12. a) i) Derive an expression for stream function and velocity potential function for
a vortex flow. (9)
b) i) With aid of suitable sketches explain the real flow over a rough and smooth
circular cylinder. (6)
ii) A source with strength 0.2 m3/s per meter and a vortex with strength 1 m3/s
are located at the origin. Determine the equation for velocity potential and
stream function. What are the velocity components x = lm and y = 0.5m ? (7)

Determine :
i) Downwash
ii) Induced angle of attack
iii) Induced drag.
(OR)
b) Prove that the geometric angle of attack is equal to the sum of the effective
angle of attack plus the induced angle of attack.
15. a) Prove Blasius theorem for incompressible flow over a flat plate.
(OR)
b) Consider the flow over a small flat plate which is 8 cm long in the flow direction
and 1 m wide. The freestream conditions correspond to standard sea level and
the flow velocity is 120 m/s. Assuming laminar flow, calculate the boundary
layer thickness at the downstream edge and the drag force on the plate. For
the same flow over the same plate, assume that the boundary layer is now
completely turbulent. Calculate the boundary layer thickness at the trailing
edge and the drag force on the plate.

16. a) Find the resultant velocity vector induced at point A in Fig. 16(a) due to the
combination of uniform stream, line source, line sink and line vortex.

(OR)
b) A thin aerofoil has a camber line defined by the relation y = kx(x – 1) (x – 2)
where x and y are its co-ordinates expressed in terms of unit chord and the
origin is at the leading edge. If the maximum chamber is 2% of the chord,
determine the low speed two dimensional pitching moment coefficient at 3°
incidence.
