Something on sink particle

This is an experiment. A drop of mercury is vibrating in water. It resemble the fractal of accreting sink particle very much.

Actually they have physical resemblance, too. In this experiment, the vibration of mercury and water are coupled. In our simulation, high density part and low density part are also coupled. Waves serve as the driving force in the experiment.

It may imply that our simulation is physically right!
