STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Tangential Velocity = 3/2*Freestream Velocity*sin(Polar Angle)
V_θ = 3/2*V_∞*sin(θ)
This formula uses 1 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)

Variables Used

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.
Polar Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Polar Angle is the angular position of a point from a reference direction.

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.
