Vortices are usually shed from the rear of a cylinder, which are placed in a uniform flow at low speeds. The vortices alternatively leave the top and the bottom of the cylinder, as shown in figure, causing an alternating force normal because of generating a dimensionless relationship for Kármán vortex shedding frequency fk (1/s) as a function of free-stream speed V(m/s), fluid density r (kg/m3), fluid viscosity µ (kg/m.s), sound velocity c (m/s), surface roughness ɛ (m) and cylinder diameter D(m).

In the field of air pollution control, one often needs to sample the quality of a moving airstream. In such measurements a sampling probe is aligned with the flow as sketched in Fig. A suction pump draws air through the probe at volume flow rate V· as sketched. For accurate sampling, the air speed through the probe should be the same as that of the airstream (isokinetic sampling). However, if the applied suction is too large, as sketched in Fig, the air speed through the probe is greater than that of the airstream (super iso kinetic sampling). For simplicity consider a two-dimensional case in which the sampling probe height is h = 4.58 mm and its width is W = 39.5 mm. The values of the stream function corresponding to the lower and upper dividing streamlines are ?l = 0.093 m2/s and ?u = 0.150 m2/s, respectively. Calculate the volume flow rate through the probe (in units of m3/s) and the average speed of the air sucked through the probe.

Consider laminar flow through a long section of pipe, as in Fig. For laminar flow it turns out that wall roughness is not a relevant parameter unless ? is very large.

If pipe diameter is doubled, all else being equal, by what factor will volume flow rate increase? Use dimensional analysis.
