8.3 Method of Images058:0160 Chapter 8Professor Fred Stern Fall 2009 1Chapter 8: Inviscid Incompressible Flow: a Useful Fantasy8.1 IntroductionFor high Re external flow about streamlined bodies viscous effects are confined toboundary layer and wake region. For regions where the B.L is thin i.e. favorable pressuregradient regions, Viscous/Inviscid interaction is weak and traditional B.L theory can beused. For regions where B.L is thick and/or the flow is separated i.e. adverse pressuregradient regions more advanced boundary layer theory must be used includingviscous/Inviscid interactions. For internal flows at high Re viscous effects are always important except near theentrance. Recall that vorticity is generated in regions with large shear. Therefore, outsidethe B.L and wake and if there is no upstream vorticity then ω=0 is a good approximation.Note that for compressible flow this is not the case in regions of large entropy gradient. Also, we are neglecting noninertial effects and other mechanisms of vorticity generation.Potential flow theory1) Determine from solution to Laplace equation02B.C:at BS: . 0 0V nnf�= � =� at S: V f=�Note: F: Surface Function1058:0160 Chapter 8Professor Fred Stern Fall 2009 210 . 0 .DF F FV F V nDt t F t� �= � + � = � =-�Ѷ for steady flow . 0V n =2) Determine V from V f=� and p(x) from Bernoulli equationTherefore, primarily for external flow application we now consider inviscid flow theory (0) and incompressible flow (const)Euler equation:. 0.
