Slicing Fluids with Lasers

A simple laser-based visualization of air flow, where we slice the flow with smoke particles using a sheet of laser. We can observe various elements such as fluid turbulence, vortices, mixing, etc. Interest flow configurations involving vortex rings, wing-tip vortices, etc. will be sliced in various planes.
