Tip loss data

Can anyone help with a nice picture or two? I would like to see a smoke test showing the air distribution around the blade tip. Fingers crossed! Bug

J. Gordon Leishman is a leading authority on tip vortices. His textbook has a chapter entitled 'Rotor Wakes and Tip Vortices'.

Putting ["Leishman" AND "tip vortices"] into Google will find quite a bit of information and pictures.
