Potential Flow .
Flow Around Bodies
Specification Of Flow around Bodies
- Demonstration of potential flow in a Hele-Shaw cell for visualising streamlines
- Flow around supplied models: cylinder, square, rectangle, guide vane profile, various models for changes in cross-section
- Modelling the flow around contours without models by overlaying parallel flow with sources or sinks
- Water as flowing medium and ink as contrast medium
- Hele-Shaw cell made of two glass plates arranged in parallel with narrow gap
- Upper glass plate, hinged for swapping models
- Bottom glass plate with cross-shaped water connections for generating sources/sinks, can be combined as required
- Grid in the bottom glass panel for optimal observation of the streamlines
- Flow
velocity, water inlet and water outlet in sources/sinks as well as
dosage of the contrast medium can be adjusted by using valves
