The Navier-Stokes equation is a partial differential equation that describes the motion of a viscous fluid that conserves momentum, mass, and energy.

I have been fascinated by acrylic pours for a while. However, I haven't tried doing them because they can be messy. With this simulation of fluid flow that runs in a browser, I can create such images without the mess :).

The B.A.P. Unión, a Peruvian ship, arrived To Vancouver, BC Canada, Thursday to commemorate 75 years of diplomatic relations between Canada and Peru.
One of the largest sailing ships in the world.
The tall ship — a traditional sailing vessel — serves as a training ship for Peruvian naval cadets. That country's government says it is the second largest training ship in the world.
The ship has 34 sails, and has a total sail area of more than 3,400 square metres. It houses 243 crew members.
BAP Unión is a training ship of the Peruvian Navy, built between 2012–2015 by Shipyard Marine Industrial Services of Peru, known as SIMA. It is a four-masted, steel-hulled, class "A" barque, composed of 38 steel modules. It has a total length (including bowsprit) of 115.50 m (378 ft 11 in);a beam of 13.50 m (44 ft 3 in); a draft of 6.50 m (21 ft 4 in); an air draft of 53.50 m (175 ft 6 in); a displacement of 3,200 metric tonnes; a speed of 12 knots (22 km/h) and a crew of 250 officers and trainees. The ship's name honors a Peruvian corvette that took part in the first stage of the 1879–1883 War of the Pacific as part of a naval squadron under the command of Miguel Grau, a hero of the Peruvian Navy.

The Navy Yard, formerly known as the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard was an important naval shipyard of the US for almost two centuries. It is now a large industrial park.
It began in 1776 at the Front and Federal Street intersection (in what is now the Pennsport) and was the first naval shipyard in the US. The newer (larger) yard grew as facilities began expanding in 1871 on League Island at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers.
With the end of the Soviet Union, the US Navy ended most of its activities there in the 1990s. Subsequently, in 2000, the Philadelphia city gov't took over and began to redevelop the land. The Navy still has a Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility and a few engineering activities at the site.
The shipyard's greatest period came in World War II, when the yard employed 40,000 people who built 53 ships and repaired 574 more. During this period, the yard built the famed battleship New Jersey and its 45,000-ton sister ship, Wisconsin. In the Naval Laboratory, Philip Abelson developed the liquid thermal diffusion technique for separating U-235 for the Manhattan Project.

Those Sweds.. they've got it all figured out.
I find it kinda funny how close to the majority of people on this ride are adults. :)

Kingston trio on board
HMCS FREDERICTON
Posted 2 days ago
A Canadian warship sailing into Kingston today is a homecoming of sorts for several sailors on board.
The HMCS Fredericton carries three crew members with roots in the Limestone City, where their ship will stop for free tours Wednesday afternoon.
The frigate, which carries a crew of 215, returned from anti-piracy and counterterrorism operations off the coast of Africa this spring, will anchor south of Point Frederick as part of its Great Lakes tour.
The public will have a chance to board the ship this afternoon, part of the Navy's aim to expose Canadians to the nautical side of the Armed Forces.
The Kingston contingent on board the Canadian patrol frigate are getting a rare glimpse of their hometown.
Lt.-Cmdr. Dan Charlebois is a Bayridge Secondary School graduate and is the ship's executive officer, the second-in-command.
Leading Seaman Gord Ritt -wage on the HMCS Fredericton went to Ernestown Secondary School.
"I remember seeing The Tragically Hip for the first time in Kingston," Rittwage said.
"It's always good to see hometown boys at a hometown show.
"That's what I'm looking forward to (today), a hometown guy bringing the ship to the hometown."
Rittwage, 29, hasn't been back to Kingston since the warship returned from Operation SAIPH in early May.
The ship was off the east coast of Africa participating in an operation that looked to counter piracy and terrorism, explained Lt. Edward Stansfield.
One of the ship's main responsibilities was to deploy naval boarding parties commissioned to intercept suspicious vessels in small, inflatable boats and conduct an investigation of the cargo and crew.
Rittwage is a member of the boarding party and has conducted about 12 boarding missions -- half of them with the HMCS Fredericton.
"We're essentially like the ship's SWAT team," Rittwage said.
Members of the boarding party are armed and trained in "contraband detection, be it narcotics or human smuggling," Rittwage said.
Although he is a trained small weapons expert specializing in hand guns and submachine-guns, Rittwage said he's never come under gunfire during a mission.
During a particular boarding mission as part of Operation SAIPH, HMCS Fredericton received intelligence that a ship was transporting illegal drugs.
"We'd been tracking it for a few days waiting until the weather was right," he said. "We got dressed up in our gear, embarked on the vessel and started searching.
"We always ask a standard set of questions just to get a core set of information about the crew, also to gauge their reactions and see if they get nervous."
The boarding party found an amount of narcotics hidden in the fuel tank, said Rittwage. He said he couldn't disclose the type or amount of drugs.
Rittwage said the current Great Lakes tour is important because it raises the Navy's profile among residents of non-coastal cities that don't have Canadian naval ships regularly docked nearby.
"Basically, the ship is a floating city. We have everything a small town would have," he said. "Life on a ship is interesting. It's definitely something for people to come down and see."
Rittwage joined the Canadian Navy after visiting the Kingston recruiting centre. He had been working odd jobs around the city and needed a change.
He cautioned that naval life isn't for those with an aversion to confined spaces.
"The (sleeping) quarters are pretty tight," he said. "Each bed is three feet wide and six feet long and about two and a half feet tall. You pull your curtain back and that's all the privacy you have.
"You get to know the guys around you really, really well."
The ship left Montreal yesterday morning and will depart from Kingston on Thursday en route to its next stop in Toronto.
Ferries departing from Crawford Wharf will shuttle visitors to Point Frederick to tour the ship and meet the crew of 215. Tours will run between 1 and 5 p.m.
