Examle 3. Consider the inviscid, incomressible, steady flow along the horizontal streamline A-B in front of the shere of radius a as shown in Fig. E3.a. From a more advanced theory of flow ast a shere, the fluid velocity along this streamline is
3 a 0 ( ) 3 x Determinate the ressure variation along the streamline from oint A far in front the shere ( x A and A 0 ) to oint B on the shere ( x B a and B 0)
Figure E3. Solution: Since the flow is steady and inviscid, Eq. 3.4 is valid. In addition, since the streamline is horizontal, sin θ sin 0 0 and the equation of motion along the streamline reduces to s s ρ () with the given velocity variation along the streamline, the a 3 0a acceleration term is 0 ( )( ) s x 3 x x 3 a 0 ( ) 3 3 x where we have relaced s by x since the two coordinates are a x 3 4 3 3
identical (within an additive constant) along streamline A-B. It follows that < 0 along the streamline. The fluid slows s down from 0 far ahead of the shere to zero velocity on the nose of the shere ( x a). Thus according to Eq., to roduce the given motion the ressure gradient along the streamline is x 3 3ρa 0 ( a x 4 3 x 3 ) () This variation is indicated in Fig. E3. b. It is seen that the ressure increase in the direction of flow ( > 0) x from oint A to oint B. The maximum ressure gradient 0 a (0.60 ρ ) occurs just slightly ahead of the shere ( x.05a). It is the ressure gradient that slows the fluid down from A 0 to B 0. The ressure distribution along the streamline can be obtained by integrating Eq. from 0 (gage) at x to ressure at location x. The result, lotted in Fig. E3.c, is 6 a 3 ( a x) ρ 0 ( ) (Ans) x The ressure at B, a stagnation oint since 0, is the B
highest ressure along the streamline ( B ρ 0 ). As shown in Chater 9, this excess ressure on the front of the shere (i.e. > 0 ) contributes to the net drag force on the B shere. Note that the ressure gradient and ressure are directly roortional to the density of the fluid, a reresentation of the fact that the fluid inertia is roortional to its mass.

Consider the flow of air around a bicyclist moving through still air with velocity 0 as is shown in Fig. E3.. Determine the difference in the ressure between oints () and (). Figure E 3. Solution: In a coordinate system fixed to the bike, it aears as through the air is flowing steadily toward the bicycle with seed 0. If the assumtions of Bernoulli s equation are valid (steady,
incomressible, inviscid flow), Eq. 3.7 can be alied as follows along the streamline that asses through () and () ρ γz ρ γz We consider () to be in the free stream so that 0 and () to be at the ti of the bicyclist s nose and assume that z z and 0 (both of which, as is discussed in Section 3.4, are reasonable assumtions). It follows that the ressure at () is greater than at () by an amount ρ ρ0 (Ans) A similar result was obtained in Examle 3. by integrating ressure gradient, which was known because the velocity distribution along the streamline, (s), was known. The Bernoulli equation is a general integration of F ma. To determine, knowledge of the detailed velocity distribution is not needed-only the boundary conditions at () and () are required. Of course, knowledge of the value of along the streamline is needed to determine the seed 0. As discussed in Section 3.5, this is the rincile uon which many
velocity measuring devices are based. If the bicyclist were accelerating or decelerating, the flow would unsteady (i.e. 0 constant ) and the above analysis would be in correct since Eq. 3.7 is restricted to steady flow. v v 3.3 F ma normal to a streamline.

Figure E 3.3 Solution: We assume the flow are steady, inviscid, and incomressible with streamline in the horizontal lane ( dn 0 dz ) Since the streamlines are circles, the coordinate n oints in a direction oosite of that of the radial coordinate, n r, and the radius of curvature is given by R r. Hence, Eq. 3.0 becomes r ρ r For case (a) this gives ρc r r ρc While for case (b) it gives 3 r r For either the ressure increases as r increase since δ δr > 0 Integration of these equations with resect to r, starting with a known ressure 0 at r r0, gives
ρ C ( r r0 ) for case (a) and ρ C ( ) r r 0 0 0 (Ans) (Ans) for case (b). These ressure distributions are sketched in Fig E3.3c. The ressure distributions needed to balance the centrifugal accelerations in cases (a) and (b) are not the same because the velocity distributions are different. In fact for case (a) the ressure increase without bound as r, while for case (b) the ressure aroaches a finite value as r. The streamline atterns are the same for each case, however. Physically, case (a) reresents rigid body rotation (as obtained in a can of water on a turntable after it has been sun u ) and case(b) reresents a free vortex (an aroximation to a tornado or the swirl of water in a drain, the bathtub vortex ).

