Abstract
The existence and importance of large scale structures in turbulent flows has long been established. One of the most important tools of the fluid dynamicist for structure identification has been the ability to visualize the fluid motions in the problem of interest. Flow visualization by tagging fluid material has a long and rich history, and has stimulated scientist, engineer and artist alike. It is an unfortunate fact of nature that the same fluids whose mysterious motions we seek to unravel, conspire through molecular diffusion and other processes to invalidate these simple tools. Thus most have had to recognize the futility of such efforts in a large number of flow environments, and have had to settle for far less information about what the flow is really doing.
