The flow field around the axisymmetric streamlined bodies which forms the main body of the airplanes and submarines has been the subject of several researches. The present study aimed to investigate the flow field around a standard submersible model in various angles of attack by employing two visualization methods. The vortex structures around the model are qualitatively studied at the 40-degree angle of attack in a vertical wind tunnel. These structures are visualized by the laser sheet illumination of the smoke injected flow. The shear stress field lines on the model surface in the 0≤ α ≤35° angles of attack became visible by oil and pigments. Noteworthy and distinct aspect of the present study is the application of two empirical visualizing methods which made three dimensional vortical field more understandable. Formation and development of the primary and secondary vortex along the model length are qualitatively interpreted by the results of the smoke and laser light visualization technique. Moreover, the primary and secondary separation lines along model length for various angles of attack were deduced from the results of the oil flow visualization.
