Product Description

The FM-1849-30 Flow Visualization in Channel apparatus is an advanced experimental setup used to study water flow and streamline patterns around drag bodies and weirs in open channels. The unit allows users to observe fluid flow phenomena directly by injecting a contrast medium into the water stream.

The equipment features a transparent experimental flume that provides excellent visibility of streamlines and vortex formations. By using specially designed drag bodies and weirs, students can investigate how different shapes and obstacles influence the characteristics of fluid flow.

The apparatus includes a stabilizing flow system that ensures smooth, non-vortical water entry into the channel, enabling accurate and repeatable experimental results. Water levels within the flume can be adjusted at both the inlet and outlet, providing flexibility for different experimental conditions.

The unit is designed for practical learning and research applications in fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering laboratories. It offers hands-on understanding of flow behavior and supports theoretical concepts taught in engineering courses.
