Maximum Surface Velocity for Flow over Sphere Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Maximum Surface Velocity = 3/2*Freestream Velocity
Vs,max = 3/2*V
This formula uses 2 Variables
Variables Used
Maximum Surface Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Maximum Surface Velocity is the velocity the fluid can reach when it is flowing over the surface of the body.
Freestream Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Freestream Velocity is the velocity of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body, that is before the body has a chance to deflect, slow down or compress the air.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Freestream Velocity: 68 Meter per Second --> 68 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Vs,max = 3/2*V --> 3/2*68
Evaluating ... ...
Vs,max = 102
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
102 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
102 Meter per Second <-- Maximum Surface Velocity
(Calculation completed in 00.019 seconds)

5 Surface Velocity Calculators

Polar Coordinate given Surface Velocity for Flow over Sphere
Go Polar Angle = asin(2/3*Tangential Velocity/Freestream Velocity)
Freestream Velocity given Surface Velocity for Flow over Sphere
Go Freestream Velocity = 2/3*Tangential Velocity/sin(Polar Angle)
Surface Velocity for Incompressible Flow over Sphere
Go Tangential Velocity = 3/2*Freestream Velocity*sin(Polar Angle)
Freestream Velocity given Maximum Surface Velocity
Go Freestream Velocity = 2/3*Maximum Surface Velocity
Maximum Surface Velocity for Flow over Sphere
Go Maximum Surface Velocity = 3/2*Freestream Velocity

Maximum Surface Velocity for Flow over Sphere Formula

Maximum Surface Velocity = 3/2*Freestream Velocity
Vs,max = 3/2*V

What are the characteristics of the flow field near and far from the sphere?

The flow lines are straight and uniform in the free stream far in front of the sphere, but they are deflected as they pass around the sphere. For a large distance away from the sphere the flow lines become somewhat more widely spaced, indicating that the fluid velocity is less than the free-stream velocity.
