Tenders Description & Specification for Laminar Flow Table
Laminar Flow Table
This enables a comprehensive investigation into the principles of potential flow and allows modelling of appropriate physical systems.
Designed to simulate ideal fluid flow and give clear visualisation of the flow patterns created using water as the working fluid.
Working section and end tanks made of glass reinforced plastic.
Floor standing apparatus demonstrates ideal flow, and Hele Shaw principles and is able to accept student made models.
A system of pipes, valves and manifolds enables any configuration of sinks and sources to be used.
Includes dye injection system and adjustable knife edge weir for rapid, accurate adjustment of table flow.
Working section dimensions 606mm x 892mm. Actual viewing area 495mm x 755mm.
Lower glass plate incorporates 8 sinks/sources in cruciform pattern and viewing graticule.
Comprehensive instruction manual with illustrations.
Experiments:
Ideal flow associated with sinks and sources
Formation of Rankine half body, formation of a Rankine oval, circular streamlines from a doublet, superposition of sinks and sources
Ideal flow in channels and at boundaries
Convergent channel, divergent channel, 90 degree bend, sudden contraction, sudden enlargement, replacement of a streamline by a solid boundary
Ideal flow around immersed bodies
Cylinder, aero foil, bluff body
Use of streamlines to analyse two-dimensional flow
Research – modelling two-dimensional systems
Approx. dimensions (HxWxD): 1.15×1.32×0.78m.
