Description
Schlieren photograph of a .22 caliber bullet passing a candle. With the Schlieren technique the shock waves from the bullet and turbulent convection column become visible. The lower sweptback shock wave reflects in a complicated way from the stool that supports the candle. Invented in 1864, Schlieren photography is used to study the distribution of density gradients within a transparent medium like air, water, or glass.
