Question: ( b ) For 2 D steady, inviscid and incompressible flow past a rotating cylinder subjected to uniform free - stream velocity U , the

(b) For 2D steady, inviscid and incompressible flow past a rotating cylinder subjected to uniform free-stream velocity U, the stream-function is given as
=Usin(r-a2r)+a2ln(ra)
where a is the radius of the cylinder and is the angular speed of the rotating cylinder. Obtain the expression for the coefficient of pressure cp=(p-p)12U2 on the surface of the cylinder. Also obtain an expression for the lift coefficient cL of this cylinder. (Clarification: Lift is the component of the aerodynamic force which is perpendicular to the free-stream flow direction)
