Flow Channel Apparatus
Product Code : EL-EFFCA-11076
The Flow Channel Apparatus from Lab Exports lets students visualise streamlines as fluid flows around various drag bodies, giving a direct, visual demonstration of flow behaviour and velocity variation around submerged objects.
Specifications
| Purpose | Visualisation of streamlines around various drag bodies |
| Flow Type Studied | Stationary flow, where streamlines coincide with flow lines |
| Observation Principle | Streamline proximity indicates relative flow velocity |
Key Features
- Directly visualises streamlines as fluid flows around different drag body shapes
- Demonstrates that closer streamline spacing corresponds to greater flow velocity
- Illustrates the relationship between streamlines and fluid particle paths in stationary flow
- Provides an intuitive, visual approach to understanding flow around submerged bodies
- Suitable for classroom demonstration of fluid dynamics fundamentals
Applications
The Flow Channel Apparatus is used in fluid mechanics and hydraulics laboratories to teach streamline visualisation and flow-around-body concepts, helping students understand how flow velocity varies around drag bodies of different shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Flow Channel Apparatus demonstrate?
It demonstrates streamline visualisation as fluid flows around various drag bodies.
Q2. What is the relationship between streamlines and flow velocity?
The closer the proximity of the streamlines, the greater the flow velocity at that point.
Q3. What type of flow does the apparatus study?
It studies stationary flow, where streamlines coincide with the flow lines (paths of motion of the fluid particles).
Q4. Why is streamline visualisation useful?
It gives students an intuitive, visual understanding of how fluid behaves and accelerates as it moves around obstacles of different shapes.
Q5. What courses use this apparatus?
It is used in fluid mechanics and hydraulics laboratories in mechanical and civil engineering programmes.
