From the preceding study following points are evident: 1) The method used is very simple to implement on the watertable. The visual quality of the flowfield is quite comparable to, if not better than, the commonly available visualization techniques. 2) The overall cost of the experimental setup is relatively small in comparison with that of compressed air systems. Furthermore, the primary cost and time involved in recording the flow patterns are practically insignificant compared to those involved in the conventional techniques. Quantitative analysis of the flow patterns using the optical prism method may also add significantly to the capability of the existing image processing technique and open up entirely new application areas that have not previously been feasible or cost effective. In view of the potentiality of the proposed method, computerization of the photographic technique would be worth trying.
