Construction and System Design
The FluidoSurge-X 364 is built around a transparent plate that allows unobstructed observation of internal airflow. The Y-channel incorporates a lateral control jet inlet, two diverging outlets, and adjustable geometry components including a pivoting element and a vertical sliding wedge. Calibrated scales in three orientations, vertical, horizontal, and radial, enable precise, reproducible configuration of the channel geometry. The unit is designed to mount directly onto the FluidoSurge-X 348 aerodynamics trainer using quick-release fasteners, ensuring accurate alignment and stable operation without tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the Coanda effect and how does the FluidoSurge-X 364 demonstrate it?
The Coanda effect is the tendency of a fluid jet to adhere to a nearby curved or flat surface rather than continuing in a straight path. The FluidoSurge-X 364 demonstrates this by directing airflow through a Y-shaped channel where the geometry can be adjusted to observe how the flow attaches to and follows the channel walls.
Q2: What equipment is required to operate the FluidoSurge-X 364?
The FluidoSurge-X 364 is an accessory unit and requires the SCIENTICO FluidoSurge-X 348 aerodynamics trainer for operation. It mounts onto the base trainer using quick-release fasteners.
Q3: What experiments can be conducted with this unit?
The unit supports two principal experiments: investigation of wall-guided airflow as a demonstration of the Coanda effect, and familiarisation with the operating principle of pneumatic logic elements, including the amplification effect produced by a weaker control jet switching a stronger primary flow.
Q4: How are the channel contours adjusted on the FluidoSurge-X 364?
The channel geometry is modified using a pivoting element with a range of 0° to 90° and a sliding wedge with a travel range of 0 to 70 mm. Vertical, horizontal, and radial scales are provided on the transparent plate for accurate, repeatable positioning.
Q5: Is the FluidoSurge-X 364 suitable for international laboratory supply?
Yes. SCIENTICO manufactures and exports the FluidoSurge-X series to engineering institutions and authorised distributors internationally. The unit is supplied with an instructional manual and packaged for safe international transit.
