Measurement of Jet Forces

One of the most important subjects in fluid mechanics is analyzing and measuring of the force which is produced due to impact between water jet and a solid surface. During this impact, direction and value of velocity is changed, then there is a change in momentum. By changing linear momentum, a force will be created on the solid surface. This device includes a transparent tank and a vertical nozzle inside it. Water will be pumped into the nozzle with controlled flow rate and produces a water jet which makes an impact to a surface. The applied force to the solid surface will be measured by a mechanism installed on the tank.
