & Design when it was launched in 2001, and was displayed there until 2003.

I made this image using a commercial product. Honestly, it is of low quality, though it gets the job done. I no longer use commercial tools for visualization, but I doubt they have improved much in this respect.
