Flow Visualisation Channel - Fluid Mechanics – TecQuipment

This video demonstrates TecQuipment's Flow Visualisation Channel, for visualising flow patterns around weirs and other objects in an open channel.

Learning outcomes include:

- Visualisation of flow around objects in an open channel
- Study of flow around submerged sharp-crested weir
- Study of a broad-crested weir and the effects of changing the profile of the weir (by reversing the block in the channel)
- Visual demonstration of hydraulic jump
- Visual demonstration at varying angles of flow around a hydrofoil (both symmetrical and asymmetrical)
- Visual demonstration of the mixing of two fluids with different properties e.g. warm and cool water, (lock gate experiment)
- Visual demonstration of the energy released when a block of ice turns
- Visual demonstration of ice melt in fresh and salt water.
