- By using the expression for the shear stress derived in class (and in BSL), show that the shear force on asphere spinning at a constant angular velocity in a Stokes’ flow, is zero.This means that a neutrally buoyant sphere (weight equal buoyancy force) that is made to spin in aStokes’ flow, will neither rise nor fall, nor translate in any preferential direction in the (x-y) plane. expressions for velocity are: v_r (r,θ)= U_∞ [1-3R/2r+R^3/(2r^3 )] cosθ v_θ (r,θ)= -U_∞ [1-3R/4r-R^3/(4r^3 )] sinθ Where v_r and v_θ are the radial and angle velocity, U_∞ is the velocity of fluid coming to sphere which very faar away from the sphere. And R is the radius of sphere.arrow_forwardDuring the course, we have learned about the Bernoulli equation as well as rotational and irrotational flows. Answer the following problemsc.

- IBL, Flat Plate. Apply the integral boundary layer analysis to a flat plate turbulent flow as follows. Assume the turbulent profile u/U = (y/δ)1/6 to compute the momentum flux term on the RHS of IBL, but on the LHS of IBL, use the empirical wall shear stress, adapted from pipe flow: ?w = 0.0233 ⍴U2 (v/Uδ)1/4 where the kinematic viscosity ν = μ/⍴. It is necessary to use this empirical wall shear relation because the turbulent power law velocity profile blows up at the wall and cannot be used to evaluate the wall shear stress. Compute (a) (δ/x) as a function of Rex; (b) total drag coefficient, CD, L as a function of ReL; (c) If ReL = 6 x 107 compare values for this IBL CD,L and those empirical ones given in Table 9.1 for both smooth plate and transitional at Rex = 5 x 105 cases. Note: You must show all the algebra in evaluating the IBL to get full credit. Ans OM: (a) (δ/x) ~ 10-1/(Rex)1/5; (b) CD,L ~ 10-2/(ReL)1/5; (c) CD,IBL ~ 10-3; CD,Smooth ~ 10-3; CD,Trans ~ 10-3arrow_forwardWhat is the definition of a pathline?

A - According to Stokes' law, the larger the particles of solid particles, the greater the viscosity. B - The sedimentation velocity of particles in a suspension is inversely proportional to the diameter of the particles and directly proportional to the viscosity of the medium. C - The Stokes equation was based on an ideal condition, in which irregular particles in a little diluted suspension are deposited with turbulence and collision reinforcement, without affinity for the dispersing medium. D - According to Stokes' Law, the larger the suspended particle size, the greater the sedimentation velocity, considering the other constant factors.arrow_forward
