Summary

The pattern of flow at low Reynolds Numbers about an aerofoil in a cascade has been illustrated by the hydrogen-bubble flow-visualisation technique. The method has also been adapted tor the accurate experimental determination of the position of boundary-layer separation. Results of the investigation are presented graphically together with photographs showing the general behaviour of the flow in the wake.
