1. A Newtonian fluid of density ρ and viscosity μ fills the annular gap
between concentric cylinders as shown blow. The inner cylinder of
radius R1 is stationary, and the outer cylinder of radius R2 rotates steadily
at a constant angular speed ω. The flow between the cylinders is laminar
and incompressible. Assume steady, purely circulating motion, 2D flow,
circumferentially symmetric pressure, and neglect gravity. Simplify the
continuity and momentum equations and use appropriate boundary
conditions to determine the velocity distribution in the gap.
The equations of motion of an incompressible Newtonian fluid with constant
density and viscosity in cylindrical coordinates (r, θ, z) with velocity
components (vr, vθ, vz):

2. As wind blows over a chimney, vortices are shedding in the wake as shown in the Figure below.
The dimensional shedding frequency f depends on chimney diameter D, chimney length L, wind
velocity V, and air kinematic viscosity ν. (a) Find dimensionless f which depends on dimensionless
groups. If a 1/10th scale model were to be tested in a wind tunnel and full dynamic similarity was
required: (b) what air velocity would be necessary in the wind tunnel compared to the wind velocity
experienced by the full-scale chimney?; (c) what shedding frequency would be observed in the
wind tunnel compared to the shedding frequency generated by the full-scale chimney?

3. A tank of water with depth h is to be drained by a 5-cm-diameter exit pipe. Water density is 998
kg/m3, water viscosity is 0.001 kg/ms. The pipe extends out for 15 m and a turbine and an open
globe valve are located on the pipe. The head provided by the turbine is ht = 10 m. (a) If the exit
flow rate is Q = 0.04 m3/s, calculate h assuming there are no minor losses, the turbine is 100%
efficient, and the pipe is smooth. (b) Calculate Q if h is same as part (a) but there are minor losses
(K = 0.5 for the sharp entrance and K = 6.9 for the open globe valve), the turbine has an efficiency
of 80%, and the pipe is rough with ε = 0.3 mm. Use the value of f from part (a) as initial guess and
stop at the end of the second iteration.
