Water Vortex

Earth & Home

★Exhibit Content: Vortex ★Interaction: Mechanical Interaction ★Operation: Quickly turn the water wheel and observe the formation of the vortex phenomenon. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of a display stand, a vortex generating device, a transparent container, etc. The vortex generating device is composed of a water pipe tangent to the transparent container. Quickly turning the handwheel causes the impeller to rotate rapidly. Since the water pipe is tangent to the outer circle of the container, a vortex quickly forms inside the container. ★Scientific Principle: A vortex has an important characteristic: on the same horizontal plane, the product of the flow velocity at a point and the radius at that point remains constant. That is, the closer to the center, the faster the flow velocity and the lower the pressure; the farther from the center, the slower the flow velocity and the higher the pressure. Therefore, the vortex has a centripetal suction effect. Utilizing this characteristic of vortices, people have made centrifugal dust collectors, centrifugal fuel injectors, cyclone combustion chambers, etc.
