  Aluminum Tracer   Convection currents within a liquid cause patterns of movement on the surface. These patterns can be visualized by adding highly reflective aluminum powder to the liquid. The powder alignment within the liquid then allows us to visualize these motions. Sometimes the powder accumulates on the surface and these islands, while not of great significane on their own, sometimes acquire interesting shapes in their own right.
