Converging duct flow is modeled by the steady, two-dimensional velocity field of Prob. 4—16. A fluid particle (A) is located at x = xAand y at time t = 0 (Fig. P4—54). At some later time i. the fluid particle has moved downstream with the flow to some new location

Fluid is created at the origin and spreads out radially in all directions in the xy-plane. The net volume flow rate of created fluid per unit width is V·/L (into the page of Fig), where L is the width of the line source into the page in Fig Since mass must be conserved everywhere except at the origin (a singular point), the volume flow rate per unit width through a circle of any radius r must also be V·/L. If we (arbitrarily) specify stream function ? to be zero along the positive x-axis (? = 0), what is the value of ? along the positive y-axis (? = 90°)? What is the value of ? along the negative x-axis (? = 180°)?arrow_forward

It accounts for the effect of the fluid particle moving (advecting or convecting) to a new location in the flow, where the velocity field is different. For example, nunan A Çengel | John M. Cinbala consider steady flow of water through a garden hose nozzle (Fig. 4-8). We define steady in the Eulerian frame of reference to be when properties at any point in the flow field do not change with respect to time. Since the velocity at the exit of the nozzle is larger than that at the nozzle entrance, fluid particles clearly accelerate, even though the flow is steady. The accel- eration is nonzero because of the advective acceleration terms in Eq. 4-9.

For the case with w = 1.5 s, plot a contour plot of velocity magnitude (speed). Specifically, draw curves of constant speed V = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 m/s.
