Potential Flow Demonstrator Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Potential Flow Demonstrator

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14115

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Potential Flow Demonstrator (Product ID: 14115) as part of its Civil Engineering Lab Equipment range. It is a large Hele-Shaw cell for visualising two-dimensional potential flow.

Quick Answer

Water flows slowly through a 5 mm gap between two glass plates, 910 x 585 mm, giving laminar, near-ideal flow. Nineteen nozzles inject ink from a 200 mL tank to show streamlines. Eight cross-shaped connections in the bottom plate act as sources and sinks, so Rankine half-bodies and dipoles can be built without models. Six rubber drag-body models (cylinder, square, rectangle, guide vane profile) and two contraction or enlargement models are supplied.
