HELESHAW APPARATUS

Product Description

Flow visualisation apparatus is basically designed on Heleshaw principle of potential flow, which uses water as Fluid medium and dye solution forms the streamlines. The thin test channel is formed between two acrylic plates and is having entry from the top and exit from the bottom. The model is placed between the acrylic plates. Both the Fluid medium and dye solution are poured into the top containers. The acrylic is kept open from the top so as to facilitate the insertion of the model into the Flow Visualisation Space. The channel is placed vertically in a strong sturdy frame mounted on a “C” channel. At the outlet the brass cock is provided with an outlet pipe connection for the proper flow of the water.
