Three-dimensional flow analysis by means of sequential and volumic laser sheet illumination

Flow visualizations in three dimensions by means of plane light sheets are now frequently used, particularly in wind-tunnels. In this paper, a further improvement to this technique using a moving laser light sheet is proposed; this method allows the global three-dimensional visualization and simulta...

Summary:Flow visualizations in three dimensions by means of plane light sheets are now frequently used, particularly in wind-tunnels. In this paper, a further improvement to this technique using a moving laser light sheet is proposed; this method allows the global three-dimensional visualization and simultaneous display of several cross-sections of an air flow.
