28. _Uniplanar Motion of a Liquid due to the Passage of a Cylinder
through it._--A stream-function [psi] must be determined to satisfy
the conditions
[Nabla]²[psi] = 0, throughout the liquid; (1)
[psi] = constant, over any fixed boundary; (2)
d[psi]/ds = normal velocity reversed over a solid boundary, (3)
so that, if the solid is moving with velocity U in the direction Ox,
d[psi]/ds = -Udy/ds, or [psi] + Uy = constant over the moving
cylinder; and [psi] + Uy = [psi]´ is the stream function of the
relative motion of the liquid past the cylinder, and similarly [psi] -
Vx for the component velocity V along Oy; and generally
[psi]´ = [psi] + Uy - Vx (4)
is the relative stream-function, constant over a solid boundary moving
with components U and V of velocity.
If the liquid is stirred up by the rotation R of a cylindrical body,
d[psi]/ds = normal velocity reversed
dx dy
= -Rx-- - Ry--, (5)
ds ds
[psi] + ½R(x² + y²) = [psi]´, (6)
a constant over the boundary; and [psi]´ is the current-function of
the relative motion past the cylinder, but now
V²[psi]´ + 2R = 0, (7)
throughout the liquid.
Inside an equilateral triangle, for instance, of height h,
[psi]´ = -2R[alpha][beta][gamma]/h, (8)
where [alpha], [beta], [gamma] are the perpendiculars on the sides of
the triangle.
In the general case [psi]´ = [psi] + Uy - Vx + ½R(x² + y²) is the
relative stream function for velocity components, U, V, R.
29. _Example 1._--Liquid motion past a circular cylinder.
Consider the motion given by
[omega] = U(z + a²/z), (1)
so that
/ a²\ / a² \
[phi] = U ( r + -- ) cos [theta] = U ( 1 + -- )x, (2)
\ r / \ r² /
/ a²\ / a² \
[psi] = U ( r - -- ) sin [theta] = U ( 1 - -- )y.
\ r / \ r² /
Then [psi] = 0 over the cylinder r = a, which may be considered a
fixed post; and a stream line past it along which [psi] = Uc, a
constant, is the curve
/ a²\
( r - -- ) sin [theta] = c, (x² + y²)(y - c) - a²y = 0 (3)
\ r /
a cubic curve (C3).
Over a concentric cylinder, external or internal, of radius r = b,
/ a²\
[psi]´ = [psi] + U1y = [U ( 1 - --- ) + U1] y, (4)
\ b²/
and [psi]´ is zero if
U1/U = (a² - b²)/b²; (5)
so that the cylinder may swim for an instant in the liquid without
distortion, with this velocity U1, and [omega] in (1) will give the
liquid motion in the interspace between the fixed cylinder r = a and
the concentric cylinder r = b, moving with velocity U1.
