Solution: Set F = 0 in Prob. 8.48 and find the proper pressure from Bernoulli:
Fup = 0 if

p i = po U 2 , but also p i = p A = p o (2U sin A )2

(or 55 = poor position on rear of body)

8.50 It is desired to simulate flow past a ridge or bump by using a streamline above the
flow over a cylinder, as shown in Fig. P8.50. The bump is to be a/2 high, as shown. What
is the proper elevation h of this streamline? What is Umax on the bump compared to U?

Fig. P8.50

Solution: Apply the equation of the streamline (Eq. 8.32) to =180 and also 90:
a2
= U sin r at = 180 (the freestream) gives = U h
r

a2
Then, at = 90, r = h + , = U h = U sin 90 h +

2 h + a/2

Solve for h = a Ans. (corresponds to r = 2a)

The velocity at the hump (r = 2a, = 90) then follows from Eq. (8.33):
U max

= U sin 90 1 +

8.51 Modify Prob. 8.50 above as follows: Let the bump be such that Umax = 1.5U. Find
(a) the upstream elevation h; and (b) the height Z of the bump.
