ULLOA-AUQUI, Néstor-A. et al. Designing a system to generate water jet illuminated laminar flow. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.3, pp.181-187. ISSN 1815-5944.

A system to generate water jet illuminated laminar flow was successfully designed and fabricated, the same aims to develop skills and capabilities in the laboratory practices fluids when flow variation for different heights and ranges are made and watch the water particles traveling in laminar flow, phenomenon which occurs by lighting the whole jet technology with fiber optics and a RGB led enhancer.  The results obtained allow perform projects in the area of ornamentation, the same that can be used creatively in parks, hotels, swimming pools and fountains.  The study begins with the determination of the equations of momentum, energy balance and parabolic movement that served to the hydraulic calculation and selection of the pump flow and nozzle device.

Keywords : flow; laminar; waterjet; optical fiber; nozzle.
