Aerodynamics Trainer | FluidoSurge-X 348

The Aerodynamics Trainer | FluidoSurge-X 348 by SCIENTICO is a laboratory system for studying airflow around and through bodies. It features a variable-speed radial fan, low-turbulence measuring section, and 16 inclined tube manometers for pressure analysis. Suitable for aerodynamics and fluid mechanics laboratory experiments.

The Aerodynamics Trainer FluidoSurge-X 348 is a laboratory system designed for experimental study of airflow around and through bodies. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the trainer enables investigation of steady incompressible flow, boundary layer behavior, drag forces, and pressure distribution. It is suitable for mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineering laboratories.

Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 348 is equipped with a radial or centrifugal fan capable of generating controlled airflow through a vertical measuring section. The fan speed is infinitely adjustable using a frequency converter. A stabilization tank with flow straightener ensures low-turbulence, reproducible flow conditions, while a shaped nozzle provides a largely homogeneous velocity distribution. Measuring points along the test section allow pressure and velocity measurements, displayed using 16 tube manometers with adjustable inclination for improved accuracy in low-pressure readings.
