push vs pull vis a vis rudders

It consists of an inclined board with side rails to stop the water film dripping off. A reservoir at the top, into which water from a hose pipe flows, and a sump at the other end to lead the waste water to a drain. At the top of the incline, permanganate crystals trail stream lines down the incline. ..... A refinement of this setup is the Heale-Shaw device, in which the flow is enclosed between two parallel transparent plates. The models are the same thickness as the spacers that close the sides. This keeps the flow truly 2D without any surface waves to distub it. Rodney Myrvaagnes NYC That's the one; the Helle-Shaw cell. Used for flow visualization - in flame propagation, porous seepage, and regular aero- and hydrodynamic flow study. Brian W |