Physics: Force balance; Bernoulli s Princile The work done on a article by all forces acting on the article is equal to the change of the kinetic energy of the article. (Newton s second law; first & second laws of thermodynamics). Examle 3.4 Consider the flow of water from the syringe shown in Fig. 3.4. A force alied to the lunger will roduce a ressure greater than atmosheric at oint () within the syringe. The water flows from the needle, oint (), with relatively high velocity and coasts u to oint (3) at the to of its trajectory. Discuss the
energy of the fluid at oints (), (), and (3) by using the Bernoulli equation. Figure E 3.4 Solution: If the assumtions (steady, inviscid, incomressible flow) of the Bernoulli equation are aroximately valid, it then follows that the flow can be exlained in terms of the artition of the total energy of the water. According to Eq. 3.3 the sum of the three tyes of energy (kinetic, otential, and ressure) or heads (velocity, elevation, and ressure) must remain constant. The following table indicates the relative magnitude of each of these energies at the three oints shown in the figure.
Energy Tye Point Kinetic ρ Potential γ z Pressure Small Zero Large Large Small Zero 3 Zero Large Zero The motion results in (or is due to) a change in the magnitude of each tye of energy as the fluid flows from one location to another. An alternate way to consider this flow is as follows. The ressure gradient between () and () roduces an acceleration to eject the water from the needle. Gravity acting on the article between () and (3) roduces a deceleration to cause the water to come to a momentary sto at the to of its flight. If friction (viscous) effects were imortant, there would be an energy loss between () and (3) and for the given the water would not be able to reach the height indicated in the figure. Such friction may arise in the needle (see chater 8, ie flow) or between the water stream and the surrounding air (see chater
9, external flow). Examle 3.5 Consider the inviscid, incomressible, steady flow shown in Fig. E3.5. From section A to B the streamlines are straight, while from C to D they follow circular aths. Describe the ressure variation between oints () and () and oints (3) and (4). Figure E 3.5 Solution: With the above assumtion and the fact that R for the ortion from A to B, Eq. 3.4 becomes γ z constant The constant can be determined by evaluating the known variables at the two locations using P 0 (gage), Z h - to give
γ ( z z ) γ h (Ans) Note that since the radius of curvature of the streamline is infinite, the ressure variation in the vertical direction is the same as if the fluid were stationary. However, if we aly Eq. 3.4 between oints (3) band oint (4) we obtain (using dn -dz) Z 4 4 Z ( dz ) ρ γ z 4 3 3 R γ z 3 With 4 0 and z 4 -z 3 h 4-3 this becomes Z 4 γ h 4 3 Z dz (Ans) 3 R 3 ρ To evaluate the integral we must know the variation of and R with z. Even without this detailed information we note that the integral has a ositive value. Thus, the ressure at (3) is less than the hydrostatic value, γ h 4 3, by an amount equal to ρ Z Z 3 4 R dz. This lower ressure, caused by the curved streamline, is necessary to accelerate the fluid around the curved ath. Note that we did not aly the Bernoulli equation (Eq. 3.3)
across the streamlines from () to () or (3) to (4). Rather we used Eq. 3.4. As is discussed in section 3.6 alication of the Bernoulli equation across streamlines (rather than along) them may lead to serious errors. 3.5 Static, Stagnation (Total), and Dynamic Pressure γz - hydrostatic ressure not a real ressure, but ossible due to otential energy variations of the fluid as a result of elevation changes. - static ressure ρ -dynamic ressure stagnation oint 0 P P ρ stagnation ressure static ressuredynamic ressure (if elevation effect are neglected) Total ressure It reresents the conversion of all of the kinetic energy into a ressure rise.

Thus, for a given flowrate, the ressure difference, -, as measured by a ressure gage would vary with θ, but the manometer reading, h, would be indeendent of θ.
