Question

Transcribed Image Text:Current Attempt in Progress
A thin layer of an incompressible fluid flows steadily
over a horizontal smooth plate as shown in the figure
below. The fluid surface is open to the atmosphere,
and an obstruction having a square cross section is
placed on the plate as shown. A model with a length
scale of 1:5 and a fluid density scale of 1.0 is to be
designed to predict the depth of fluid, y, along the
plate. Assume that inertial, gravitational, surface
tension, and viscous effects are all important. What
are the required (a) viscosity and (b) surface tension
scales?
(a) μm/μ =
i
(b) om/o=
IM
