Description
With the color schlieren optical technique, a puff of hot air and smoke from this pipe produce a rising mushroom-shaped plume. Weaker thermal convection is also seen from the smoker himself (here seen in silhouette), especially his lap, chest, and back. The dark spot opposite the pipe and to the right is an exhaled puff of pipe smoke. The circular schlieren field-of-view shown here is provided by the 1-m-diameter parabolic mirror of the Penn State University Gas Dynamics Laboratory.
