Fluid mechanics problem
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 (i.e. moving up and down) and pitching (1.e. 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 (i.e. c/2 from the leading edge) as shown in Figure 3(a). The thrust or propulsive force of the wing (I) 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…
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?

P5.72 A one-twelfth-scale model of a large commercial aircraft is tested in a wind tunnel at 20°C and 1 atm. The model chord length is 27 cm, and its wing area is 0.63 m?. Test results for the drag of the model are as follows: V, mi/h 50 75 | 100 125 Drag, N 15 | 32 53 80 In the spirit of Fig. 5.8, use this data to estimate the drag of the full-scale aircraft when flying at 550 mi/h, for the same angle of attack, at 32,800 ft standard altitude. Neglect Mach number differences between model and prototype.
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.
During World War II, Sir Geoffrey Taylor, a British fl uiddynamicist, used dimensional analysis to estimate theenergy released by an atomic bomb explosion. He assumedthat the energy released E , was a function of blast waveradius R , air density ρ, and time t . Arrange these variablesinto a single dimensionless group, which we may term theblast wave number .
