Experimental Procedure:
Connect the smoke generator to the visualizing area via a pipe.
Place a body in the visualizing area, against which the air flow is to be visualized.
Make sure that the regulating valve on the vaporizer is initially closed.
Turn on the smoke generator.
Wait for a minute for the smoke generator to generate smoke.
Gradually open the regulating valve.
Visualize the air flow over the respective body. The flow is laminar if it is smooth. The flow
is turbulent if it is not smooth.
Take pictures and screenshots of the air flow and the way it is separated over the body.
Precautions:
Do not stand behind the wind tunnel while operating it.
Wait for few minutes to generate the smoke after switching on Smoke generator.
The tunnel must be vented to remove the smoke before further flow visualization can be
used.
To turn off the device, first close the regulating valve and wait until the remaining liquid has
been vaporized. After that, the device can be turned off. This prevents an uncontrolled
emission of liquid and smoke when the device is turned on again.
An oily residue is left on whatever the smoke touches.
Pressure taps must be protected to prevent clogging.
