Asked on 3rd January 2019 in Fluid dynamics.
On changing the equation to polar co-ordinates \begin{array}{l}x = r\cos \theta \\y = r\sin \theta \\{V_r} = u\cos \theta + v\sin \theta \\{V_\theta } = – u\sin \theta + v\cos \theta \end{array}\begin{array}{l}u = \frac{{4y}}{{({x^2} + {y^2})}} = \frac{{4r\sin \theta }}{{{r^2}}} = \frac{{4\sin \theta }}{r}\\v = \frac{{ – 4x}}{{({x^2} + {y^2})}} = \frac{{4r\cos \theta }}{{{r^2}}} = \frac{{ – 4\cos \theta }}{r}\\{V_r} = \frac{4}{r}\cos \theta \sin \theta – \frac{4}{r}\cos \theta \sin \theta = 0\\{V_\theta } = \frac{{ – 4}}{r}{\sin ^2}\theta – \frac{4}{r}{\cos ^2}\theta = \frac{{ – 4}}{r}\end{array}
Time rate of change of volume of a fluid element per unit volume is given as\begin{array}{l}\nabla .\mathop V\limits^ \to = \frac{1}{r}\frac{{\partial r{V_r}}}{{\partial r}} + \frac{1}{r}\frac{{\partial {V_\theta }}}{{\partial \theta }}\\\nabla .\mathop V\limits^ \to = \frac{1}{r}\frac{{\partial (0)}}{{\partial r}} + \frac{1}{r}\frac{{\partial \left( { – c/r} \right)}}{{\partial \theta }} = 0 + 0 = 0\end{array} (b) Vorticity = \begin{array}{l}\nabla \times \mathop V\limits^ \to = {e_z}\left[ {\frac{{\partial \left( { – c/r} \right)}}{{\partial r}} – \frac{c}{{{r^2}}} – \frac{1}{r}\frac{{\partial \left( 0 \right)}}{{\partial \theta }}} \right]\\ = {e_z}\left[ {\frac{c}{{{r^2}}} – \frac{c}{{{r^2}}} – 0} \right]\\ = 0\end{array}\nabla \times \mathop V\limits^ \to = 0 except at origin, since it is singular at origin.

Asked on 2nd January 2019 in Aerodynamics.
Let x = r\cos \theta ,\,y = r\sin \theta , therefore {x^2} + {y^2} = {r^2}. In polar- coordinates {V_r} = u\cos \theta + v\sin \theta and {V_\theta } = – u\sin \theta + v\cos \theta
Hence,
u = \frac{{5y}}{{{x^2} + {y^2}}} = \frac{{5r\sin \theta }}{{{r^2}}} = \frac{{5\sin \theta }}{r} , v = – \frac{{5x}}{{{x^2} + {y^2}}} = – \frac{{5r\cos \theta }}{{{r^2}}} = – \frac{{5\cos \theta }}{r}
{V_r} = \frac{{5\sin \theta }}{r}\left( {\cos \theta } \right) + \left( { – \frac{{5\cos \theta }}{r}} \right)\sin \theta = 0 , {V_\theta } = – \frac{{5\sin \theta }}{r}\sin \theta + \left( { – \frac{{5\cos \theta }}{r}} \right)\cos \theta = – \frac{5}{r}
V.ds = \left( {{V_r}{e_r} + {V_\theta }{e_\theta }} \right).\left( {dr{e_r} + rd\theta {e_\theta }} \right) = \left( {{V_r}dr + r{V_\theta }d\theta } \right) = 0 + r\left( { – \frac{5}{r}} \right)d\theta = – 5d\theta
Therefore, \tau = – \oint_c {V.ds} = – \int\limits_0^{2\pi } { – 5d\theta } = 5\int\limits_0^{2\pi } {d\theta } = 5 \times 2\pi \ = \,10\,{m^2}/s.Here, value of circulation, is independent of diameter of circular path.

Asked on 2nd January 2019 in Aerodynamics.
Location of center of pressure is given as {x_{cp}} = \left( {\frac{c}{4}} \right) – \frac{{M_{c/4}^\prime }}{{{L^{^\prime }}}}
Where{x_{cp}} is the distance of center of pressure from the leading edge of airfoil, and ‘c’ is the chord length .M_{c/4}^\prime is moment per unit span about quarter-chord point and {L^\prime } is the lift per unit span;\begin{array}{l}{x_{cp}} = \frac{c}{4} – \frac{{M_{c/4}^\prime }}{{{L^\prime }}}\\\frac{{{x_{cp}}}}{c} = \frac{1}{4} – \frac{{\left( {M_{c/4}^\prime /{q_\infty }{c^2}} \right)}}{{\left( {{L^\prime }/{q_\infty }c} \right)}}\end{array}\begin{array}{l} = \frac{1}{4} – \left( {\frac{{{c_{m,c/4}}}}{{{c_l}}}} \right)\\ = \frac{1}{4} – \left( {\frac{{ – 0.08}}{{0.80}}} \right)\\ = \frac{1}{4} + 0.1\\ = 0.25 + 0.1\\ = 0.35\end{array}Therefore, location of center of pressure is at 0.35 with respect to chord length.

