Abstract

The continuously soap film tunnel is a device suitable for experimental studies of the hydrodynamic evaluation of cross sections. The velocity of the undisturbed film is among the important flow parameters of these particular devices. This paper suggests an indirect method for quickly estimating the velocity of vertically falling soap films.
