BOUNDARY LAYER THEOREM APPARATUS

PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

The present set-up is an open type wind tunnel toperform the experimentations on boundary layer. Thetest section of "Boundary Layer Apparatus" has beendeveloped to perform various experiments ofaerodynamics and fluid flow. This open circuit Wind Tunnel, provides a region of air flow. A layer of fluid,which comes in contact with the boundary surface,adheres to it on account of viscosity, as a real fluid flowpast a solid boundary. As a result, 'no slip' conditionprevails. If the boundary is at rest, the fluid at theboundary has zero velocity and the velocity increases ifthe fluid is away from the boundary. Thus, there, is a thinlayer in the vicinity of the boundary within which thevelocity has been affected because of the boundary &viscous effects. This thin layer has been termed as the"Boundary Layer".
