The technological development of shear flow visualization is reported to clarify the effect of shear flow on the diffusion experiments. The experimental equipment was developed to visualize the flow pattern and the penetration depth of flow. A pair of test cells, which can slide each other, was used for the simulation of shear cell. The flow pattern was investigated by both a tracer tacking method and a photochromic method. The flow patterns during the shear motion were visualized clearly. It was found that the mass exchanges between the cells occurred after the shear motion was stopped.
