Laminar Flow Visualization and Analysis Unit

The Laminar Flow Visualization and Analysis Unit, allows a complete study of the two-dimensional problems associated with the laminar flow by the visualization of the different models of flow, which can be observed thanks to an efficient system of colored liquid injection.

ATENG 11792 detail

Grid to facilitate the visualization of the lines of flow.

The top glass sheet of the visualization area has handles to lift it easily for a correct operation or to install the different hydrodynamic

models.

The central sink of the bottom plate, placed in the visualization area, has a doublet, that is to say, there is a sink and source in close

proximity.

The control systems allow every sink and source or only some of them to be fed at the same time.

It is supplied with a dye injection system, for a better visualization of the flow lines. It consists of nineteen needles, placed between the glass

sheets at the input. They are feed from a simple adapter. An appropriate quantity of dye is injected through each needle and the direction

is clearly visualized.

• It includes a set of hydrodynamic models:
• Three circular models: 40, 60 and 80 mm diameter.
• Three square models: 40, 60 and 80 mm of length.
  Wing shaped model.
  The unit can be completely drained by opening the drain valves located on the base of the input and output tanks.
