A Flow Visualization Investigation on Selected Shapes with Emphasis on Flow Separation.

Abstract

Four bodies having square sections were tested in the University of Florida water tunnel using the method of continuous distribution of dye sources combined with a tracer dye element. Representative photographs are presented along with a topological interpretation of the flow visualization in crossflow planes. The techniques are described in detail.
