Abstract
A flash photolysis method for introducing colored tracer into flowing water without disturbing its flow patterns is developed. The method employs a lightly colored dilute solution which undergoes a chemical reaction similar to the blueprint reaction upon exposure to high intensity light. A dark blue permanent tracer, easily observed or detected by colorimetry, is produced. As a demonstration and test, axial dispersion is measured in laminar flow in a round tube. Other flow visualization studies where it is important to avoid disturbing the flow should benefit from such methods.
