The GUNT Visualisation of Flow Fields unit allows clear observation of laminar and turbulent flow in a shallow water channel using fine gas bubbles. Leveraging Reynolds scaling, the unit simulates airflow behaviors in a liquid medium, making it ideal for educational and research purposes.
Product Features
- Fine hydrogen bubbles generated via electrolysis for tracing flow fields
- Reynolds scaling enables demonstration of air flow phenomena in water
- Platinum wire cathode and stainless steel anode for bubble production
- Small bubbles follow flow patterns, enhancing visibility
- Interchangeable drag body models (cylinder, aerofoil, rectangle) included
- Shallow water channel with flow around and through inserted models
- White LED illumination along the walls provides high-contrast viewing
- Low flow velocities highlight flow separation and vortex formation
- Flow straightener and glass sphere layer ensure low-turbulence flow
- Adjustable flow velocity, electrolysis power, and pulse/pause durations
Benefits
- Clear visualisation of flow separation, vortex formation, and turbulence transition
- Ideal for studying real-time effects of drag and shape on flow patterns
- Indirect illumination ensures high-quality imaging and enhanced contrast
- Supports hands-on understanding of complex fluid dynamics principles
