Flow visualization for classical and “wavy” wings at low Reynolds number was carry out with thermovision camera. Some procedure details for such kind of investigation were specified. It was shown that thermovision as compared to classical flow visualization methods, make it possible to determine quite accurately, the flow features of interest. This makes the method very attractive at preliminary estimation of the flow pattern for its detailed investigation. The experimental setup and thermovision results are presented. A comparison between thermovision and oil-film visualization is conducted.

Keywords:
