A flow visualization test was performed using a frequency controlled pump to feed a clear model with three flow meters downstream.\u00a0 Each meter allowed a different flow rate to be measured. This video shows fluorescent particles flowing through the meter with a laser illuminating them. Using the flow visualization results, Flometrics was able to identify and correct problem that the CFD study did not reveal.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 40px; height: 40px;\"><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_video title=&#8221;Shadowgraph of Supersonic Nozzle&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/YEm9vN0gd7w&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Flometrics designed and developed a supersonic nozzle that is capable of delivering a jet velocity of 600 m\/s to penetrate and break up soil at pulse lengths of 200 ms.\u00a0 Flometrics fabricated the nozzle and tested it to confirm its performance matched the values found using computational fluid dynamics.\u00a0 This video shows the supersonic nozzle delivering air at 300 psi.\u00a0 The velocity creates a series of \u201cMach or Shock Diamonds\u201d as it exits the nozzle.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 40px; height: 40px;\"><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_video title=&#8221;Pipe With Cross Flow&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/ADc0aWk1O0s&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Flometrics conducted a study of dual horizontally opposing jets in cross flow at different momentum flux ratios in water using laser sheet light flow visualization.
