What is an analogy to the Biot Sarvat Law in Electromagnetism?
Amperes Law
What is Kelvin Helmholtz instability?
- A perturbed vortex sheet evolves nonlinearly, leading to wave steepening and vortex roll-up.
- This instability explains the formation of turbulence in shear layers.
What are the Helmholtz Theorems?
Vortex lines are material lines
Irrotational fluid points remain irrotational
Vortex tubes’ circulation remains constant
What is Kelvins theorems?
Kelvin’s Theorem: In an inviscid, barotropic fluid, the circulation of a closed material curve remains constant with time, assuming the acting volume force has a potential.
What do the Kutta Jowkowski Equations Give?
This equation provides the result for the resulting pressure force on a closed, two-dimensional body exposed to a free stream.
What is the formula for the pressure coefficient?
(p - p_infinity)/ [(rho/2)U_infinity^2]
