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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What type of flow is demonstrated by this apparatus?
It demonstrates laminar, two dimensional potential flow.
Q2. How are streamlines visualized during experiments?
Streamlines are visualized by injecting ink as a contrast medium into the water flow.
Q3. Can flow around different bodies be studied?
Yes, interchangeable models such as cylinders, guide vane profiles, and geometric shapes are included.
Q4. Can sources and sinks be combined during experiments?
Yes, multiple water connections can be activated to form sources, sinks, dipoles, and Rankine half bodies.
Q5. What medium is required for operation?
The apparatus uses water as the flowing medium and ink for visualization.
