Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Flow visualization over a 1/48-scale model of an F-18 aircraft inside a water tunnel at the Flow Visualization Facility from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center. Water flows over the aircraft model, and colored dyes, which are pumped through tubes with needle valves, flow back along the airframe. This photo highlights the appearance of vortices over the leading-edge extensions, as well as vortex burst further downstream, both typical of operations at high angle of attack.
