An ongoing research to investigate the unsteady aerodynamics of insect flight is being conducted at the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory in NUS; the outcomes of which are important in the development Flapping Micro-Air-Vehicles. As part of this research, an experiment has been conducted on a simplified two-dimensional elliptic wing to study the effect of sinusoidal heaving (1.e. moving up and down) and pitching (Le. oscillating) motion of the wing on the generation of propulsion force. The wing has a chord length (distance between the leading and trailing edge of the wing) of c, and is pitching about the mid-chord (ie. c/2 from the Leading edge) as shown in Figure 3(a). The thrust or propulsive force of the wing (1) is expected to be a function of free stream velocity (U), chord length (c), frequency of heaving (f), amplitude of heaving (A), frequency of pitching (2), angular amplitude of pitching (a.), density of fluid (p) and dynamic viscosity (u). Rewrite this relation in non-dimensional form using p. U and c as repeating variables.

6.10 A sphere advancing at 1.5 m/s in a stationary mass of water experiences a drag of 4.5 N. Find the flow velocity required for dynamic similarity of another sphere twice the diameter, placed in a wind tunnel. Calculate the drag at this speed if the kinematic viscosity of air is 13 times that of water and its density is 1.25 kg/m³. Ans. (9.75 m/s, 0.951 N)
Exercices 4 Rockets are usually propelled by ejecting gases from the combustion of a liquid fuel mixture. However, this solution is rather inefficient to transport spacemen to other planets. A proposed solution is to use plasma engines, the VASIMR engines. The gases ejected by these engines do not come from a combustion but are simply heated by an electric resistance at high temperature. However, such engines are very greedy in electricity, it would thus be necessary to install on the spacecrafts nuclear reactors. We consider the following characteristics: Loss of mass due to nuclear reactions A : 5,05 ug/s Mass of ejected gas u: 10,1 g/s Gas ejection velocity u: 192 m/s 1 What is the "source" flow rate qs in kg/s? 2 What is the inflow qi in kg/s? 3 What is the outflow qo in kg/s? Once in orbit around the Earth, it is necessary, to travel towards Mars, to increase the speed of the rocket of 4,4 km/s. Assuming the variation of mass due to the nuclear reactions negligible, during how…

You are designing an airfoil for a new hobby RC plane. Because of your limited knowledge, you have mistakenly approximated your airfoil as an ellipse with a = 75mm and b = 12mm. Here, “a” is the depth of your wing and “b” is the thickness. Your plane travels through the air at approximately 20mph (8.9m/s). As it does so, skin friction produces a drag-induced heat of 800W on your wind, of length 1m. Properties of Air: k = 0.025 W/mK, Pr = 0.72, v = 1.847 x 10−5, u = 16.84 x 10−6, p = 1.2 kg/m3, B = 1/Tf (ideal gas), TInfinity = 25oC a) What is the average temperature of your wing? Assume an ellipse perimeter of approximately 200mm.
3.) Transport review: For steady-state flow of water in a stationary pipe of radius R, simplify the Navier-Stokes equation to a simple 2nd order ODE. Assume a pressure drop AP over the length of the pipe (L). What are two boundary conditions that can be used? Do not solve.
Skydiver Luke jumps with his parachute of diameter D = 12m out of an airplane. The combined mass of the parachute and Luke is 100 kg. The drag coefficient for the fully open parachute is C_{D} = 1.4 . Neglecting acceleration and considering a linear change of air density with altitude, estimate Luke's fall time between altitudes of 3000 m and 2000 m. For the density of air at these two altitudes, assume pair (3000m) = 1.0 kg/m³ and pair (2000m) = 1.1 kg/m³.
A small, axisymmetric, low-speed wind tunnel is built to calibrate hot wires. The diameter of the test section is 6.68 in, and its length is 12.5 in. The air is at 60°F. At a uniform air speed of 5.0 ft/s at the test section inlet, by how much will the centerline air speed accelerate by the end of the test section? What should the engineers do to eliminate this acceleration?

A correlation of computational fl uid dynamics results indicatesthat, all other things being equal, the distance traveledby a well-hit baseball varies inversely as the 0.36 power ofthe air density. If a home-run ball hit in Citi Field in NewYork travels 400 ft, estimate the distance it would travel in( a ) Quito, Ecuador, and ( b ) Colorado Springs, CO.
The drag force (Fdrag) exerted by air on a moving car depends on a dimensionless drag coefficient (Carag), the specific volume of air (Vair), the velocity of the car (Var), and the frontal area of the car (Afront). (a) Based on unit considerations alone, obtain an equation for the drag force. Be sure to explicitly demonstrate that the final units are correct. (b) Explain, based on your equation, what happens to the drag force when each variable is changed in isolation. Indicate whether this predicted behaviour matches your intuition in each case.
This exercise is part of a series of problems aimed at modeling a situation by progressively refining our model to take into account more and more parameters. This progressive approach is very close to what professional scientists do! context We want to lower a suspended load in a controlled way so that it hits the ground with a speed whose modulus is not too great. To slow down the descent, a spring has been added behind the mass (A), The suspended load (B) is connected by a rope passing through a pulley to this mass (A), which slides on a horizontal surface with friction. Information The masses of the charges A and B are known.The mass of the rope itself is negligible (very small compared to the loads).The pulley has negligible mass and can rotate without friction.The charge B is initially stationary and is at a known height h.The surface on which mass A sits is tilted upwards at a known angle theta from the horizontal.There is friction under mass A: the kinetic friction…
