Question: 3 . 3 8 . Consider the flow around the quonset hut shown in Fig. P 3 . 3 8 to be represented by superimposing

3.38. Consider the flow around the quonset hut shown in Fig. P3.38 to be represented by superimposing a uniform flow and a doublet. Assume steady, incompressible, potential flow. The ground plane is represented by the plane of symmetry and the hut by the upper half of the cylinder. The free-stream velocity is 175kmh; the radius R0 of the hut is 6 m . The door is not well sealed, and the static pressure inside the hut is equal to that on the outer surface of the hut, where the door is located.
(a) If the door to the hut is located at ground level (i.e., at the stagnation point), what is the net lift acting on the hut? What is the lift coefficient?
(b) Where should the door be located (i.e., at what angle 0 relative to the ground) so that the net force on the hut will vanish?
For both parts of the problem, the opening is very small compared to the radius R0. Thus, the pressure on the door is essentially constant and equal to the value of the angle 0 at which the door is located. Assume that the wall is negligibly thin.
