    10 Potential Flow 4

    Uploaded by

    rajal11
    This document discusses potential flows, specifically the superposition of basic potential flows. It covers combining a free vortex with a doublet and uniform flow to model flow past a rotating cylinder, combining a free vortex with a forced vortex to model a hurricane, and combining a free vortex with a sink to model a tornado. Examples are provided for calculating velocities and pressure differences for a hurricane and estimating velocity and pressure for a tornado model.

    Free Vortex + Doublet + Uniform Flow (Rotating Cylinder)

    The effect of adding a vortex is to


    upset the symmetry of flow about the
    horizontal diameter. Therefore, the
    pressure in the upper half of the
    cylinder is not balanced by the
    pressure in the lower half. This results
    in a net lift force acting laterally on the
    cylinder.
