The GUNT HM 225.02 Boundary Layers experimental unit enables detailed study of boundary layer phenomena on a flat plate using the HM 225 Aerodynamics Trainer. Boundary layers form when fluids such as air adhere to surfaces, affecting drag. Understanding laminar and turbulent flow within the boundary layer is crucial for designing aeroplanes, vessels, and turbomachines.
Product Features
- Flat plate with two different surfaces for studying surface effects on boundary layers
- Side bodies can be inserted to introduce degressive or progressive pressure curves
- Horizontally movable Pitot tube measures total pressure at various distances from the plate surface
- Plate can be moved vertically to record pressures along the flow direction
- Velocity determined from total and static pressures using HM 225 tube manometers
- Quick-release fasteners for easy and precise attachment to HM 225 trainer
Benefits
- Enables practical analysis of laminar and turbulent boundary layers
- Helps understand effects of surface roughness and flow interference on drag
- Illustrates the influence of pressure curves on boundary layer development
- Supports research and teaching in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics
