() What terms can be dropped? 1

2 Answer: By two approaches Intuitive arguments Scale analysis 4. The Boundary Layer Concept: Simplification of Governing Equations 4..1 Qualitative Description

3 Under certain conditions the action of viscosity is confined to a thin region near the surface called the viscous or velocity boundary layer Under certain conditions thermal interaction between moving fluid and a surface is confined to a thin region near the surface called the thermal or temperature boundary layer Conditions for viscous boundary layer: (1) Slender body without flow separation () High Reynolds number ( Re > 100) Conditions for thermal boundary layer: 3

4 (1) Slender body without flow separation () High product of Reynolds and Prandtl ( RePr > 100) numbers ρv L c pµ ρc pv L Peclet Number Pe RePr (4.1) µ k k (1) Fluid velocity at surface vanishes () Rapid changes across BL to V (3) Rapid changes temperature across BL from T s to T () Boundary layers are thin: For air at 10 m/s parallel to 1.0 m long plate, δ 6 mm at end (3) Viscosity plays negligible role outside the viscous BL (4) Boundary layers eist in both forced and free convection flows 4

8 Insect dilemma: Too windy at position 0, where to go? Move to position 4! Conclusion: Changes in u with respect to y are more pronounced than changes with respect to u Neglect in (.10) u u << y Pressure terms in (.10) and (.10y): Slender body Streamlines are nearly parallel Small vertical velocity (4.) 8

9 p y 0 p depends on only, i.e. p p() p dp d (4.) and (4.4) into (.10) gives: dp d Boundary layer -momentum equation Continuity equation (.) and the -momentum boundary layer equation (4.5) contain three unknowns: u, v, and p (4.3) (4.4) u 1 dp u v + (4.5) u u + y ρ ν y 9

10 p is pressure at edge of BL (y δ), obtained from solution of inviscid flow outside BL (ii) Scale Analysis Use scaling to arrive at BL approimations. Assign a scale to each term in an equation Slender body Free stream velocity Length L BL thickness Postulate: δ V δ << 1 L (4.6) 10

11 If (4.6) is valid, we pose three questions: (1) What terms in the governing equations can be dropped? () Is normal pressure gradient negligible compared to aial pressure gradient? (3) Under what conditions is (4.6) valid? Assign scales: u V V y δ Apply (4.7) to continuity (.) L (4.7a) (4.7b) (4.7c) v y u 11

12 Using (4.7) Solving for v v << V v δ V L Conclusion: Order of magnitude of inertia and viscous terms -momentum equation (.10) First inertia term: u u Second inertial term: v V δ L V V L (4.7d) (a) u V v v y δ 1
