Also, mos engineers when faced with finding 8 Solution toa practical aerodynamic problem, find themselves operating large ‘computer codes rather than developing simple analytic models to guide them in thei analysis. For this reason, it is important to star with a bret {evelopment of the principles upoa which the general fd dynamic equations fate based. Then we willbe in a positon to consider the physical reasoning tehind the assumptions that are introduced to generate simplified versions of ‘the equations that sil correctly model the aerodynamic phenomena being studied. IC hoped that this approach wil give the engineer the ability t0 pprecate both the power and the limitations of the techniques that will be presented in this text. In this chapter we will devive the conservation of matt and momentum balance equation and show how they are reduced to obtain ‘the equations that wll be used in the est ofthe text to model Hows of interest to the low-speed aerodynamics. 1.1 DESCRIPTION OF FLUID MOTION “The Aid beng studied here is modeled as 8 continuum and infinitesimally all regions ofthe ful (with «fixed mass) are elle lid element or fluid TICLE 1 ac 3 east fom oer a il ewe fm» Sy fed cone ae nnn toe a gg ert te a Stn ing sutpen sa ie ree saci verte pare pant of ew, wich aes the approach of sic rt aot srgee ame terete Fae ornd The potion of any fd parle P (Se Fg 11) 8 £9 Epler Yo Zor) 29) the position of P at some iil time £= 0.

Itt important to ob- serve that fora constantwelocty forward motion ofthe ail, im this frame of reference, these tuajecory lines become independent of time.

At an example, consider the flow over an airfoil, as shown in Fig. Tri In general, bad on the asumption of high Reynolds number the ‘iocous terms of Eq.

However, closer investigation of such flow Bld reveals that aca the slid ‘oundarie in the fd, shear ow derivatives suchas Wg become large and the viscous ters cannot be neglected even for high values of the Reynolds number (Fig. 1.19, As an example, near the surface of a steanlined two-dimensional body submerged ina steady ow inthe x cretion (with no oy forces) the Navier-Stokes equations can be reduced to the classical 2 sowsren ascot: poundary layer equations (see Schlching,'* p-131) where now x represents ‘Satan along the body surface and = is eased normal to the surface, The fmomentum equation in the x direction 20 yt) 2 2H aden) = Bank ry sada he norma 2 deo 4 1. on 008) So, in conclusion, for high Reynolds aumber fows there are two dominant regions in the Bowed 1.

SIMILARITY OF FLOWS ‘Another interesting aspect ofthe process of nondimensionalizing the equations inthe previous section that two diferent flows are considered tobe similar the nondimensonal numbers af Eq.

SUMMARY: METHODOLOGY OF SOLUTION In view of Eq. (3.13) ((.17) in two dimensions), itis possible to establish fairy general approach to the solution of incompressible potential Bow problems. The most important observation s thatthe solution of T° =0 can be obtained by dsuibuting elementary solutions (wutces and doublets) onthe problem boundaries (Sp 8). These elementary solutions automaticaly ull {he Boundary condition of Eq. (3.3) by having velocity elds that decay as ‘r+0, However, atthe point where r™=0, the velocity becomes singular, and ‘erefore the bai elements are ealed singular soltions. ‘The general solution requires the integration ofthese base solutions over any surface S containing these singularity clemente becase each element wil have an effect on the whole Bai fed. ‘The solution ofa fluid dynamic problem is now reduced to fining the ‘ppropriate singularity element distribution over some known boundaries, so ‘hat the boundary condition (Eq. (3.2)) will be filed, The ain advantage ofthis formulation isis straightforward applicability to nomercal methods, When the potential is specified on the problem boundaries then this type of ‘mathematical problem is called the Dirichlet problem (Kellogg? p. 288) and is frequently used in many aumercalsoltions (panel methods) ‘A'more direct approach tothe soliton, from the physial point of view, § to specify the zero normal flow boundary condition (Eq (3.2)) on the solid boundaries: This problem is known ae the Neumann problem (Kellogg, p 246) and inorder fo evaluate the velocity eld the potential i diferentiied ve aa 2") 8a es ‘))as+ve. 1s) ‘Agtin, the derivative 3/3 for the doublet indicates the orientation of the clement as will be shown in Section 3.5. Substituting this equation into the boundary condition of Eq. (3.2) can seve as the bass of nding the ‘unknown singularity distibation. (This can be done analytically oF ‘merical For a given set of boundary conditions, the above solution technique i ‘not unique, and many problems can be solved by using ony one type of singularity element or ‘any linear combination of the two. singular, ‘Therefore, in many situations additional considerations are requited e-p, the ‘method that will be presented in the next chapter to define the ow nea sharp trling edges of wigs).
