Abstract :
Issues and difficulties involved in the practical implementation of flow visualization techniques based on a database generated in numerical simulations of unsteady square jets are addressed. Instantaneous visualizations provide basic information on the topological features of the flow, while animation of these visualizations gives an insight into the detailed dynamics of formation, development, and interaction of the coherent structures controlling the entrainment and mixing processes
