Clear visualization of laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow
Constant inlet head for stable and repeatable experiments
Transparent plexiglass tube for direct observation
Manual flow rate adjustment
Suitable for use with laboratory water supply or hydraulic bench
Applications-
Fluid mechanics laboratory experiments
Demonstration of laminar and turbulent flow regimes
Determination of critical Reynolds number
Visualization of streamline behavior in pipe flow
Teaching internal flow fundamentals
Construction & Design Details-
The apparatus features a horizontal plexiglass pipe section mounted to allow unobstructed viewing of flow patterns. A raised supply tank with an overflow tube maintains a constant water head and uniform inlet conditions. Ink injection is controlled to produce well-defined streamlines. The system can be operated using either laboratory mains water or a hydraulic bench with a closed water circuit.
Experiments-
Visualization of laminar flow
Observation of transition flow
Visualization of turbulent flow
Determination of critical Reynolds number
Standard Scope of Delivery-
1 experimental module
1 instruction manual
Export & Supply Capability-
SCIENTICO manufactures the Horizontal Osborne Reynolds Demonstrator FluidoSurge-X 224 for engineering colleges, technical universities, and training laboratories. The unit is suitable for domestic and international supply. Export packing and documentation are provided according to customer and destination requirements.
Q1. What is the purpose of FluidoSurge-X 224?
It is used to visualize laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow and to determine the critical Reynolds number.
Q2. Why is the experimental section horizontal?
The horizontal arrangement allows easier control of ink injection and clearer visualization of streamlines.
Q3. How is a constant flow condition maintained?
A raised supply tank with an overflow tube ensures a constant inlet head.
Q4. Can the unit be operated without a hydraulic bench?
Yes. It can be operated using a laboratory water supply with proper drainage.
Q5. What material is used for the experimental tube?
The experimental tube is made of transparent plexiglass.
