[0002] Currently, traditional fluid mechanics experimental equipment on the market generally suffers from drawbacks such as limited functionality, cumbersome pipe installation and disassembly, disorganized storage of spare pipes, and low levels of automation. Most experimental equipment can only complete a single type of experiment and cannot simultaneously perform multiple experiments such as friction resistance, local resistance, flow meter calibration, centrifugal pump performance, and fluid visualization demonstration; at the same time, the valves of conventional equipment are mostly manually adjustable, resulting in low control precision and making it impossible to achieve automated and precise control.
[0003] Furthermore, existing equipment struggles to simultaneously and clearly demonstrate multiple flow regimes, including laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow. Visualization of dynamic and static pressure energy conversion, irreversible energy loss, and localized abrupt changes in flow fields is poor. It also lacks sufficient experimental measurement parameters and verification dimensions, failing to meet the demands of modern comprehensive fluid mechanics teaching, multi-group control experiments, and data calculation and analysis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a comprehensive fluid mechanics experimental device that is highly integrated, easy to assemble and disassemble, highly automated, fully covers experimental functions, and offers excellent visualization.
