Laminar Flow Table Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-CELE-14006
This apparatus is a self-contained unit designed to visually
demonstrate ideal, two-dimensional (2D) flow patterns around various
shapes (immersed bodies). It utilizes a shallow sheet of water flowing between
two transparent plates to simulate flow conditions that are easily observable.
1. Key Components and Design
The core of the system is the flow table and its setup for
visualization.
- Flow
Table: The main test section where the flow occurs.
- Length: 750
mm (approx.)
- Width: 500
mm (approx.)
- Base
Material: Stainless Steel
- Transparent
Sheets: 2 Nos. of sheets (Material: Glass/Acrylic)
placed with a small gap between them.
- Function: This
arrangement confines the water flow to a thin sheet, effectively
simplifying the flow into two dimensions, which is characteristic of ideal
flow theory.
- Immersed
Body: The equipment is designed to allow different shapes
(not specified in the list but inferred) to be placed within the flow area
for observation.
- Dye
Injection System: A colored dye is injected at different
locations near the inlet.
- Dye
Vessel Capacity: 1 Liter, made of Stainless Steel.
- Function: The
dye acts as a visual tracer, forming streamlines that reveal the
flow pattern around the immersed body.
2. Water Circulation
The system uses a closed loop for continuous operation.
- Water
Circulation: Provided by an FHP Pump (Champion/Godrej
make).
- Sump
Tank: Capacity 40-50 Liters, made of Stainless
Steel.
3. Purpose and Experiments
The primary goal is the visual comparison of observed flow
patterns with theoretical ideal flow.
- Streamline
Visualization: Observe and sketch the streamlines of the
flow field, particularly their behavior when approaching and passing an
immersed body.
- Flow
Pattern Study: Demonstrate phenomena like flow separation
(depending on flow velocity) and velocity variation (where
streamlines are closer together, velocity is higher).
- Demonstration
of Potential Flow: Visually verify the theoretical flow patterns
predicted by potential flow theory (ideal, non-viscous flow) around shapes
like cylinders, airfoils, etc.
