Notes:
Fluorescent lighting is used to avoid reflections in the visualization of various flows in a large Taylor–Couette device. The inner cylinder is covered by a fluorescent film and the entire apparatus is illuminated with UV lights. The visible light emitted by the film allows visualization by transmission through the flow containing reflective flakes. This technique is ideal to identify different flows coexisting in the whole apparatus, whose detailed structure has been determined locally by other traditional means. The major advantage of the technique is the lighting uniformity and the absence of parasitic reflections on the whole setup. The technique will soon be applied to the discrimination between laminar and turbulent areas in the coexisting regimes. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
