Freestream Velocity given Maximum Surface Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Freestream Velocity = 2/3*Maximum Surface Velocity
V_∞ = 2/3*V_s,max
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Freestream Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Freestream Velocity is the velocity of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body, that is before the body has a chance to deflect, slow down or compress the air.
Maximum Surface Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Maximum Surface Velocity is the velocity the fluid can reach when it is flowing over the surface of the body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Surface Velocity: 102 Meter per Second --> 102 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_∞ = 2/3*V_s,max --> 2/3*102

Evaluating ... ...

V_∞ = 68

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

68 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

68 Meter per Second <-- Freestream Velocity

What are the characteristics of the flow field near and far from the sphere?

The flow lines are straight and uniform in the free stream far in front of the sphere, but they are deflected as they pass around the sphere. For a large distance away from the sphere the flow lines become somewhat more widely spaced, indicating that the fluid velocity is less than the free-stream velocity.
