Movie 1.
The flow field during two pulsation periods. The quiver arrows represent point measurements of the flow field. For presentation reasons only 25% of the vectors measured are shown. The heatmap overlay represents the velocity magnitude |u| (see colorbar for scale). The video is slowed down by a factor of 3.5. Click the image to acess the video on YouTube.
