Flow Visualization in Channel | FluidoSurgeX 220

The Flow Visualization in Channel | FluidoSurgeX 220 by SCIENTICO is an open channel flow apparatus for fluid mechanics laboratories. It enables visualization of streamlines, vortices, and flow behavior around weirs and drag bodies using a transparent flume and contrast medium injection. The unit supports adjustable water levels and uniform inlet flow. Suitable for use with a hydraulic bench or laboratory water supply.

The Flow Visualization in Channel FluidoSurgeX 220 is a laboratory apparatus designed for visual study of open channel flow phenomena. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the unit enables observation of streamlines, vortices, and flow behavior around weirs and drag bodies. The apparatus supports fundamental experiments in fluid mechanics through direct visual interpretation. It is suitable for use with a hydraulic bench or laboratory water supply.

Product Overview

FluidoSurgeX 220 consists of a transparent experimental flume that allows clear visualization of flow patterns in open channels. Either a drag body or a weir can be mounted inside the flume to study flow interaction. Streamlines are visualized by injecting a contrast medium through multiple nozzles. Water level within the flume can be adjusted to observe different flow conditions, while a flow straightener ensures uniform, non-vortical inlet flow.

Key Features-

  • Visualization of streamlines in open channel flow

  • Transparent experimental flume for direct observation

  • Demonstration of flow around weirs and drag bodies

  • Five-nozzle distributor for contrast medium injection

  • Adjustable water level for different flow conditions

  • Flow straightener for uniform, non-vortical inlet flow

  • Flexible installation on hydraulic bench or flat laboratory surface

Applications-

  • Fluid mechanics laboratory experiments

  • Study of open channel flow behavior

  • Visualization of streamlines and vortices

  • Demonstration of flow interaction with weirs

  • Observation of flow around drag bodies

Construction & Design Details-

The apparatus features a transparent flume that allows unobstructed observation of flow patterns. A stabilizer and flow straightener are integrated to ensure even flow at the inlet. Contrast medium is injected using a distributor with five nozzles to clearly define streamlines. The unit can be securely placed on the work surface of a hydraulic bench or operated independently using a laboratory water supply with proper drainage.

Experiments-

  • Study of how differently shaped weirs affect flow behavior

  • Visualization of streamlines for flow incident to a weir

  • Observation of flow patterns around different drag bodies

Standard Scope of Delivery-

  • 1 experimental module

  • Assorted drag bodies

  • 1 instruction manual

Export & Supply Capability-

SCIENTICO manufactures the Flow Visualization in Channel FluidoSurgeX 220 for engineering colleges, technical universities, and training laboratories. The apparatus is suitable for domestic and international supply. Export packing and documentation are provided according to customer and destination requirements.
