Experimental Procedure

1- Adjust the light assembly by means of the clamps until the light guide obtains a desirable position within the channel.
2- Place the anode assembly in position within the working section of the channel immediately downstream of the light guide.
3- Place the cathode assembly in a central position in the channel
4- Switch on the SUPPLY, PUMP and LAMP switches.
5- Adjust the pump delivery valve to provide a fluid flow, which is commensurate with stable two-dimensional conditions.
6- Place the object over the flow will be visualized and observed the streamlines in the flow.
Problem We Have At Setup the Experiment
1-   We found cut off in cathode wire so we welded it
2- We didn't found suitable place to take results in so we have to bring black cover and supports and we set a dark place
Data Analysis and Reporting Requirements
The streamlines are symmetric about the x-axis in front of the body for the cylindrical model. Streamlines are tangent to the direction flow at every point in the flow field at a given instant. Also flow separate when meet an obstacle in viscous flow, but not in inviscid flow. By the way, they are not symmetric about the x-axis behind the body for the cylindrical model according to our observations. Vortex occurs behind the cylindrical model in viscous flow. The streamlines are symmetric about the x-axis in front of the body for the aerofoil model. Streamlines are tangent to the direction flow at every point in the flow field at a given instant. They are also symmetric about the x-axis behind the body for the aerofoil model according to our observations. Vortex does not occur
                                                                                                          
Conclusion:-
            
    The flow over along cylinder with its axis parallel to the mean stream results in the development of a very thick boundary layer compared to cylinder diameter. This result has been document in several journals.
     At this stage of the project the experimental data is recorded on a standard VHS type and detailed analysis is required to give some insight into the flow behavior.
