Schlieren: History, Schlieren displays & Schlieren flow visualization

Schlieren (/ˈʃlɪərən/ SHLEER-ən; German: ⓘ, German for 'streaks') are optical inhomogeneities in transparent media that are not necessarily visible to the human eye. Schlieren physics developed out of the need to produce high-quality lenses devoid of such inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are localized differences in optical path length that cause…
