A two-dimensional converging duct is being designed for a high-speed wind tunnel. The bottom wall of the duct is to be flat and horizontal, and the top wall is to be curved in such a way that the axial wind speed u increases approximately linearly from u1 = 100 m/s at section (1) to u2 = 300 m/s at section 2. Meanwhile, the air density ? is to decrease approximately linearly from ?1 = 1.2 kg/m3 at section (1) to ?2 = 0.85 kg/m3 at section (2). The converging duct is 2.0 m long and is 2.0 m high at section (1). (a) Predict the y-component of velocity, ?(x, y), in the duct. (b) Plot the approximate shape of the duct, ignoring friction on the walls. (c) How high should the duct be at section (2), the exit of the duct?

The water flow is not forced, but is carried along by the air flow. The 'superficial velocity' of the air is 0.1 m/s (superficial velocity is volume flow rate / flow area, representing the average velocity of the flow). The depth of the water film is 2 mm and the thickness of the air layer is 5 mm. Use the multiphase balance equations and interfacial boundary conditions to derive the velocity profile in the air and water, with y=D0 being the interface between the two.arrow_forward
