(Kinematics of fluid)
1. For a fluid flow through a divergent pipe of length L having inlet and
outlet radii of R1 and R2 respectively and a constant flow rate of Q,
assuming the velocity to be axial and uniform at any cross section, the
acceleration at the exit is:
Ans:
Also calculate the linear strain rates in x and y directions, and calculate the
ε
shear strain rate xy .
Combine the result and write the 2D strain tensor. Are the xy axes principal
axes?
10. A fluid flows past a circular cylinder of radius a with an upstream speed
of V0 as shown in fig. A more advanced theory
indicates that if viscous effects are negligible,
the velocity of fluid along the surface of the
cylinder is given by V=V0 sinθ. Determine the
streamline and normal components of
acceleration on the surface of the cylinder as a
function of V0, a, and θ.
Ans: as=4(v02sinθcosθ)/a; an=4(v02sin2 θ)/a
