This is the results of an application that models the pouring of a fluidity spiral used to measure the distance metal can flow in a channel before being stopped by solidification. The image shows the surface temperature on the mold, as well as streamtubes of molten metal flow within the mold, the magnitude of the velocity is colormapped to the surface of the streamtubes.
