Description
This color schlieren photo shows the turbulent convection column of hot air rising from a flame. The source of the flame is a crumpled sheet of paper partly visible at the bottom of the frame. A direction-indicating color scheme shows that most of the light is refracted horizontally by the rising turbulent flow, yielding colors of yellow on one side and blue on the other. This photograph was made on 70mm color transparency film in 1971 using a schlieren apparatus with a 0.3m field-of-view.
