SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the application of Bernoulli's Equation to a flat vortex sheet characterized by strength \(\gamma(s)\) and an angle of attack \(\alpha\). The user seeks to demonstrate that the pressure difference \(p_{2} - p_{1} = \rho V_{\infty} \gamma \cos(\alpha)\) holds true, utilizing the equations \(\gamma = u1 - u2\) and Bernoulli's equation \(p_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_{1}^2 = p_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_{2}^2\). Key insights include the limitation of Bernoulli's equation to streamline applications and the necessity of calculating vortex strength to derive resultant pressures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics concepts, specifically vortex sheets.
  • Proficiency in applying Bernoulli's Equation in fluid flow scenarios.
  • Familiarity with the mathematical manipulation of flow velocity equations.
  • Knowledge of pressure dynamics in relation to fluid velocity and vortex strength.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation and application of Bernoulli's Equation in vortex flow scenarios.
  • Learn how to calculate vortex strength and its implications on pressure distribution.
  • Explore the integration of vortex strengths to determine resultant forces on surfaces.
  • Investigate the limitations of Bernoulli's Equation in non-streamline applications.

Can someone help me with this, I need to prove that a flat vortex sheet of strength \gamma(s) at an angle of attack \alpha with the horizontal and has a p_{2} - p_{1} = \rho V_{\infty} \gamma cos(\alpha)

I just need to mathematically manipulate 2 formulas, namely the following two:
\gamma = u1 - u2 where u1 and u2 are the tangential flow velocities above and below the vortex sheet, respectively. I know that V_{\infty} is coming in parallel to the horizontal
Also, I need to use the Bernuolli equation: p_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_{1}^2 = p_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_{2}^2

this should be easy but i can't figure it out..any help is appreciated!

1 - Bernoulli's equation can be applied only along a stream line , can't be applied between a point these two points

2 - try to calculate the vortex strength , and integrate them to get the forces , then divide by the areas ..to get the resultant pressure.
