Description
Fine gas bubbles are perfectly suited to visualising flow fields. Due to Reynolds scaling, many flow processes that occur in air can also be demonstrated by experiments in water.
The experimental unit can be used to visualise laminar and turbulent flow processes in a water channel. Hydrogen bubbles are generated electrolytically at a cathode made of thin platinum wire. A stainless steel plate is used as an anode. Small bubbles that detach from the platinum wire are easily carried along by the flow due to their small size.
An interchangeable model is used in the shallow water channel and flow travels around and through it. White LED illumination is located along the experimental section on the walls of the water channel. The indirect illumination results in a high-contrast image.
Learning Objectives/Experiments
Visualisation of two-dimensional flows
Streamline course in flow around and through models
Flow separation
Vortex formation, demonstration of Karman vortices
Qualitative observation of the velocity distribution in laminar and turbulent flow
Analogy to air flow
