FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL QUANTITIES OF AERODYNAMICS(FLOWING GAS)

Fundamental Physical Quantities of Aerodynamics (Flowing gas)

  • The flow of air over the surface of an airplane is the basic source of the lifting or sustaining force that allows a heavier then air machine to fly
  • the science that deals with the flow of air or gas is called aerodynamics 
  • four fundamental physical quantities in the language aerodynamics are pressure, density, temperature and velocity of flow

PRESSURE   'P'

  • Pressure is the normal force per unit area exerted on a surface due to the time rate of change of momentum of the gas molecules impacting on the surface
p=F(normal)/a
  • units of pressure  N/m2  , pascal , bar , atm , lb/ft2 
  • Some conversations      
 1 ft = 30.48 cm
1 kg =2,205 ponds (Lbm)
1 slug = 32.3 Lbm
1 mile = 1609.3 m = 1.609 km

DENSITY  "ρ "

  •   the density of the substance is the mass of the substance per unit volume
  • units of density    Kg/m3 ,  slug/ft3   

TEMPERATURE

  • temperature is measure of coldness (or) hotness of a body
(or)
  • temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of the particles in the gas/air
mean molecular kinetic energy is given as
where          k = boltzman constant
                       =1.38 X 10-23   j/k   
                    T = temperature


SCALES AND UNITS

Relationship Between The Scale Reading Of Temperature

FLOW VELOCITY 'v'

  • the velocity at any fixed point in a flowing gas is the velocity of an infinitesimally small fluid element  as it sweeps through that point 
  • velocity is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction
  • velocity is a point property and varies from point to point in flow

note 

streamlines

  • the path taken by a moving fluid element is called a streamline of the flow
  • streamlines are imaginary lines used to visualize the motion of the gas

the sources of all aerodynamic forces

THE SOURCE OF ALL AERODYNAMIC FORCES A knowledge of four basic aerodynamics quantities (P, 𝞺,T and v ) at each point of the flow fully defines the flow field  The air flow over the surface of any body in the flow creates anaerodynamic force on the body the aerodynamic forces by the airflow on the surface of an airplane,missile,.....etc stems from only two natural sources                                         1. pressure distribution on the surface                                         2. shear stress distribution on the surface pressure exerted by the gas on the solid surface of the object always acts normal to the surface the net unbalance of the varying pressure distribution over the surface of airplane creates an aerodynamic force which is known as lift the s...

BUCKINGHAM'S PI THEOREM

BUCKINGHAM'S PI THEOREM  The  Buckingham  π  theorem  is a key  theorem  in  dimensional analysis . Buckingham ' s Pi theorem states that:    If there are n variables in a problem and these variables contain m primary dimensions (for example M, L, T) the equation relating all the variables will have (n-m) dimensionless groups.   Buckingham referred to these groups as π groups.   The final equation obtained is in the form of :                                                               π l = f(π 2 , π 3 ,….. π n-m )   The π groups must be independent of each other and no one group should be formed by multiplying together powers of other groups.   This method offers the advantage of being ...
