We have studied the point source (sink) and the line source (sink) of infi nite depth into the paper. Does it make any sense to defi ne a fi nite-length line sink (source) as in 586 Chapter 8 Potential Flow and Computational Fluid Dynamics Fig. P8.98? If so, how would you establish the mathematical properties of such a fi nite line sink? When combined with a uniform stream and a point source of equivalent strength as in Fig. P8.98, should a closed-body shape be formed? Make a guess and sketch some of these possible shapes for various values of the dimensionless parameter m/(U L2 ). P8.98 U +m m y x 0 Point source Line sink of total strength L

A 1-m-diameter sphere is being towed at speed V in fresh water at 208C as shown in Fig. P8.100. Assuming inviscid theory with an undistorted free surface, estimate the speed V in m/s at which cavitation will fi rst appear on the sphere surface. Where will cavitation appear? For this condition, what will be the pressure at point A on the sphere, which is 458 up from the direction of travel? P8.100 pa = 101.35 kPa D = 1 m A V 3

Consider a steel sphere (SG 5 7.85) of diameter 2 cm, dropped from rest in water at 208C. Assume a constant drag coeffi cient CD 5 0.47. Accounting for the spheres hydrodynamic mass, estimate (a) its terminal velocity and (b) the time to reach 99 percent of terminal velocity. Compare these to the results when hydrodynamic mass is neglected, Vterminal < 1.95 m/s and t99% < 0.605 s, and discuss.

A golf ball weighs 0.102 lbf and has a diameter of 1.7 in. A professional golfer strikes the ball at an initial velocity of 250 ft/s, an upward angle of 208, and a backspin (front of the ball rotating upward). Assume that the lift coeffi cient on the ball (based on frontal area) follows Fig. P7.108. If the ground is level and drag is neglected, make a simple analysis to predict the impact point (a) without spin and (b) with backspin of 7500 r/min.

For fully developed laminar incompressible fl ow through a straight noncircular duct, as in Sec. 6.8, the Navier-Stokes equations (4.38) reduce to 0 2 u 0y2 1 0 2 u 0z 2 5 1 dp dx 5 const , 0 where (y, z) is the plane of the duct cross section and x is along the duct axis.

In CFD textbooks [5, 2327], one often replaces the lefthand sides of Eqs. (8.102b and c) with the following two expressions, respectively: 0 0x (u2 ) 1 0 0y (u) and 0 0x (u ) 1 0 0y ( 2 ) Are these equivalent expressions, or are they merely simplifi ed approximations? Either way, why might these forms be better for fi nite difference purposes?

Formulate a numerical model for Eq. (8.99), which has no instability, by evaluating the second derivative at the next time step, j 1 1. Solve for the center velocity at the next time step and comment on the result. This is called an implicit model and requires iteration.

If your institution has an online potential fl ow boundary element computer code, consider fl ow past a symmetric airfoil, as in Fig. P8.114.
