Laminar Flow Table

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.

  1. Streamline Visualization: Observe and sketch the streamlines of the flow field, particularly their behavior when approaching and passing an immersed body.
  2. Flow Pattern Study: Demonstrate phenomena like flow separation (depending on flow velocity) and velocity variation (where streamlines are closer together, velocity is higher).
  3. 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.
