Question 34
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
The inviscid, incompressible flow field resulting from a uniform flow past a circular cylinder of radius
centered at the origin is given by:
where
and
are the radial and azimuthal velocity components in polar coordinates,
, as shown in the figure.
is the free stream speed. Ignore the effects of gravity. The azimuthal location (in the first quadrant) on the cylinder at which the pressure coefficient is zero is ______ degrees (round off to the nearest integer).Log in to check the answer
