An interesting close look at fluid in motion in shampoo where a jumping behaviour is seen which is known as the Kaye effect. Never knew fluid physics could be so engrossingly beautiful. This won the scientists of the University of Twente in the Netherlands a prestigious place of videos about fluid in motion.
