BOUNDARY RAM TEST RIG

Product Description

Specification:

BOUNDARYRAM TEST RIG

The test section of Boundary LayerApparatus has been developed to perform various experiments of aerodynamics andfluid flow.

This is a open circuit Wind Tunnel,provides a region of air flow.

A layer of fluid, which comes incontact with the boundary surface, adheres to it on account of viscosity, as areal fluid flow past a solid boundary. As a result, no slip condition prevails.

If the boundary is at rest, the fluidat the boundary has zero velocity and the velocity increases if the fluid isaway from the boundary.

Thus, there, is a thin layer in thevicinity of the boundary within which the velocity has been affected because ofthe boundary & viscous effects. This thin layer has been termed as the BoundaryLayer.

Learning Objectives/Experiments:

To study the boundary layer velocityprofile.

To determine boundary layer thickness& displacement thickness.

To determine the exponent in thepower-law of velocity distribution.
