FL 16.2 – Streamlines Visualization in a Channel

This equipment allows the study of the behavior of fluids in open channels and flow lines that form around different submerged objects.

Description

This equipment allows the study of the behavior of fluids in open channels and flow lines that form around different submerged objects.

The service for the experiments is the flowing water. So that the flow lines are visible during the experiments, diluted ink is used in water. This combination of elements with the feature that the channel is completely transparent allows optimal viewing of the flow lines .

Different bodies of landfill and profiles are provided as varied forms.
