Abstract: A method for providing visual identification of a flow field across one or more wind turbines includes releasing at least one tracer material from at least one predetermined location of the wind turbine. The method also includes synchronizing the releasing of the tracer material with at least one of one or more operating parameters or one or more wind parameters of the wind turbine. Further, the method includes monitoring, via one or more sensors, a resultant flow pattern of the tracer material from one or more uptower locations.
