Educational visualization of the aerial footprint of a bat during free flight in a wind tunnel using particle image velocimetry.

This educational animation is based on the experiments conducted during my doctoral research in the Department of Theoretical Ecology at Lund University in Sweden and my post-doctoral research in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Brown University, Providence, RI. The animation was created in Autodesk Maya and post-processed in Adobe Aftereffects as part of my final project of the continuing education course “Maya animation” at the Rhode Island School of Design.
