The GUNT HM 220.02 Measurement of Boundary Layers accessory enables detailed study of boundary layers in fluid flows using the experimental plant HM 220. Boundary layers form along surfaces due to fluid adhesion and internal friction, affecting flow resistance and velocity. Investigating boundary layers provides insights applicable to aircraft construction, shipbuilding, and other engineering applications.
Product Features
- Flat plate attached in transparent pipe for longitudinal flow experiments
- Leading edge fitted with chamfer to minimise turbulence
- Vertically sliding Pitot tube measures total pressure at different distances from the plate surface
- Static pressure measured via additional point; dynamic pressure calculated from difference
- Velocity along the plate determined from dynamic pressure using tube manometer in HM 220
Benefits
- Enables practical analysis of boundary layer development
- Helps understand the effects of flow resistance and velocity variations
- Applicable to teaching and research in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics
- Facilitates clear visualization and measurement of flow behavior along surfaces
Why Choose GUNT HM 220.02 - Measurement of Boundary Layers?
The GUNT HM 220.02 accessory provides precise and illustrative study of boundary layer effects in flows, making it an essential tool for students and researchers investigating flow resistance, velocity profiles, and applied fluid mechanics using the HM 220 experimental plant.
