Abstract The temperature and flow field of natural convection in a Hele-Shaw cell is visualized by using a liquid-crystal tracer. The tracer photographs obtained by this method are compared with the interferograms of previous experiments using the same experimental setup, and the applicability of the present methods is validated. Quantitative data of the temperature and velocity were obtained by applying a colour-image-processing technique to the visualized images.
