The aerodynamic drag acting on a cylinder at a very low Reynolds number (Stokes flow or creeping motion) is a function of dynamic viscosity of fluid (u), diameter of cylinder (D) and freestream velocity (U). Find a non-dimensional parameter using dimensional analysis. 6b. A model test is to be conducted in a water tunnel using a 1: 20 model of a submarine, which is to travel at a speed of 12 km/h deep under sea surface. The water temperature...
When small aerosol particles or microorganism move through air or water, the Reynolds number is very small (Re << 1). Such flows are called creeping flows. The aerodynamic drag force, Fp, on an object in creeping flow is a function only of its speed V, some characteristic length scale L of the object, and fluid viscosity u (see Fig. 4). Use the method of repeating variables to generate a relationship for Fp as a function of the independent variables. Draw...
Reynolds number is a dimensionless number that is used in Fluid Mechanics to distinguish between the laminar and turbulent flows particularly in pipes. Consider a pipe where the flowing fluid has the following properties: ρ is the density of the fluid (SI units: kg/m^3) u is the velocity of the fluid with respect to the object (m/s) D is pipe diameter (m) μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid (Pa·s or N·s/m^2 or kg/m·s) m is he mass of...
Recall that the Reynolds number is a dimensionless number that we use to discuss the flow charecteristics of moving fluids. Generally speaking it is the ratio of momentum forces to viscous forces, and it depends on the diameter of the pipe, the density of the fluid, the velocity of the moving fluid, and the viscosity of the moving fluid. It is normally given by Re Where Re - Reynolds number [dimensionless) p- fuid density v- fud velocity D- pipe diameter...
The drag force F acting on a spherical particle of diameter D falling slowly through a viscous fluid at velocity u is found to be influenced by the diameter D, velocity of fall u, and the viscosity .

Air flows around a cylinder of 5-cm radius at 15cm/s (the Reynolds number is 1000), with the freestream velocity perpendicular to the axis. Find the dimensional u and v components of the velocity at a point 0.15 cm away from the surface and 0.5 cm away from the symmetry plane on the upwind side of the cylinder. Find the shear stress on the wall at a point 0.5 cm away from the symmetry plane.
Problem #3 At very low Reynolds numbers a ball viscometer can be used to measure fluid viscosity by dropping a spherical ball in the fluid and measuring its terminal velocity. Consider a solid ball of radius a = 1cm and density Ps = 2,500 kg/m falling in liquid glycerin with density P = 1,250 kg/m3. The measured terminal velocity of the ball is U = 0.15 m/s. Calculate the viscosity of the liquid.
