6.67 A body having the general shape of a half-body is placed in a stream of fluid. At a great distance
upstream the velocity is U as shown in Fig. P6.67. Show how a measurement of the differential
pressure between the stagnation point and point A can be used to predict the free-stream velocity, U.
Express the pressure differential in terms of U and fluid density. Neglect body forces and assume that
the fluid is nonviscous and incompressible.

6.75 Water flows around a 6-ft-diameter bridge pier with a velocity of 12 ft/s. Estimate the force (per
unit length) that the water exerts on the pier. Assume that the flow can be approximated as an ideal
fluid flow around the front half of the cylinder, but due to flow separation (see Video V6.8), the
average pressure on the rear half is constant and approximately equal to 12 the pressure at point A
(see Fig. P6.75).

6.80 A long porous pipe runs parallel to a horizontal plane surface as shown in Fig. P6.80. The
longitudinal axis of the pipe is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Water flows radially from the
pipe at a rate of 0.5 p ft3/s per foot of pipe. Determine the difference in pressure (in lb/ft 2) between
point B and point A. The flow from the pipe may be approximated by a two-dimensional source. Hint:
To develop the stream function or velocity potential for this type of flow, place (symmetrically) another
equal source on the other side of the wall. With this combination there is no flow across the x axis, and
this axis can be replaced with a solid boundary. This technique is called the method of images.

xy at the point x = 0.5 m,

6.94 An incompressible, viscous fluid is placed between horizontal infinite, parallel plates as is shown
in Fig. P6.94. The two plates move in opposite directions with constant velocities, U1 and U2, as shown.
The pressure gradient in the x direction is zero, and the only body force is due to the fluid weight. Use
the NavierStokes equations to derive an expression for the velocity distribution between the plates.
Assume laminar flow.

6.95 Two immiscible, incompressible, viscous fluids having the same densities but different viscosities
are contained between
two infinite, horizontal, parallel plates (Fig. P6.95). The bottom plate is fixed, and the upper plate
moves with a constant velocity
U. Determine the velocity at the interface. Express your answer in terms of U, 1, and 2. The motion of
the fluid is caused entirely by the movement of the upper plate; that is, there is no pressure gradient in
the x direction. The fluid velocity and shearing stress are continuous across the interface between the
two fluids. Assume laminar flow.

6.105 An infinitely long, solid, vertical cylinder of radius R is located in an infinite mass of an
incompressible fluid. Start with the NavierStokes equation in the u direction and derive an expression
for the velocity distribution for the steady-flow case in which the cylinder is rotating about a fixed axis
with a constant angular velocity v. You need not consider body forces. Assume that the flow is
axisymmetric and the fluid is at rest at infinity.
