Abstract

A short overview of the application of schlieren and shadowgraph image construction has been presented with a focus on its use in interpreting compressible CFD data. Numerical flow visualisation methods have been used for validation of numerical models of real flow fields but are also a valuable tool for identifying and interpreting flow field features and provide a useful means for extracting information from the numerical data that may not be readily apparent.
