eng Abstract:
Visualization of wind tunnel flow around the test model - one of the most informative and demonstrative techniques used in the study of aerodynamics models. Most fluids, gaseous or liquid, are transparent media, and their motion remains invisible to the human eye during direct observation. The visualisation of complex flows has been played a unique role in the improvement of understanding of fluid dynamic phenomena. Flow visualization has been used to verify existing physical principles and has to led the discovery of numerous flow phenomena. In addition to obtaining qualitative global pictures of the flow, the possibility of acquring quantitative measurements without introducing probes, which invariably disturb the flow. A great variety of such methods is known that enable one to make fluid flows visible.
