Shockwave and Vortex Visualization Examples at Aerodynamics Laboratory, Yokohama National University

Abstract

  This article introduces visualization examples at Aerodynamics Laboratory, Yokohama National University: 1) Shockwave detection and visualization using edge-detection coined as CEDRIC (Canny-Edge-Detection / Rankine-hugonIot-Conditions unified shock sensor), and 2) vortex visualization by velocity vectors on a semi-transparent cross-section.
