A 1-m-diameter sphere is being towed at speed V in freshwater at 20°C as shown in Fig. Assuming inviscidtheory with an undistorted free surface, estimate the speedV in m/s at which cavitation will first appear on the spheresurface. Where will cavitation appear? For this condition,what will be the pressure at point A on the sphere, which is45° up from the direction of travel?
Using Buckingham-pi theorem, find an expression for the drag force (D) of a sphere of diameter (do) falling slowly with a velocity (V) in a large vessel containing a liquid of density (ρ) and viscosity (μ).
Ex. The force required to tow a 1:30scale model of a motor boat in a lake at a
speed of 2m/s is 0.5 N, Assuming that the viscosity resistance due to water and air
is negligible in comparison with the wave resistance, calculate the corresponding
speed of the prototype for dynamically similar conditions. What would be the force
required to propel the prptype at that velocity in the same lake?
Ans.: 10.95m/s, 13500N
