Flow Visualization Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 200
A CE-certified precision laboratory apparatus for engineering experimentation and technical education, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Fluid Mechanics laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
The Flow Visualization Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 200 is designed to demonstrate laminar, two dimensional potential flow. It enables clear visualization of streamlines, sources, sinks, and flow around bodies. The apparatus is based on a classic Hele Shaw cell with adjustable water connections. It is suitable for fluid mechanics teaching and experimental demonstrations.
Product Overview
The SCIENTICO Flow Visualization Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 200 uses a Hele Shaw cell formed by two parallel glass and acrylic plates with a narrow gap. Water flows at low velocity between the plates to generate non vortical, laminar flow that closely represents potential flow. Flow lines are visualized by injecting ink through multiple injection points. Interchangeable models allow demonstration of flow around and through bodies, while combined sources and sinks enable formation of Rankine half bodies and dipoles.

Construction & Design Details-
The apparatus consists of two parallel plates with a controlled narrow gap to generate laminar two dimensional flow. The upper glass plate is hinged for easy insertion and removal of models. The bottom plate includes eight water connections that can be activated individually or in combination. Valves allow precise control of water flow rate and ink injection for clear streamline visualization. A grid on the observation panel supports accurate interpretation of flow patterns.
