The Cross flow patterns, the total pressure losses, the vorticity and drag distributions of the wakes of 1/5 car models are visualized by combining three 5-hole picot tubes and a traverser in a wind tunnel. Three, passenger car shapes, an original one, the one with a reduced rear window angle, and the one with a rear spoiler, are examined and the wake data are obtained in the cross section at a half car length downstream from the car rear end. These data are calculated to evaluate vorticities, drag values, and so on and are presented as color contour maps.
The results show that in the case with the spoiler the vortices generated from rear pillars don't become clear and rather rotate in reverse, and the reduced rear window angle weakens the vorticity up to half of the original value. Using the drag distribution maps, we will be able to find out the body shapes which generate large drags.

Characteristics of flow fields around a ship model moving obliquely in shallow water are investigated by a flow-visualization technique using the dye tracer method. This report gives observed results for inclination of the trailing vortices with respect to a ship hull, streamlines on the hull surface and directions of flows behind the stern.
As a result, it is clarified that the inclination of the trailing vortices is remarkably dependent on water depth. This result for a flat plate wing agrees qualitatively with the theoretical value determined on a base of Bollay's wing theory. Additionally, it is indicated that the water depth has considerable influence on flow-straightening effect of a ship body.

There are many applications of selective withdrawal in engineering and environmental fluid mechanics. This paper presents flow structure in water bodies induced by selective withdrawal from two-dimensional and two-layered systems. The flow structure is investigated experimentally by flow visualization, using dye solution and shadowgraph method, for surface withdrawal and bottom withdrawal case.
In the case of super critical withdrawal, the experimental results shows the viscous effects is negligible and flow structure is quite simple. On the other hand, complicated flow structure and intermittent outflow accompanied with spiral shape vortex are visualized when discharge of withdrawal is almost critical condition. Growing vortex in the ambient water due to viscous effect which appears when the discharge of withdrawal is less than critical condition is also visualized and reported that it cause the formation of the middle layer which defined density distribution.

The behavior of plumes in stably stratified fluid layers is experimentally studied using the flow visualization techniques.
First, flow patterns of plumes are observed and classified into the following four regimes by means of the densimetric Froude number Fd, 1) two-cell convection, 2) trans it ion, 3) steady plumes with weak convection, 4) unsteady plumes with intermittent thermals. Second, the quantitative characteristics of plumes such as the rising height, the upward velocity etc. are investigated. As a result, it is found that the quantitative characteristics depend not only on the densimetric Froude number Fd but also on the parameter ε which expresses the strength of the nonlinearity.

A new algorithm of three-dimensional particle tracking has been developed to increase the number of velocity vectors obtained by the particle tracking velocimeter (Nishino et. al., 1989). This algorithm utilizes four consecutive sets of image data to establish both spatial and temporal correspondence of identical tracer particles. In the measurements of a homogeneous isotropic turbulence and a 2-D turbulent channel flow, it is demonstrated that the present algorithm works quite effectively in increasing the number of vectors and that as many as 441 instantaneous velocity vectors are obtained in the latter measurement.

A fully-developed two-dimensional turbulent channel flow has been measured using the three-dimensional particle tracking velocimeter based on a digital image processing technique. Turbulence intensities of all the three velocity components as well as the Reynolds stress were obtained well into the viscous sublayer from a total of 4.37 million velocity vectors. Present results show excellent agreement with those of the direct numerical simulation by Kim et al. (1987). In contrast to these results, the well-known near-wall data measured with the hot-film probes (Kreplin and Eckelmann, 1979), show considerably higher values of the wall-normal and spanwise turbulence components in the region of y+ ?? 20.

The 3-D particle tracking velocimeter was applied to the detailed turbulence measurement in a flow downstream of the one-side expansion of a two-dimensional channel. The mean velocities as well as the second-order statistics of three turbulence components, which will be useful in evaluating various turbulence models, have been calculated from about 2x106 measured instantaneous velocity vectors. Based upon the analysis of the forward-flow fraction, the mean reattachment length is determined as (7.0±0.5) times the step height. The anisotropy measures of turbulence components show that the spanwise velocity fluctuation is the largest near the wall in the reattaching region unlike the equilibrium wall-layer turbulence. This fact must be properly taken into account in numerical predictions of turbulent separated and reattaching flows.

In this paper we report the results of flow visualization by means of aluminum dust method, hydrogen bubbles method and dye injection method for the constricted pipe flow at the rear of stenosis. The experiments were carried out under some steady flow rate conditions.
The results may be summarized as follows: The flow-field is divided into jet region and recirculation region. The change of the structure is closely related to the change of Reynolds number. In the jet, the existence of potential core and orderly vortex structure is observed to be dependent on Reynolds number. The process of vortex formation, grow-th, coalescene and breakdown affects the reattachment length in jet.

In the experiment, the steam was absorbed into a quiescent liquid pool of LiBr solutions, and the liquid flows near the interface were observed by a video camera. It was found that the interfacial turblence is induced by Marangoni effect and that the mechanism can be explained by the dependency of surface tension on the concentration of LiBr and 1-octanol in the liquid phase.

