Visible indication of transition of boundary layer from laminar to turbulent flow plays important role in aerodynamic tests in wind tunnels and in flight. In newly developed method, liquid-crystal coats used to make visible such features of boundary-layer flows as transitions, separations, and locations of shocks. Changes of color rapid and reversible. For flight applications, provides capability for making transitions visible throughout almost entire altitude and speed ranges of subsonic aircraft. Also applicable to visible indication of supersonic flows and suitable for general use in high- and low-speed wind-tunnel and water-tunnel testing.
