Chapter 4 Problem 4.72

Question

The pressure in the wake of a bluff body is approximately equal to the pressure at the point of separation. The velocity distribution for flow over a sphere is V = 1.5 V0 sin ll, where V0 is the free-stream velocity and 0 is the angle measured from the forward stagnation point. The flow separates at 0 = 120. If the free-stream velocity is 100m/sand the tluid is air (p = 1.2 kglm3 ), find tl1e pressure coefficient in the separated region next to the sphere. Also, what is the gage pressure in this region if the free-stream pressure is atmospheric?

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 4 problem number 72 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The pressure in the wake of a bluff body is approximately equal to the pressure at the point of separation. The velocity distribution for flow over a sphere is V = 1.5 V0 sin ll, where V0 is the free-stream velocity and 0 is the angle measured from the forward stagnation point. The flow separates at 0 = 120. If the free-stream velocity is 100m/sand the tluid is air (p = 1.2 kglm3 ), find tl1e pressure coefficient in the separated region next to the sphere. Also, what is the gage pressure in this region if the free-stream pressure is atmospheric?
From the textbook chapter THE BERNOULLI EQUATION AND PRESSURE VARIATION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
