The GUNT Osborne Reynolds Experiment (HM 150.18) demonstrates laminar and turbulent flows in a pipe and allows observation of the transition from laminar to turbulent flow at a limiting velocity. The critical Reynolds number can be determined from the experimental results.
Product Features
- Transparent pipe section with flow-optimised inlet
- Valve for adjusting flow rate
- Streamlines displayed in colour using injected contrast medium (ink)
- Layer of glass beads in water tank ensures even, low-turbulence flow
- Critical Reynolds number determination
- Mounted securely on HM 150 base module work surface
- Water supplied and flow measured by HM 150 or laboratory supply
Benefits
- Visualises laminar and turbulent flow clearly
- Demonstrates the effect of velocity on flow regime
- Hands-on understanding of Reynolds number and flow characteristics
- Safe and precise experimental setup for classroom or laboratory use
Why Choose GUNT Osborne Reynolds Experiment?
The GUNT HM 150.18 unit provides a clear, interactive method for studying laminar and turbulent flows and determining the critical Reynolds number, essential for fluid mechanics education and research.
