Description

Hydrodynamics considers the relationship between the trajectory, the outlet contour and the outlet velocity during flow from tanks. These considerations have practical applications in hydraulic engineering or in the design of bottom outlets in dams, for example.
It allows a user to study and visualise the profile of a water jet. Additionally, the contraction coefficient can be determined as a characteristic for different contours.
The experimental unit includes a transparent tank, a point gauge and a panel for visualising the jet paths. An interchangeable insert is installed in the tank’s water outlet to facilitate the investigation of various openings. Four inserts with different diameters and contours are provided along with the unit.

Learning Objectives/Experiments
Recording the trajectory of the water jet at different outlet velocities
Study of how the level in the tank affects the outlet velocity
Determination of the contraction coefficient for different contours and diameters
Comparison of the actual and theoretical outlet velocity

Features
Visualisation of the trajectory of the outlet jet
Study of openings with different diameters and contours
Determination of the contraction coefficient

Specification
