Flow around an F-16XL Scamp model is visualized using smoke illuminated by laser sheets. Lasers are common equipment in fluids laboratories; they’re useful for flow visualization and for many velocimetry techniques.

Steering Water Droplets
At the microscale, fluid behavior can be quite different than what we witness in everyday life. Mechanisms that have little effect on the macroscale suddenly become extremely important in a channel only a few hundred microns wide. Here, water droplets in oil are steered and controlled using lasers.
