Thermal Dendrites on the Surface of Water and Water Solution

TL;DR

This paper reports the discovery of fractal-like thermal dendrites on water and water solutions' surfaces, observed via infrared imaging, showing specific sizes and temperature differences unrelated to liquid movement.

Contribution

It introduces the observation of thermal dendrites on water surfaces using infrared imaging, highlighting their unique characteristics and independence from liquid motion.

Findings

Thermal dendrites are fractal-like structures on water surfaces.

They are observed with specific sizes and temperature differences.

Their formation is not related to liquid movement.

Abstract

Thermal dendrites (fractal-like structures) on the surface of water and some water solutions are found with an infrared camera. They are observed with specific sizes and temperature differences in the liquid and are not associated with the movement of the liquid.
