The momentum equations for inviscid potential flow are:
Bernoulli equation:
Exercise:
Answer the following questions:
- How did I get this?
- Does this require points to be along the same streamline?
- Does this require the flow to be steady?
- Does this require the fluid to be inviscid?
- Does this require the flow to be incompressible?
- How about compressible isentropic flows?
Exercise:
Draw the isobars for ideal stagnation point flow (u,v)= a(x,-y).
The governing equations for incompressible viscous potential flow are:
Exercise:
How big is the viscous term? How come there are incompressible flows that are not potential flows?
