Quantitative three-dimensional imaging and the structure of passive scalar fields in fully turbulent flows

The three-dimensional turbulent field of a passive scalar has been mapped quantitatively by obtaining, effectively instantaneously, several closely spaced parallel two-dimensional images; the two-dimensional images themselves have been obtained by laser-induced fluorescence. Turbulence jets and wakes at moderate Reynolds numbers are used as examples
