Boundary Layers Module | FluidoSurge-X 356
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 Boundary Layers Module FluidoSurge-X 356 is a laboratory accessory designed for experimental investigation of boundary layer development over a flat plate. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the unit enables detailed study of laminar and turbulent boundary layers and the influence of surface roughness. It is intended for use with the compatible aerodynamics trainer in fluid mechanics laboratories.
Product Overview
FluidoSurge-X 356 allows air to flow parallel to a flat plate to analyze boundary layer formation. The plate is provided with two different surface finishes to compare the effect of smooth and rough conditions on boundary layer behavior. A horizontally movable Pitot tube, adjusted using a micrometer screw, measures total pressure at various distances from the plate surface. The plate itself can be moved along the flow direction to enable pressure measurement at different streamwise positions.
Removable side bodies can be installed to introduce degressive or progressive pressure gradients, allowing investigation of boundary layer interference effects and internal friction behavior.

Q1. What is the purpose of this module?
It is used to study boundary layer formation and behavior on a flat plate.
Q2. How is velocity within the boundary layer measured?
A Pitot tube measures total pressure at different distances from the plate surface, from which velocity is determined.
Q3. Can surface roughness effects be analyzed?
Yes. The module includes both smooth and rough plates for comparative analysis.
Q4. What is the function of the side bodies?
They create degressive or progressive pressure gradients to study boundary layer interference.
Q5. Is the module standalone?
No. It requires a compatible aerodynamics trainer for operation.
