RE: Hexagon in nature: why is the honeycomb hexagonal?
The flow visualisation you mentioned sounded like something you'd see in aeronautics. You studying aeronautical engineering? When you say circular one, are you saying the beehives in Nigeria are not hexagonal? The one I saw last week was hexagonal, can't recall seeing one that wasn't. Thanks.
Well, it is related to aeronautics because it cuts across aerodynamics but flow visualization is not strictly aerodynamics, instead it is an aspect of fluid dynamics in all.
I studied mechanical engineering.
And about the honeycomb I used, it is artificial. I made it myself. The natural honeycomb does not have the required strength.
