Abstract

The present paper reviews some typical examples of water tunnel visualizations, made at ONERA, revealing small instabilities and the organized structures that characterize turbulent flows. These visualisations demonstrate chiefly the time variation, in films of the tests (e.g. ONERA Film, no 1213, Grosses structures et turbulence; 1989), as well as the contribution of certain parameters such as the Reynolds number.
