Concept explainers
An incompressible viscous flow is contained between two parallel plates separated from each other by distance b. The flow is caused by the movement of the upper plate which has a velocity U, while the bottom plate is fixed. If U = 9.5 m/s and b = 3.2 cm, and there is no pressure gradient in the flow direction.
a) Start with Navier-Stokes equations and determine the velocity at the point x = 7 cm and y= 0.56 cm.
b) Calculate the magnitude of the vorticity at the same point.
c) Calculate the rate of angular deformation at the same point.
Work to 4 significant digits. Enter all values using base units or their combinations, i.e. m, m/s, Pa, N. Do not use multiples as e.g. mm, kPa.
You can use values with exponents, such as 0.12e3.

A pitot probe is used to measure the velocity profile in the viscous region downstream of the wing section as shown in the figure. The measured velocity profile is u(z) = U∞ - (U/2) cos[TZ/(2w)] for -w ≤ z ≤w. Here, w = 0.02c. Assuming a constant pressure p = po along the streamlines (dashed lines in the figure) and across the wake where the velocity was measured, calculate the friction drag coefficient Cp, of the wing section.
