Abstract: A tracer particle spreading device for a boundary layer flow visualization experiment based on a flat plate includes a tracer particle generator, a smoke storage box, and a wall-surface particle distribution box. Fume and oil are pressurized by a micro pump and flows into a heating pipe to be heated and vaporized, and then is ejected from a nozzle to form tracer particles. The tracer particles enter the smoke storage box via a smoke guiding tube. An axial flow fan is mounted on a wall surface of the smoke storage box. The tracer particles enter a cavity of the wall-surface particle distribution box via the smoke guiding tube, and the tracer particles are rectified by a rectifying plate and ejected from a spreading slit. An outlet of the spreading slit is at an angle of 15° with respect to an experiment flat plate.
