Free Vortex Apparatus

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14011

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Free Vortex Apparatus (Product ID: 14011) as part of its Civil Engineering Lab Equipment range. It measures the surface profile of a free vortex formed by tangential jets.

Quick Answer

Four tangential jets near the bottom of a clear acrylic cylinder, about 200 mm in diameter and 200 mm high, set the water rotating without significant external torque. A pointer traversing horizontally and vertically measures the surface, which follows a hyperbolic profile with velocity times radius constant. An FHP pump (Crompton make) supplies the jets from a stainless steel sump, and a rotameter reads flow.