The three-dimensional vortex method was used and a Rankine's vortex which is combined with a free vortex outside of the core and a forced vortex inside of the core was introduced. It is difficult to observe the behavior of the flow caused by the interaction between a pair of vortex rings by the experimental method. Therefore, this computer aided flow visualization is especially varid for the oblique collision of a pair of vortex rings. As a result, the interations between a pair of vortex rings were well described by this method.

Visualization and measurements of the velocity field in a pulsatile flow through a branching tube of square cross section with 45 degree take-off angle from the parent tube was made using a laser induced fluorescence method. Velocity profiles in two directions across the duct at eight different phases in a period of the pulsation were visualized at 24 different cross sections. As a result, at the parnet tube, the velocity profile was similar to that in a straight duct throughout the period of pulsation. At the branching portion, a vortex developed at the deceleration phase of pulsation near the outer wall side of the branch and it disappeared at the acceleration phase. At the downstream of the branching poration, flat velocity profiles were observed in both daughter tubes throughout the period of pulsation.

A holographic visualization of the pressure on the plate impinged by an axisymmetric turbulent air jet and reattached by a backward step flow have been carried out. A subdived silicon rubber sheet located on a plate was transformed with a pressure and its distrubution was measured by realtime holography. Fringe patterns indicate only pressure fluctuations when the plate image deformed by a pressure is used as original image. These were clarified by this method that axisymmetric coherent structures existed in the jet simultaneously and there were various coherent structures. Turburent structures above two regions are investigated again quantitively with the cross correlation between the pressure fluctuation on the wall and the velocity fluctuation at various points in flow. The movement and collapse of a large eddy are traced from the contours of cross correlation, which show that a large eddy impinges and passes away on the plate.

The Laser Speckle Velocimetry (LSV) is one of the most useful method of quantitative flow visualization, because it gives two-dimensional instantanious velocity distributions. But this method is not suitable for continuous measurement of unsteady flow, because normally the repetition rate of pulse laser is low.
We have reported a new illumination technique by making use of CW laser, and named the Beam-Sweep Laser Speckle Velocimetry (BS-LSV). A plane of observation in a flow field seeded with tracer particles is illuminated by periodical one-way sweeps of a laser beam instead of pulsed light sheets. This method is suitable for measurements of an unsteady flow, because the sequential specklegrams can easily be recorded continuously.
In this report, BS-LSV is applied to two-dimensional velocity measurements and visualization of pulsating flow in a peristaltic pump.

A basic knowlege for laser speckle photography (LSP) and in-line holographic interferometry is highly essential to obtain two-dimensional velocity distribution of particle jet impinged by the nozzle. LSP can measure the velocity distribution for the entire impinging field. However it is rather difficult to apply this LSP for the high-speed or unsteady flow using CW lasers like Ar-ion or He-Ne gas lasers with the optical chopper due to the intensity of palusive laser light.
From this point of view the effort was made to obtain two dimentional velocity field of high-speed particle jet by the giant double pulsed ruby laser in this paper. It is clarified from the results that LSP using double pulsed laser can be masured with high accuracy in the renge of 51-10(m/sec). Parallel with this LSP method, double pulsed holographic interferometry technice is also carried out in order to visualize the two dimensional velocity field of particle, jet. This result agree well with the ones obtained by the LSP method. Through these total considerations, this LSP method is proved to be highly effective for the flow mesurement in a high speed particle jet.

The shock waves generated at U-shaped pin which is flying counter to the supersonic flow is recorded on hologram by this method. As the result, the reconstructed image enable us to understand the 3-dimensional shock wave configuration at the edge of U-shaped pin.

For the purpose of non-invasive quantitative evaluation of the intracardiac blood flow dynamics, a new method for obtaining the stream lines and velocity vector distribution of the blood flow has been developed in our laboratory. In this study, characteristics of intracardiac flow were investigated in normals and several cases with myocardial infarction by using this method. Flow velocity data were obtained from ca 150 sampling points on the apical long axis cross section plane of the heart by the use of pulsed Doppler method of 3.5 MHZ ultrasound. The stream lines and velocity vector distribution were calculated from the 2-dimensional distribution data of the velocity by applying the stream function theory. From the 2-dimensional distribution of the stream line and velocity vectors, the flow speed and direction are clearly evaluated.And spreading or gathering flow, rotating flow are eddies in the ventricle occurred during one cardiac cycle are also estimated. From the results obtained from the pathological cases, it is considered that the flow state and dynamics reflect the changes in local myocardial contractibility and extensibility and that this new method will serve as a useful and reliable technique for evaluating the intraventricular flow dynamics and myocardial functions.

An experimental study has been performed to investigate the influence of density inversion of water on free convection and temperature-distribution characteristics of air-water layers within a cooled circular tube. The experiments were carried out under the condition that the tube-wall temperature was favorably decreased at a uniform rate. A holographic interferometry technique was adopted to determine the time-dependent distributions of the temperature in the tube. It was observed that the temperature-distribution behavior varied to a great extent due to the cooling rate of the tube wall based on the time-dependent sequential flow pattern. The heat-transfer characteristics along the tube wall were also extensively determined. It was found that there were three peculiar dendritic-ice formations within the water layer of the horizontal tube based on the cooling rate.
