Fluid vortices
A flow shedding alternating vortices behind an obstacle (a Kármán vortex street), drawn with glowing streamlines.

Visual traits
- A round obstacle sits on the left; the flow passes it from left to right
- Behind it, vortices form two staggered rows that spin in opposite directions
- Thin streamlines curl around each vortex; one sense of rotation is magenta, the other cyan
- Glowing lines and particles are drawn with additive blending on a near-black background, so overlaps get brighter and bloom
- In motion, the vortices drift downstream while the streamlines flow
Prompt
Fluid vortices: a Kármán vortex street behind a round obstacle on the left, two staggered rows of counter-rotating vortices drawn with thin glowing streamlines that curl around each vortex, magenta for one sense of rotation and cyan for the other, on a near-black background with additive blending. As video, the vortices drift downstream.
