Free and Forced Vortex Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Free and Forced Vortex Apparatus

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14099

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Free and Forced Vortex Apparatus (Product ID: 14099) as part of its Civil Engineering Lab Equipment range. It produces both free and forced vortices in one transparent cylinder.

Quick Answer

For a free vortex, water enters through four circumferential jets near the base of a 200 mm acrylic cylinder and leaves through a central orifice, which can be changed with a reducing bush. For a forced vortex, the whole cylinder is rotated by an FHP variable-speed motor through a V-belt. The overflow point is 150 mm high, and students measure surface co-ordinates to compare the hyperbolic and parabolic profiles.
