Description

Various measurements with positive pressure flow meters, Plymouth University Marine Building, 22nd September 2015. The camera didn't record a soundtrack, so the explanatory commentary is missing. If you're studying Plymouth University module "Fluid Mechanics 1" (HYFM230) in 2015-2016, I'll talk you through it in the lecture on 6th October 2015. I'm hoping to overdub it with commentary at a later date. [(CC) BY-NC-SA 2.0 UK]
