Polar Coordinate given Surface Velocity for Flow over Sphere Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Polar Angle = asin(2/3*Tangential Velocity/Freestream Velocity)
θ = asin(2/3*V_θ/V_∞)
This formula uses 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
asin - The inverse sine function, is a trigonometric function that takes a ratio of two sides of a right triangle and outputs the angle opposite the side with the given ratio., asin(Number)

Variables Used

Polar Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Polar Angle is the angular position of a point from a reference direction.
Tangential Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Tangential Velocity is the component of velocity in the tangential direction.
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

Tangential Velocity: 66 Meter per Second --> 66 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Freestream Velocity: 68 Meter per Second --> 68 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

θ = asin(2/3*V_θ/V_∞) --> asin(2/3*66/68)

Evaluating ... ...

θ = 0.703720508083224

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.703720508083224 Radian --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.703720508083224 ≈ 0.703721 Radian <-- Polar Angle

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.
