Popis: The flow behavior of non-Newtonian fluids is of great interest looking at gel fuels for rocket applications; especially the pressure loss of gel flows wants to be known to design the propellant feeding system. Since a major part of the pressure loss occurs in complex geometries like injectors or valves, a test setup was designed to examine the pressure loss and behaviour of gel flows. The described test setup can be equipped with different test geometries. The measuring sections have an optical access to examine the flow with PIV; furthermore pressure and temperature can be measured on various positions.
