2.1 Umbroscopy and Schlieren
Umbroscopy and Schlieren are observation methods based on the deflection of light beams by the phenomenon of interest. They are applicable in many cases and can also use fast imagers, if required.
These methods are based on the modulation of the fluid's refractive index by the phenomenon of interest. The refractive index is related to the density of the fluid by the Clausius-Mosotti (or Lorenz-Lorentz) equation, which reduces to its simplest form, Gladstone-Dale, in the...
