    This problem set document contains 4 fluid mechanics problems involving incompressible flow between parallel plates, flow into a cone frustum, radial outflow between disks, and flow past a cylinder with a V-shaped wake. The problems provide diagrams and ask the student to derive analytic expressions for variables like maximum velocity and force, or compute values like a drag coefficient.

    AM 2530 – Foundations of Fluid Mechanics

    Problem Set - 4

    1. Incompressible steady flow in the inlet between parallel plates in Fig is uniform, u = Uo = 8 cm/s, while
    downstream the flow develops into the parabolic laminar profile u = az(zo − z), where a is a constant. If
    zo = 4 cm and the fluid is SAE 30 oil at 20°C, what is the value of umax in cm/s?

    2. The cone frustum in the figure contains incompressible liquid to depth h. A solid piston of diameter d
    penetrates the surface at velocity V. Derive an analytic expression for the rate of rise dh/dt of the liquid
    surface.

    3. An incompressible fluid is squeezed between two disks by downward motion V o of the upper disk.
    Assuming 1-dimensional radial outflow, find the velocity V(r).

    4. Consider uniform flow past a cylinder with a V-shaped wake, as shown. Pressures at (1) and (2) are
    equal. Let b be the width into the paper. Find a formula for the force F on the cylinder due to the flow.
    Also compute CD = F/(ρU2Lb).
