Product Details

This ESOLS product is designed for Fluid Mechanics laboratories to study various source and sink arrangements and to investigate flow around a wide variety of differently shaped models. The apparatus enables visualization of streamline fields for flows around drag bodies as well as flow through changes in cross-section. The streamlines are displayed in color by injecting a contrast medium (ink). Sources and sinks are generated through four water connections located in the bottom plate. The streamlines can be clearly observed through the transparent glass plate during flow around or flow through experiments. The water flow rate and the quantity of contrast medium injected can be precisely adjusted using control valves. The water connections can be selectively activated by valves and combined as required. Individual models can be easily created by cutting them from the rubber plate provided with the unit. The experimental unit can be operated either by a laboratory water supply or in combination with any hydraulic bench.
