Free and Forced Vortex: Rotating Paddle
This equipment is designed to produce and measure free and forced vortices. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N (separately supplied).
The equipment consists of a clear acrylic cylinder on a plinth. The free vortex is generated by water discharging
through an interchangeable orifice at the base of the cylinder and the resulting profile is measured by a combined caliper and depth scale. The forced vortex is generated by a paddle at the base of the cylinder which is rotated by jets of water, and the profile is measured by a series of depth gauges. The velocity at any point in the free and forced vortices may be measured using a pitot tube.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
- Determination of the surface profile of a free and forced vortices Determination of velocity
- Determination of velocity
TECHNICAL DATA

Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesFlow Through an Orifice
This flow study equipment allows measurement of contraction and velocity coefficients, as well as discharge coefficient for an orifice discharge. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N (separately supplied).
It consists of a removable clear acrylic cylinder with adjustable constant head. Water is admitted to the cylinder via a discharge head. An adjustable overflow allows various constant heads for the test. An orifice is fitted at the bottom of the cylinder flush with the base plate. A traverse assembly is provided below the cylinder. Attached to this assembly is a wire and a pitot tube. The wire is to measure the jet diameter hence the vena contracta diameter and the pitot tube is to measure the jet velocity. The velocity head on pitot tube and total head due to tank water level are indicated on manometer tubes. The apparatus rests on adjustable footings and a bull’s eye level is provided.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Determination of contraction and velocity coefficients
- Calculation of discharge coefficient
- Study of the outlet jet (diameter, velocity)
