Explain why such a flow might be relevant to flow about a corner.
What is the (effective) pressure on the positive -axis? Comment
on what happens to the pressure when .
Find the polar velocity components and pressure of the source
flow
where is a constant. Show that this is a valid solution of the
Navier Stokes equations for the flow outside a cylindrical balloon
whose radius is expanding according to the relationship
Then show that this means that the cross sectional area of the balloon
is linearly increasing with time.
Show that the potential flow
where is not a constant but equal to is an exact
solution of the viscous Navier-Stokes equation for flow around a
balloon whose radius expands as . Then find the pressure,
using the correct Bernoulli equation for an unsteady potential
flow. Comment on the pressure far from the balloon.
In the familiar potential flow around a cylinder, the term
produces the incoming uniform flow and the term produces
the flow induced by the cylinder. That means that if the fluid is at rest at infinity and it is the cylinder that moves,
the potential is given by
where is the position of the center of the cylinder on the
-axis. Find the time derivative
and the
spatial derivative
. Watch it: both
and in depend on time. Now evaluate these
derivatives on the surface of the cylinder where
. Then find
as the real part of
. Also find the square
magnitude of the velocity as , where is the
complex conjugate of . Use this to find the pressure on the
surface of the cylinder. Answer:
From the pressure of the previous question, find the force on
the cylinder. Show that it implies that to accelerate the cylinder,
in addition to the force required to accelerate the cylinder itself,
there will be an additional force as if an additional mass equal to
an amount of water with the volume of the cylinder also must be
accelerated. Explain why an apparent mass effect must be there on
behalf of the second law of thermodynamics.
