Homework Statement


What effect does a large positive dCp/dX have on the real viscous flow? This is for an airfoil design project using thin airfoil theory + vortex panel method.




The Attempt at a Solution


As far as I know Viscosity is independent of pressure, so the only thing I can think of is assuming ideal gas behavior and saying that it affects the density and therefore the kinematic viscosity. However I believe that he is referring to something different, some property of a viscous flow that I haven't yet figured out.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me? I don't need the answer so much as a nudge in the right direction...ie "look at x property"

Thanks again
 
in which dimension is flow?
 
The design is in 2 dimensions.
 
Well for anyone else who stumbles upon this and needs the answer look at the difference between the lift coefficient vs. angle of attack graph for viscid vs. inviscid flow, and consider how the coefficient of pressure affects the lift coefficient.

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
