Description
The Flow Visualization in Channels unit, “FME09”, designed by EDIBON, allows the visualization of liquid spillage phenomena in weirs and the study of objects submerged in a fluid stream (aerodynamics).
The unit consists of a transparent methacrylate channel with an overflow pipe on top and an adjustable plate in the discharge end. This plate allows for regulating the flow level.
The water is supplied to the channel by the pulse mouth of the Hydraulics Bench (FME00) or the Basic Hydraulic Feed System (FME00/B), by means of a flexible pipe, passes through a damping tank that eliminates the turbulences.
It has a colouring injection system consisting of a tank, a flow control valve and some needles that allow a better visualization of the flow around the different hydrodynamic models, which have to be placed in the middle of the channel.
Unit levelling through adjustable feet.
Several hydrodynamic models are given to study the flow around them.
