Visualisation of turbulent spots under the influence of adverse pressure gradients

In this paper, a method of using temperature sensitive liquid crystal to visualize the thermal footprints of turbulent spots is described. It is employed to study the nature and development of artificially created turbulent spots in a laminar boundary layer over a heated surface under the influence...
