Chapter 9, Problem 46P

The U.S. Navy has built the Sea Shadow, which is a small waterplane twin-hull (SWATH) ship whose object is to achieve the same reduced radar profile as the STEALTH aircraft. This catamaran is 160 ft long and its twin hulls have a draft of 14 ft. Assume that the ocean turbulence triggers a fully turbulent boundary layer on the sides of each hull. Treat these as flat plate boundary layers and calculate the drag on the ship and the power required to overcome it as a function of speed. Plot the results for speeds from 5 to 13 knots.

An aeroplane has a rectangular planform wing with a span of 12 m and a chord of 2 m. The aircraft is flying at cruising speed of 62 m/s at an altitude of 3,200 m. Assume that the skin-friction drag on the wing can be approximated by the drag on a flat plate of the same dimensions at 0° incidence. Calculate the skin-friction drag and the maximum boundary layer thickness assuming (i) a completely laminar flow, and (ii) a completely turbulent flow. Assume μ = 1.63.10-5 N s/m², p = 0.89 kg/m³. Then, calculate the skin-friction drag accounting for transition at Recr= 5.105. What would the drag benefit be if transition was delayed to a Reynolds number of 106? What reduction in a propeller engine power would this imply in the cruise condition, assuming a propeller efficiency of 0.88?
A bulk liquid transport truck incorporates a cylindrical tank 3m in diameter and 10m long. For the tank alone, calculate the pressure drag when the truck is traveling at 80km/h in air at 0°C
plate 450 mm x 150 mm has been placed longitudinally in a stream of crude oil (specific gravity 0.925 and kinematic viscosity of 9.0 x 10-5 m2/s) which flows with velocity of 6 m/s. Calculate: (i) the friction drag on the plate; (ii) the thickness of the boundary layer at a distance 215 mm from the trailing edge;(iii) the thickness of the boundary layer at the trailing edge;  (iv) shear stress at the trailing edge.
