A thin elastic wire has its both ends tied to two fixed holders and is completely immersed in a flowing fluid. A study is to be carried out to determine the static deflection, ô, at the axis of the wire due to drag that exerted by the flowing fluid. Assume: 8 =f(I, d, p, µ, V, E) where dis a deflection in unit length, I is wire length, d is wire diameter, pis fluid density, µ is fluid dynamic viscosity, V is fluid velocity, and E is elastic modulus of the wire. By using Buckingham Pi (t) theorem and basic dimensions system of MLT, predict a suitable set of a Pi (T) terms to study this problem. Use d, p, and V as the repeating variables. The unit of elastic modulus is given as Newton/m².

Question

Transcribed Image Text:c) A thin elastic wire has its both ends tied to two fixed holders and is completely
immersed in a flowing fluid. A study is to be carried out to determine the static
deflection, 8, at the axis of the wire due to drag that exerted by the flowing fluid.
Assume: 8 =f(1, d, p, µ, V, E)
where dis a deflection in unit length, I is wire length, d is wire diameter, pis fluid
density, u is fluid dynamic viscosity, V is fluid velocity, and E is elastic modulus
of the wire.
By using Buckingham Pi (t) theorem and basic dimensions system of MLT,
predict a suitable set of a Pi (t) terms to study this problem. Use d, p, and V as
the repeating variables. The unit of elastic modulus is given as Newton/m?.
