Airflow and Aerodynamics

Investigation of the fundamentals of airflow and simple aerodynamic experimental procedures is made both simple and safe with the PA Hilton Airflow System F100.

The system, a small footprint, high volume, high pressure centrifugal fan with adjustable flow control, inlet and outlet coupling, is available with an extensive range of optional accessories which make the range a versatile and economic investment.

These accessories allow investigation of Bernoulli’s equation, drag forces on various shapes, investigation of a turbulent jet and of boundary layer development, pressure distribution of flow around a bend, fan performance characteristics, jet attachment, pressure distribution around a cylinder and around an aerofoil, flow visualisation studies and air flow measurement methods.

The complete range is suitable for unsupervised student operation and responds immediately to system changes allowing safe and efficient use of laboratory time.
