Fluids: Chapter 9

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
external flows   flows where an object is completely surrounded by the fluid  
🗑
upstream velocity   U - velocity of a fluid flowing past a stationary body  
🗑
streamlined bodies   bodies that have little effect on the surrounding fluid  
🗑
blunt bodies   bodies that have a lot of effect on the surrounding fluid  
🗑
drag   the resultant force from pressure and shear stress in the direction of the upstream velocity  
🗑
lift   the resultant force from pressure and shear stress in the direction normal to the upstream velocity  
🗑
lift coefficient   Cl = lift/(.5*rho*U^2*A)  
🗑
drag coefficient   Cd = drag/(.5*rho*U^2*A)  
🗑
low Reynolds number flows   the viscous effects are felt far from the object in all directions (streamlines deflected considerably)  
🗑
large Reynolds number flows   flow is dominated by inertial effects and the viscous effects are negligible everywhere except in a region very close to the plate and in the relatively thin wake region behind the plate  
🗑
wage region   the region behind the object  
🗑
boundary layer   the region in which the fluid velocity changes from the upstream value to zero velocity  
🗑
flow separation   when nonstreamlined bodies are in flows with high Reynolds numbers- the flow separates from the body  
🗑
laminar boundary layer   near the leading edge of a flat plate with high Re, particles distort regularly  
🗑
turbulent boundary layer   some distance downstream from the leading edge, particles greatly distorted  
🗑
boundary layer thickness   that distance from the plate at which the fluid velocity is within some arbitrary value of the upstream velocity  
🗑
displacement thickness   represents the amount that the thickness of the body must be increased so that the fictitious uniform inviscid flow has the same mass flowrate properties as the actual viscous flow  
🗑
boundary layer momentum thickness   theta. often used when determining the drag on an object  
🗑
free-stream velocity   the fluid velocity at the edge of the boundary layer  
🗑
the cause of the pressure gradient in the boundary layer?   variation in the free-stream velocity  
🗑
friction drag   that part of the drag that is due directly to the shear stress on the object  
🗑
pressure drag   that part of the drag that is due directly to the pressure on the object  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
