18 CHAPTER 1. POTENTIAL FLOW:3. Determine the energy dissipation due to the motion of a sphere at highReynolds number, assuming that the fluid velocity field is given by thepotential <strong>flow</strong> solution. Using this, find the drag force on the sphere. Howdoes it compare to the drag force on a sphere at zero Reynolds number?The rate of dissipation of energy is given by,∫D = dV µ(∇u:∇u)4. Consider a bubble with internal pressure p b expanding in a fluid in whichthe pressure a large distance from the bubble is p 0 . The radius of thebubble R(t) is a function of time as it expands.(a) Solve the potential <strong>flow</strong> equations to determine the fluid velocity fielddue to the expanding bubble.(b) Determine the pressure at the surface of the bubble.(c) Form a pressure balance condition, find the equation for the evolutionof the bubble radius.5. Consider two line sources of strength −m and m separated by a distanced along the x axis, in a fluid <strong>flow</strong>ing with a constant velocity U in thex direction. What is the equation for the shape of the object which isequivalent to these two sources? Show that in the limit d → 0 and (md)finite, the object assumes the shape of a cylinder, and find its radius.6. Consider the transform from the z to the z ′ plane given byz = z ′ + a2z ′(a) Determine the relations between the coordinates (x ′ , y ′ ) and (x, y).(b) Consider a circle of radius a in the z ′ plane. What is the transformedshape in the z plane? If we consider the <strong>flow</strong> past the cylinder in thez ′ planeF(z ′ ) = z ′ + a2z ′in the z ′ plane, what is the equivalent <strong>flow</strong> in the z plane?(c) Consider a circle of radius b > a in the z ′ plane. What is the transformedshape in the z plane? If we consider the <strong>flow</strong> past the cylinderin the z ′ planeF(z ′ ) = z ′ + b2z ′in the z ′ plane, what is the equivalent <strong>flow</strong> in the z plane?
