Combine three elementary flows: Uniform flow , Doublet (to create the cylinder shape), and a Point Vortex (to add rotation). Stream Function ( ): In polar coordinates: This report provides a concise yet rigorous set

When a high-speed fluid flows over a flat plate, viscous effects are confined to a thin layer near the wall, known as the boundary layer. Outside this layer, the fluid behaves as if it were inviscid. Outside this layer, the fluid behaves as if it were inviscid

u open paren y close paren equals negative the fraction with numerator rho g sine theta and denominator 2 mu end-fraction y squared plus cap C sub 1 y plus cap C sub 2 Step 3: Apply Boundary Conditions To find the constants ( ), we apply: No-slip condition at the bottom solid surface. Free surface condition at the air-fluid interface (neglecting air resistance). Interface continuity

Look for ways to reduce 3D problems to 2D or axisymmetric 1D problems.

A 1:20 scale model of a submarine is tested in a wind tunnel to determine the drag force. The actual submarine moves underwater at a speed of 10 m/s. The density of water is $\rho_w = 1000 , \textkg/m^3$ and viscosity $\mu_w = 1.0 \times 10^-3 , \textPa\cdot\texts$. The wind tunnel uses air at $\rho_a = 1.2 , \textkg/m^3$ and $\mu_a = 1.8 \times 10^-5 , \textPa\cdot\texts$.