Considering the flow to be inviscid and incompressible, Pressure coefficient {{\rm{C}}_{\rm{p}}} = 1 – {\left( {\frac{v}{{{v_\infty }}}} \right)^2} = 1 – {\left( {\frac{{150}}{{100}}} \right)^2} = – 1.25

Asked on 31st December 2018 in Aerodynamics.
For a uniform flow {V_\infty } = u = {\rm{constant}}\,\,{\rm{;}}\,\,\mathop V\limits^ \to = {V_\infty }\mathop i\limits^ \to Divergence of velocity field\nabla \cdot \mathop V\limits^ \to = \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}} + \frac{{\partial v}}{{\partial y}} + \frac{{\partial w}}{{\partial z}} = 0 + 0 + 0 = 0Therefore, it shows that it is a physically possible incompressible flow.
Also, curl of velocity field \nabla \times \mathop V\limits^ \to = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\mathop i\limits^ \to }&{\mathop j\limits^ \to }&{\mathop k\limits^ \to }\\{\frac{\partial }{{\partial x}}}&{\frac{\partial }{{\partial y}}}&{\frac{\partial }{{\partial z}}}\\u&v&w\end{array}} \right| = \mathop i\limits^ \to \left( {0 – 0} \right) – \mathop j\limits^ \to \left( {0 – \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}}} \right) + \mathop k\limits^ \to \left( {0 – \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial y}}} \right)\nabla \times \mathop V\limits^ \to = 0This shows that the flow is irrotational.

For a source flow, velocity \mathop V\limits^ \to = {V_r}\mathop {{e_r}}\limits^ \to = \frac{\Lambda }{{2\pi r}}\mathop {{e_r}}\limits^ \to In polar co-ordinates :, the curl of velocity field will be \nabla \cdot \mathop V\limits^ \to = \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial }{{\partial r}}\left( {r{V_r}} \right) + \frac{1}{r}\frac{{\partial {V_\theta }}}{{\partial \theta }}\nabla \cdot \mathop V\limits^ \to = \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial }{{\partial r}}\left[ {r\frac{\Lambda }{{2\pi r}}} \right] + \frac{1}{r}\frac{{\partial \left( 0 \right)}}{{\partial \theta }}\nabla \cdot \mathop V\limits^ \to = \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial }{{\partial r}}\left( {\frac{\Lambda }{{2\pi }}} \right) + 0 = 0Therefore, the flow is a physically possible incompressible flow, except at origin where r =0.
Also,\nabla \times \mathop V\limits^ \to = \frac{1}{r}\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\mathop {{e_r}}\limits^ \to }&{r\mathop {{e_\theta }}\limits^ \to }&{\mathop {{e_z}}\limits^ \to }\\{\frac{\partial }{{\partial r}}}&{\frac{\partial }{{\partial \theta }}}&{\frac{\partial }{{\partial z}}}\\{{V_r}}&{r{V_\theta }}&{{V_z}}\end{array}} \right| = \frac{1}{r}\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\mathop {{e_r}}\limits^ \to }&{r\mathop {{e_\theta }}\limits^ \to }&{\mathop {{e_z}}\limits^ \to }\\{\frac{\partial }{{\partial r}}}&{\frac{\partial }{{\partial \theta }}}&{\frac{\partial }{{\partial z}}}\\{\frac{\Lambda }{{2\pi r}}}&0&0\end{array}} \right|\nabla \times \mathop V\limits^ \to = – r\mathop {{e_\theta }}\limits^ \to \left( {\frac{{\partial 0}}{{\partial r}} – \frac{{\partial \Lambda /2\pi r}}{{\partial z}}} \right) + \mathop {{e_z}}\limits^ \to \left( {\frac{{\partial 0}}{{\partial r}} – \frac{{\partial \Lambda /2\pi r}}{{\partial \theta }}} \right) = 0Therefore, \nabla \times \mathop V\limits^ \to = 0 (everywhere in the flow).
