Abstract :
The simulation of speed of speed profiles in turbulent flows is a fluodynamic problem that is still open. Even if the increasing of the performance of personal computers allows the adoption of numerical techniques, in this kind of application the methods based on electrical analogies can give interesting results. In this paper a system based on the electrolytic tank is presented and its performance has been evaluated by an experimental characterization.
