Air at 20°C flows at V = 80.0 m/s over a smooth flat plate of length L = 17.5 m. Plot the turbulent boundary layer profile in physical variables (u as a function of y) at x = L. Compare the profile generated by the one-seventh-power law, the log law, and Spalding’s law of the wall, assuming that the boundary layer is fully turbulent from the beginning of the plate.
(a) Use the y-momentum equation to show that the pressure gradient across the boundary layer is approximately zero i.e. = 0 . Assume the boundary layer to be a two-dimensional ду steady and incompressible flow. Neglect gravitational forces. State clearly all assumptions made. Use the Bernoulli's equation to prove that the pressure difference is given by (b) P2-P1 = -4pU? for a fluid with constant density p flowing from point 1 to point 2 where pi, U1, A1 are the pressure, velocity and flow cross-section area at point 1 and p2, U2, A2 are the pressure, velocity and flow cross-section area at point 2 respectively. The ratio of the cross-section area A1 = 3.
SR-71 Blackbird cruised at Mach 3.2 at 80,000 ft altitude. However, it was designed to leak a finite amount of fuel during takeoff because the surface temperature of the aircraft increases (which leads to expansion of the surfaces) due to aerodynamic heating during flight. Estimate the flow temperature around the aircraft during cruise condition. Assume specific heat ratio is 1.4.
