Question

Problem 39P

The velocity field for solid-body rotation  in the rθ plane (Fig. P4-41) is given by

u r=0 uθ=ωr

where ω is the magnitude of the angular velocity ( points in the z-direction). For the case with ω = 1.5 s -1, 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. Be sure to label these speeds on your plot.

FIGURE P4‒41

Solution

Solution 39P

We need to draw  curves of constant speed V = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 m/s.

Step 1

We are given, angular speed

Different values of constant speed are given as V = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 m/s.
