An experimental study has been performed to visualize the coherent structures in a Mach 3 flat-plate boundary layer using the Nano-tracer planar laser scattering technique. The hairpin vortices are identified from the instantaneous structure in the streamwise-wall-normal plane, based on the induced motion of a hairpin model.
