EFD (Experimental Flow Dynamics) and CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) are two major research fields for analysis of flow phenomena. We focus on development of EFD/CFD integrated visualization which aims comparison and analysis of results of EFD and CFD. We especially have attempted to visualize the pressure and airflow around airplanes obtained as results of EFD and CFD, and have already presented a visualization of air pressure on the surfaces of airplanes. As the second step of our work, this paper presents a visualization of airflow around the airplanes obtained as results of EFD and CFD. Our representation is effective for the comparison of vortices as well as vector fields between results of EFD and CFD.
