Term
|
Definition
A representative set of atmosphere conditions for computational purposes. Represents pressure, density and temperature at sea level
p(s) = 101,325 N/m^2 = 2116.2 lb/ft^2
ro(s) = 1.2250 kg/m^3 = 0.002377 slugs/ft^3
T(s) = 288.16 K = 518.69 R |

Term
|
Definition
The force that points up due to displacement of fluid
F(b) = ro*Volume |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Density (ro), pressure (p), velocity (v), temperature (T) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
S(1)*v(1)= S(2)*v(2) (incompressible)
ro(1)*S(1)*v(1)= ro(2)*S(2)*v(2) (compressible)
basically means air in a streamline can't be destroyed, the toal mass going in and out must be the same at every instance
v(2) = v(1)*(S(1)/S(2)) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
P(2) + (ro*(v(2)^2)/2) = P(1) + (ro*(v(1)^2)/2) = B
^^incompressible
Also know compressible- too long to type.
(gamma/gamma-1)(P(t)/ro(t)).... |

|
Term
Total pressure/Stagnation pressure |
|
Definition
static pressure+dynamic pressure (incompressible)
P(0) (1 + ((gamma-1)*(M(0)^2))/2)^
(gamma/(gamma-1))
^^(compressible) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
measures total (stagnation) pressure
pitot-static can measure static pressure as well, allowing dynamic pressure and velocity to be calculated
p(1) - p(2) = w*dh |
|
|
Term
adiabatic, reversible and isentropic flow |
|
Definition
adiabatic - a process in which no heat is added or taken away. dQ=0
reversible - a process in which no frictional or other dissibpatice effects occur
isentropic - a process that is both adiabatic and reversible |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

Term
Superposition/Superimposing flows |
|
Definition
we are permitted to superimpose simple flow patterns to create complex flow by the Principle of superposition
-simple flows can be combined together provided that the addition is done vectorically

Definition
Γ=Velocity*2*pi*r (for a line)
Γ=Velocity*4*pi*r (for a half line)

Term
|
Definition
training edge is sharp and therefore, stagnation pt is at trailing edge
Keeps circulation high which leads to more lift |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
lift and drag are impossible |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Making the wing finite creates a 3D flow. leaking effects add another dimention to flow. Creates downwash and vortecies tend to merge. |
