Fluid Mechanics

Teaching Equipment for Fluid Mechanics

The fluid mechanics range offers a wide scope of teaching equipment for the delivery of complete courses in fluid dynamics.

In many settings, the modular Digital Hydraulic Bench acts as a base unit, allowing tutors to swap out individually mounted experiment modules on these self-contained benches, reducing lab set-up time, lab space requirements, and cost.

The impressive flow and sediment channels for demonstrating the mechanics of flow also enable the practical teaching and demonstration of phenomena such as critical and subcritical flow, hydraulic jump, and dune formation. There are many ancillaries available for use with the flow channels enabling them to be used as both teaching and research aids.

Within the fluid mechanics range there is equipment for demonstrating Bernoulli's theorem, the function, and dynamics of weirs, pressure and flow measurement, pipe friction, and energy loss, and much more.
