SPECIFICATION

  • The apparatus comprises a clear acrylic cylinder on a plinth designed to produce and measure free and forced vortices.
  • The free vortex is generated by water discharging through an interchangeable orifice in the base of the cylinder,
  • The resulting profile is measured using a combined calliper and depth scale.
  • The forced vortex is induced by a paddle in the base of the cylinder, which is rotated by jets of water.
  • The profile of the forced vortex is determined using a series of depth gauges.
  • Velocity at any point in the free or forced vortices may be measured using the appropriate pitot tube supplied.
  • Technical data tank diameter:±200mm
  • Height to overflow point:180mm
  • Orifice diameters:8, 16 and 24mm
  • Forced vortex measuring probes distance from centre:0, 30, 50, 70, 90 and 110mm
  • Pitot tubes having measuring point (nose) at:15, 25 or 30mm
