Simple Rheoscopic Flows Used in Teaching Fluid Mechanics
Duda, D. ; Yanovych, Vitalii ; Uruba, Václav
Four simple demonstration experiments are presented. They are used as a support in the teaching of Fluid Mechanics I (a compulsory lecture at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen). All mentioned experiments use the rheoscopic fluid obtained as a water solution of mica powder to visualize the flow in a esthetic way, which, as we hope, has a potential to attract students attention. The experiments are: demonstration of Bernoulli equation in a widening and narrowing channel, Taylor-Couette flow, the effect of viscosity to the scales and decay of turbulence, and the Galilean transformation inside an axial compressor.
