BOUNDARY RAM TEST RIG

Product Description

The test section of "BoundaryLayer Apparatus has been developed to perform various experiments ofaerodynamics and fluid flow.

This is a open circuit WindTunnel, 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™ conditionprevails.

If the boundary is at rest, thefluid at the boundary has zero velocity and the velocity increases if the fluidis away from the boundary.

Thus, there, is a thin layer inthe vicinity of the boundary within which the velocity has been affectedbecause of the boundary & viscous effects. This thin layer has been termedas the "Boundary Layer.
