7.1 Inviscid Flow Inviscid flow implies that the viscous effect is

negligible. This occurs in the flow domain away from a solid boundary outside the boundary layer at Re.

The flows are governed by Euler Equations

where , v, and p can be functions of r and t .

7.1 Inviscid Flow On the other hand, if flows are steady but

compressible, the governing equation becomes

where can be a function of r

For compressible flows, the state equation is needed; then, we will require the equation for temperature T also.

7.1 Inviscid Flow

Compressible inviscid flows usually belong to the scope of aerodynamics of high speed flight of aircraft. Here we consider only incompressible inviscid flows.

For incompressible flow, the governing equations reduce to

7.1 Inviscid Flow If the constant (total energy per unit mass) is the same for

all streamlines, the path of the integral can be arbitrary, and in the flow domain except inside boundary

layers.

Finally, the governing equations for inviscid, irrotational steady flow are

7.1 Inviscid Flow

Note that the velocity and pressure fields are decoupled. Hence, we can solve the velocity field from the continuity and vorticity equations. Then the pressure field is determined by Bernoulli equation.

A velocity potential exists for irrotational flow, such that,

and irrotationality is automatically satisfied.

7.1 Inviscid Flow

The continuity equation becomes

which is also known as the Laplace equation.

Every potential satisfy this equation. Flows with the existence of potential functions satisfying the Laplace equation are called potential flow.

7.1 Inviscid Flow The linearity of the governing equation for the flow fields

implies that different potential flows can be superposed.

If 1 and 2 are two potential flows, the sum =(1+2) also constitutes a potential flow. We have

However, the pressure cannot be superposed due to the nonlinearity in the Bernoulli equation, i.e.

If restricted to steady two dimensional potential flow, then the governing equations become

E.g. potential flow past a circular cylinder with D/L <<1 is a 2D potential flow near the middle of the cylinder, where both w component and /z0.

7.2 2D Potential Flows For 2D potential flows, a stream function (x,y) can also be

defined together with (x,y). In Cartisian coordinates,

where continuity equation is automatically satisfied, and irrotationality leads to the Laplace equation,

7.4. Superposition of 2-D Potential Flows Because the potential and stream functions

satisfy the linear Laplace equation, the superposition of two potential flow is also a potential flow.

From this, it is possible to construct potential flows of more complex geometry.

For underground flows in an aquifer of constant thickness, the flow through porous media are potential flows.

An injection well at the origin than act as a point source and the underground flow can be regarded as a uniform flow.

7.4.5.3 Lift Force The development of the lift on rotating bodies is called

the Magnus effect. It is clear that the lift force is due to the development of circulation around the body.

An airfoil without rotation can develop a circulation around the airfoil when Kutta condition is satisfied at the rear tip of the air foil.

Therefore, The tangential velocity along the cylinder surface is obtained by letting r=ro:

This forms the base of aerodynamic theory of airplane.
