Real Flows Flashcards
When and where are viscous effects important?
asd
What kind of different types of drag exist?
There exists two types of drag
-pressure drag: Due to the pressure distribution in the drag direction.
-skin friction drag: Due to the skin friction distribution along the boundary.
What is the influence of Re on the drag?
asd
What is the influence of shape on the drag?
asd
What are boundary layers?
asd
What type of different boundary layers and regions exist?
asd
What are the differences between a laminar and turbulent boundary layer?
asd
What is wall shear stress and why is it important?
asd
Boundary layer seperation, why and consequences?
asd
What drag dominates a bluff/blunt body?
Pressure drag.
What is a bluff/blunt body?
plate perpendicular to flow
What is a slender body?
Plate aligned with flow
What drag dominaties a slender body?
Skin friction drag.
What is the influence of form on the drag?
asd
What can be said about the wake behind a body?
- The wake widens
2. The velocity deficit decreases.
What can be said about the effects of a body in a flow at different Re?
At lower Re the body can be sensed earlier in the flow.
At lower Re the boundary layer is also larger.
Consider a laminar and turbulent boundary layer with the same boundary layer height:
a) tau_turb(y=0) < tau_lam(y=0)
b) tau_turb(y=0) = tau_lam(y=0)
c) tau_turb(y=0) > tau_lam(y=0)
c)
The velocity gradient for the turbulent boundary layer is larger than the laminar boundary layer
tau=mu*partial(u)/partial(y)
What is a condition on the pressure for seperation?
Seperation can only accure in region with an adverse pressure gradient.
What is an adverse pressure gradient?
dp/dx>0
The pressure is increasing in the flow direction
What can be said about the velocity gradient at a seperation point?
du/dy (@y=0)=0
Which boundary layer seperates around a cylinder first?
The laminar boundary layers seperation point occurs earlier than the turbulent boundary layer.
Which wake is wider behind a cylinder? A laminar boundary layer or a laminar boundary layer?
The wake from a laminar boundary layer is wider.
Recall the five seperation flows around a cylinder at different Re.
asd
What happens with the seperation point for a boundary layer for a cylinder with increasing Re.
A. Re~1 No seperation.
B. Re~10 Seperation at theta=pi/2
C. Re~100 Turbulent BL, seperation point moves down stream
D. Re~10000 Turbulent BL, seperation point moves upstream.
E. Re~500000 Drag crisis. (drag minimum)
