Fluid fills the space between two parallel plates. The differential equation that describes the instantaneous fluid velocity for unsteady flow with the fluid moving parallel to the walls is
The lower plate is stationary and the upper plate oscillates in the x-direction with a frequency ω and an amplitude in the plate velocity of U. Use the characteristic dimensions to normalize the differential equation and obtain the dimensionless groups that characterize the flow.

- A 5-kg object is acted upon by a horizontal force P=18t [N], where t is time in seconds. The coefficient of kinetic friction is µk = 0.15. At t = 2 s, the object's velocity is 10 m/s. Determine the velocity at t = 4 s. Use the Impulse-Momentum method. Provide the free-body diagram and show all work. Parrow_forwardfluid mechanicsarrow_forwardFluid Dynamics questionarrow_forward

Yes, both v2 and 2ar have m/s units.arrow_forwardThe wind flutter on the wing of a newly proposed jet fighter is given by the following 1st order differential equation: With the Boundary Condition: y(0) = 1 (remember this means that y = 1 when x = 0) Determine the vertical motion (y) in terms of the span (x) of the wing. The frequency of fluctuations of the wing at mach 2 is given by the non-homogenous 2nd order differential equation: With the boundary conditions: y(0) = 1 and y(1) = 0 (i.e., y = 1 when x = 0 and y = 0 when x = 1) By solving the homogenous form of this equation, complete the analysis and determine the amplitude (y) of vibration of the wing tip at mach 2. Critically evaluate wing flutter and fluctuation frequency amplitude determined by solving the two differential equations above.arrow_forwardA small wind turbine is tested in a wind tunnel using the following model parameters: ρ = 1.2 kg/m3 , µ = 1.81x10-5 Ns/m2 , v = 12 m/s, A = 0.03 m2 and Cp is measured as 0.42.

When the cylinder is slightly offset with respect to its vertical axis, the cylinder will oscillate with a frequency w. Assume that this frequency is a function of the diameter, the mass of the cylinder, and the specific weight of the liquid. Determine, with the help of a dimensional analysis, how the frequency is related to these variables. If the mass of the cylinder increases, determine what happens with the frequency.arrow_forward
