Maximum Surface Velocity for Flow over Sphere Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Freestream Velocity: 68 Meter per Second --> 68 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_s,max = 3/2*V_∞ --> 3/2*68

Evaluating ... ...

V_s,max = 102

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

102 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

102 Meter per Second <-- Maximum Surface Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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.
