Supersonic Surface Flow Patterns with Dye

Supersonic surface flow patterns can be studied with dye flow visualization. This method uses dye on the surface of a body to show how gas moves across it. The resulting streakline patterns help reveal flow paths and surface behavior.

Visualizing flow around an autobody is critical to understanding and quantifying flow structure as well as for theorizing fluid flow behavior. One type of flow visualization is called surface flow visualization which uses a dyed fluid to observe the path traced by fluid flow around an object.

Dye flow visualization involves coating the bod...
