As shown in the following figure, vortices are shed from the rear of a bluff cylinder placed across a flow. The vortices alternately leave the top and bottom of the cylinder, causing an alternating force normal to the freestream velocity. The vortex shedding frequency, f, depends on the fluid density p, width of the cylinder d, freestream velocity V, and fluid viscosity u. (a) Use Buckingham Pi Theorem to develop a functional relationship for f. Use M, L, t as the primary dimensional. Use p, V, and d as the repeating parameters. (b) Vortex shedding occurs in standard air on two cylinders with a diameter ratio of 2. Determine the velocity ratio for dynamic similarity, and the ratio of vortex shedding frequencies. -Vortices V

Calculate the terminal speed of the ball falling through the air, assuming that inertial drag is the dominant contributor. (For a sphere CD = and A is the area of the circle of radius r of the ball). Neglecting drag, estimate the time in seconds it takes for the steel ball to reach the terminal speed found in part 2 (i). Neglecting drag, estimate how far the ball would have travelled before reaching its terminal speed and comment on whether it is reasonable to neglect drag when studying the motion of this ball as it falls through the air from rest from the top of a 30 cm tall beaker or even from the ceiling of the room. Neglecting drag it would take 36 m to reach the terminal…
