Figure 5


Fig. 5. Velocity fields in the wake of an adult chukar Alectoris chukar during ascending flight at 80°, revealed using DPIV. Backgrounds illustrate the bird (A) and vorticity, {omega} (B). Transparent red loops in A represent an assumed 3D shape of vortex ring as inferred from concentrations of {omega} about Formula and Formula. Effects of two downstrokes are shown, with starting and ending vortex cores evident as concentrations of {omega} and {omega}+, respectively, in B.
