Chapter 9, Problem 9.37P
A long cylinder is placed into a wind tunnel and aligned perpendicular to an oncoming freestream. Static wall pressure taps are located circumferentially about the centerline of the cylinder at 45-degree increments with 0 degrees at the impact (stagnation) position. Each tap is connected to a separate manometer referenced to atmosphere. A pitot-static tube indicates an upstream dynamic pressure of 20.3 cm H2O, which is used to determine the freestream velocity. The following static pressures are measured:
| Tap (degrees) |
p (cm H2O) | Tap (degrees) |
p (cm H2O) |
| 0 | 0.0 | 135 | 5.0 |
| 30 | 20.3 | 180 | 5.2 |
| 90 | 81.3 |
Compute the local velocities around the cylinder if the total pressure in the flow remains constant. Patm = 101-3 kPa abs, Tatm = 16 °C.
