Smoke for Flow Visualisation — A Warning
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
In some recent tests we have successfully used the smoke from smouldering paper to indicate the flow of air in the vortices above slender wings at speeds in the region of 200 f.p.s. Smokes of this kind are particularly suitable for the production of the large volume flows required because in certain conditions they do not lose density by condensation in long supply tubes.
