mbnu FY2015 Annual Report 3.1.1 1

(a) Schematic diagram of a cross-slot device. Fluorescently-dyed fluid enters from positive y and undyed fluid enters from negative y. Flow exits along the x-direction. Confocal microscopy is performed in z-planes, which are scanned through the full depth of the device and used to reconstruct images in the x = 0 plane (green shaded region). (b) Three-dimensional (3D) rendering of a vortex structure observed for the flow of water at Re = 75.8 in a cross-slot with α = 1. The image is generated from z-plane images spaced at δz = 5 μm and has been cropped around the central vortex. The volume shown corresponds to the fluorescently-dyed fluid stream.
