Concept explainers
A submerged body traveling horizontally beneath a liquid surface at a Froude number (based on body length) about 0.5 produces a strong surface wave pattern if submerged less than half its length. (The wave pattern of a surface ship also is pronounced at this Froude number.) On a log-log plot of speed versus body (or ship) length for 1 m/s < V < 30 m/s and 1 m < x < 300 m, plot the line Fr = 0.5.

- Aiming a 1.69 in diameter garden hose straight up, forms a “bubbler fountain” that you could easily drink from (but you shouldn’t because of bacteria, etc.). The water flows out the hose and down the sides. If the water has a density of 63.1 lbm/ft^3 and a viscosity of 0.0119 g/cm*s, what is the thickness of the water film (df) (in cm) if the flow rate of water is 6.42 in^3/s? For simplicity, assume the film is thin enough that you can use rectangular coordinates.arrow_forward1) Consider the wave of small wave elevation in water of infinite depth. By linearization the water fluid flow can be described by velocity potential o which satisfy linear equations. i. For the wave described by: o ekz sin(kx – wt) and 3 = acos(kx – wt) show that: a. The potential energy in a wave length is Apga?/4. b. The kinetic energy in the wave length is Apga?/4 as well.arrow_forwardQ1, ): A particular laminar boundary layer velocity profile is given by 2 и(у) = 1+ A Um 서-() y Where y denotes the distance from the center of the channel. a) Determine the expression for the shear stress T(y) as a function of y and other given parameters assuming that d and Um are constant. Find the value of A from table 1 at the end of the questions. b) If A = 0, find the shear stress value at the center of the channel (i.e., at y = 0).arrow_forward
