Procedure:
Setup Design: Design the experimental setup including a flow
chamber or channel where fluid will flow. This could be a pipe,
a tube, or a channel with transparent walls for visualization.
Equipment Selection: Choose appropriate equipment such as a
pump to generate the flow, a flow meter to measure flow rate,
and sensors to measure pressure and temperature.
Selection of Fluid: Select a fluid for the experiment. Water is
commonly used due to its availability and easy visualization, but
other fluids with specific characteristics may also be chosen
depending on the experimental requirements.
Measurement Instruments Calibration: Calibrate all
measurement instruments to ensure accuracy and reliability of
the data collected during the experiment.
Flow Control: Set up control mechanisms to regulate flow rate
and ensure a consistent flow throughout the experiment. This
may involve adjusting the pump speed or using valves to control
the flow rate.
Visualization Techniques: Use visualization techniques such as
dye injection or particle seeding to visualize the flow patterns
within the flow chamber. This helps in identifying the transition
from laminar to turbulent flow.
