Abstract
A PRELIMINARY photographic study has been made using a schlieren optical system in which a 1-microsecond flash-light source was arranged to flash five times in synchronism with a single-step function voltage applied to electrodes immersed in highly purified n-hexane. The events were recorded with a rotating-mirror camera.
