7.9. You can assume that the film thickness is so small that
the curvature of the pipe wall can be ignored. In that case, it
becomes 2D steady flow in the -direction along a flat wall of
spanwise length in the -direction. Take the -axis
downwards. Assume (vertical streamlines), and
(two-dimensional flow), and that . Everything
else must be derived; derive both pressure and velocity field. Do
not ignore gravity. For the boundary conditions at the free
surface, assume that the liquid meets air of zero density and
constant pressure there. Air of zero density cannot exert
nonzero tangential forces. Also write appropriate boundary
conditions where the fluid meets the cylinder surface.
7.6. Do not ignore gravity, but assume the pipe is horizontal.
Do not use the effective pressure. Careful, the gravity vector is
not constant in polar coordinates. Do not ignore the pressure
gradients: assume the pressure can be any function
and derive anything else. Merely assume that
the pressure distribution at the end of the pipe and rod combination
is the same as the one at the start. For the velocity assume
and . Anything else must be derived.
Give both velocity and pressure field.
For the case of question 7.6, what is the force required to pull
the rod through the axis, per unit length? In 7.9, (previous
homework), what is the net downward shear force on the pipe? Does
the simple answer surprise you? Why not?
7.1a Assume only that the cylindrical velocity components only
depend on ,
, that
is arbitrary, and that the pipe is horizontal.
Use the effective pressure. Show that two velocity components must
be zero. (You should be able to show that the effective pressure is
independent of from the appropriate momentum equation by
noting that at must be the same as at ;
otherwise just assume it is. Also note that the velocity can
obviously not be infinitely large on the pipe centerline.)
7.1b Continuing the previous question, derive the velocity and
pressure fields.
