A computer-drive n color video display technique has been developed for the presentation of wind tunnel flowfield survey data. The results of both qualitative and quantitative flowfield surveys can be presented in highspatial-resolution color-coded displays. The display of data in this manner can be considered to be a new type of flow visualization. The technique enables one to present and interpret vast quantities of data that heretofore would have been difficult or impossible to comprehend. The technique has been used to display data obtained with a variety of heated element probes and pressure probes in surveys above and behind a wing with partially stalled and fully stalled flow.
