91Ó°ÊÓ

\(\mathrm{A}\) horizontal flow of water is described by the velocity field \(\vec{V}=(-A x+B t) \hat{i}+(A y+B t) \hat{j},\) where \(A=1 \mathrm{s}^{-1}\) and \(B=2 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}, x\) and \(y\) are in meters, and \(t\) is in seconds. Find expressions for the local acceleration, the convective acceleration, and the total acceleration. Evaluate these at point (1,2) at \(t=5\) seconds. Evaluate \(\nabla p\) at the same point and time.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The local acceleration at (x=1, y=2) at time t=5 seconds is 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} m/s², the convective acceleration at the same point and time is -4\hat{i} - 7\hat{j} m/s², and the total acceleration is 11\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} m/s². The gradient of pressure can't be calculated without a function for the pressure.

Step by step solution

01

Calculating Local Acceleration

The local acceleration \( a_l \) is calculated by differentiating \( \vec{V} \) with respect to time \( t \). Thus: \( a_l = \frac{d \vec{V}}{d t} \). After differentiating we get: \( a_l=\frac{d(-A x+B t)}{d t} \hat{i}+\frac{d(A y+B t)}{d t} \hat{j} = B\hat{i} + B\hat{j} \).
02

Calculating Convective Acceleration

The convective acceleration \( a_c \) is calculated by taking the dot product of velocity \( \vec{V} \) and the gradient of velocity. Thus: \( a_c = \vec{V} \cdot \nabla \vec{V} \). After performing the operation we get: \( a_c=(-A x+B t)(-A)+(-A y+B t)(A) = -A^2 x + B A t \hat{i} - A^2 y + B A t \hat{j} \).
03

Calculating Total Acceleration

The total acceleration \( a_t \) is the sum of local acceleration \( a_l \) and convective acceleration \( a_c \). Thus: \( a_t = a_l + a_c = (B\hat{i} + B\hat{j}) + (-A^2 x + B A t \hat{i} - A^2 y + B A t \hat{j}) = (B- A^2 x + B A t)\hat{i} + (B - A^2y + B A t)\hat{j} \).
04

Evaluating Accelerations at given point and time

Substitute the given point (x=1, y=2) and time t=5 into the above derivations for accelerations. After substituting, we get: \( a_l = B\hat{i} + B\hat{j} = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} \) m/s², \( a_c = -A^2 x + B A t \hat{i} - A^2 y + B A t \hat{j} = (1 - 5)\hat{i} + (-2 - 5)\hat{j} = -4\hat{i} - 7\hat{j} \) m/s², \( a_t = (B- A^2 x + B A t)\hat{i} + (B - A^2y + B A t)\hat{j} = ( 2 - 1 + 10)\hat{i} + (2 - 4 + 10)\hat{j} = 11\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} \) m/s².
05

Evaluating Pressure Gradient

In fluid dynamics, pressure is a product of the velocity field, and hence, we would need to know the function form of pressure to calculate its gradient. Without additional information regarding the pressure function, we can't calculate the gradient. Hence, \( \nabla p \) can't be calculated.

In a laboratory experiment, water flows radially outward at moderate speed through the space between circular plane parallel disks. The perimeter of the disks is open to the atmosphere. The disks have diameter \(D=150 \mathrm{mm}\) and the spacing between the disks is \(h=0.8 \mathrm{mm} .\) The measured mass flow rate of water is \(\dot{m}=305 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{s}\). Assuming frictionless flow in the space between the disks, estimate the theoretical static pressure between the disks at radius \(r=50 \mathrm{mm} .\) In the laboratory situation, where some friction is present, would the pressure measured at the same location be above or below the theoretical value? Why?

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 \((x, y)=(2,2)\)

Heavy weights can be moved with relative ease on air cushions by using a load pallet as shown. Air is supplied from the plenum through porous surface \(A B .\) It enters the gap vertically at uniform speed, \(q\). Once in the gap, all air flows in the positive \(x\) direction (there is no flow across the plane at \(x=0\) ). Assume air flow in the gap is incompressible and uniform at each cross section, with speed \(u(x),\) as shown in the enlarged view. Although the gap is narrow \((h \ll L)\) neglect frictional effects as a first approximation. Use a suitably chosen control volume to show that \(u(x)=q x / h\) in the gap. Calculate the acceleration of a fluid particle in the gap. Evaluate the pressure gradient, \(\partial p / \partial x,\) and sketch the pressure distribution within the gap. Be sure to indicate the pressure at \(x=L\)

A horizontal axisymmetric jet of air with 0.4 in. diameter strikes a stationary vertical disk of 7.5 in. diameter. The jet speed is \(225 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) at the nozzle exit. A manometer is connected to the center of the disk. Calculate (a) the deflection, if the manometer liquid has \(\mathrm{SG}=1.75,(\mathrm{b})\) the force exerted by the jet on the disk, and (c) the force exerted on the disk if it is assumed that the stagnation pressure acts on the entire forward surface of the disk. Sketch the streamline pattern and plot the distribution of pressure on the face of the disk.

The \(\tan \mathrm{k},\) of diameter \(D,\) has a well-rounded nozzle with diameter \(d .\) At \(t=0,\) the water level is at height \(h_{0} .\) Develop an expression for dimensionless water height, \(h / h_{0},\) at any later time. For \(D / d=10,\) plot \(h / h_{0}\) as a function of time with \(h_{0}\) as a parameter for \(0.1 \leq h_{0} \leq 1 \mathrm{m} .\) For \(h_{0}=1 \mathrm{m},\) plot \(h / h_{0}\) as a function of time with \(D / d\) as a parameter for \(2 \leq D / d \leq 10\)
