Tutorial Potential Flows

Uploaded by

Prya Suthan Sathiananthan

This document contains two problems involving potential flows. The first problem models a twister using a sink and free vortex, asking to calculate the sink strength, pressure at a given radius, and angle between streamlines and circles from the center. The second problem models a half Rankine body using a uniform flow and source, asking to calculate the source strength, distances a and h, and velocity at point A.

Tutorial 4 Potential Flows


1.

Superposition between a sink and a free vortex can be used to model a twister as shown
in Fig. T1. If the vortex circulation is 8400 m2/s and pressure at radius r = 40 m from
the centre of the twister is 2 kPa below the far field (atmospheric) pressure, calculate:
(a)
(b)
(c)

Strength of the sink m,


Pressure at radius r = 15 m,
Angle which is formed between the streamline and any circles made from the
centre of the twister (see Fig. T1).

Assume that the air flow is inviscid and this phenomena occurs at sea level, where air
density is = 1.225 kg/m3.

Answer:
(a) 11.6 10 3 m 2 /s ;
(b) 14.2 kPa;
(c) = 54.1 .
