In a two-dimensional frictionless, incompressible \(\left(\rho=1500 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\) flow, the velocity field in meters per second is given by \(\vec{V}=(A x+B y) \hat{i}+(B x-A y) \hat{j} ;\) the coordinates are measured in meters, and \(A=4 \mathrm{s}^{-1}\) and \(B=2 \mathrm{s}^{-1}\). The pressure is \(p_{0}=200 \mathrm{kPa}\) at point \((x, y)=(0,0) .\) Obtain an expression for the pressure field, \(p(x, y)\) in terms of \(p_{0}, A,\) and \(B,\) and evaluate at point \((x, y)=(2,2)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The pressure field \(p(x, y)\) would be a function of the fluid density \(\rho\), velocity field constants \(A\) and \(B\), and pressure at origin \(p_0\). This is obtained by integrating the Euler's equations over \(x\) and \(y\) respectively. The pressure at point (2,2) is then evaluated by substituting \(x=2\) and \(y=2\) into the derived expression for \(p(x, y)\).

Step by step solution

01

Derive Euler's equation for incompressible flow in the x and y directions

Euler's equation in vector format expresses the change in pressure as an opposite change in the kinetic energy of the fluid. In component form, Euler's equation for an incompressible static fluid where the only force is pressure is \[\frac{dp}{dx} = - \rho \frac{du}{dt} = - \rho u \frac{du}{dx} \quad (1)\]\[\frac{dp}{dy} = - \rho v \frac{dv}{dy} \quad (2)\]Take \(u=Ax+By\) and \(v =Bx-Ay\) as velocity components in the \(x\) and \(y\) directions respectively.
02

Integrate the Euler's equations to obtain the pressure field

To get the pressure field \(p(x,y)\), integrate the derived equations (1) and (2) over \(x\) and \(y\) with respect to the pressure, which yields \(p(x, y)\).Integration of equation (1) over \(x\):\[\int dp = -\rho \int u dx\]Integration of equation (2) over \(y\):\[\int dp = -\rho \int v dy\]
03

Calculate pressure at point (2,2)

Substitute the values of u and v obtained in Step 1 into the equations obtained in Step 2, and evaluate the pressure at \((x, y) = (2,2)\). Applying the given initial condition, \(p(0,0) = p_{0}\), for both integrations, evaluates the constant of integration.

The velocity distribution in a two-dimensional steady flow field in the \(x y\) plane is \(\vec{V}=(A x-B) \hat{i}+(C-A y) \hat{j}\) where \(A=2 \mathrm{s}^{-1}, B=5 \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1},\) and \(\mathrm{C}=3 \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1} ;\) the coordinates are measured in meters, and the body force distribution is \(\vec{g}=-g \hat{k} .\) Does the velocity field represent the flow of an incompressible fluid? Find the stagnation point of the flow field. Obtain an expression for the pressure gradient in the flow field. Evaluate the difference in pressure between point \((x, y)=(1,3)\) and the origin, if the density is \(1.2 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\)

An incompressible liquid with negligible viscosity and density \(\rho=1.75\) slug/ft \(^{3}\) flows steadily through a horizontal pipe. The pipe cross- section area linearly varies from 15 in \(^{2}\) to 2.5 in \(^{2}\) over a length of 10 feet. Develop an expression for and plot the pressure gradient and pressure versus position along the pipe, if the inlet centerline velocity is \(5 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) and inlet pressure is 35 psi. What is the exit pressure? Hint: Use relation \\[ u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left(u^{2}\right) \\]

Consider the flow field presented by the potential function $\phi=x^{5}-10 x^{3} y^{2}+5 x y^{4}-x^{2}+y^{2} .$ Verify that this is an incompressible flow, and obtain the corresponding stream function.

The velocity field for a plane vortex sink is given by \(\vec{V}=(-q / 2 \pi r) \hat{e}_{r}+(K / 2 \pi r) \hat{e}_{\theta}, \quad\) where \(\quad q=2 \quad \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{m} \quad\) and \(K=1 \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{m} .\) The fluid density is \(1000 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} .\) Find the acceleration at \((1,0),(1, \pi / 2),\) and \((2,0) .\) Evaluate \(\nabla p\) under the same conditions.

Show that any differentiable function \(f(z)\) of the complex number \(z=x+i y\) leads to a valid potential (the real part of \(f\), and a corresponding stream function (the negative of the imaginary part of \(f\) ) of an incompressible, irrotational flow. To do so, prove using the chain rule that \(f(z)\) automatically satisfies the Laplace equation. Then show that \(d f / d z=-u+i v\)
