In this project, we will explore different approaches in studying fluid flows. We will review the potential flow theory and its derivations and assumptions. Further, simulations will be carried out to understand and visualize example flow fields. Lastly, the real behavior of such flows will be investigated using a simple experimental setup involving a smoke generator.
Analytical
External Flow around a Cylinder
Potential Flow Theory
Let's consider the super positioning of an inviscid, irrotational, incompressible and steady uniform flow and a doublet. What does this combination represent?
Figure 1. Superposition of Basic, Plane Potential Flows to represent a flow around a circular cylinder.
(Task# 1) Show the superimposed flow equations of stream and velocity potential. Then derive the equations of the velocity components, pressure distribution on the cylinder surface, and the resultant force. Find the location of the stagnation points. Discuss the assumptions and any limitations.
In this project, we will explore different
