Key Features
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

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

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the purpose of FluidoSurgeX 220?
It is used to visualize streamlines and flow behavior in open channels.
Q2. How are streamlines made visible?
Streamlines are visualized by injecting ink as a contrast medium through multiple nozzles.
Q3. Can the apparatus be operated without a hydraulic bench?
Yes. It can also be operated using a laboratory water supply with proper drainage.
Q4. What types of flow elements can be studied?
Flow around weirs and different drag bodies can be investigated.
Q5. Is the water level adjustable during experiments?
Yes. The water level can be adjusted at both the inlet and outlet weir.
