Inviscid Flow
• Shearing stress in a fluid motion is related to viscosity and velocity gradient.
• All real fluids have a certain nonzero viscosity.
• But there may be regions in a flow field where change in velocity and therefore
shear stress is negligibly small.
• These regions are usually away from the solid walls (outside boundary layers).
• In these regions flow may be treated to be inviscid (frictionless).

Reference: Munson, Young, Okiiishi

1-2
Inviscid Flow (cont’d)
• For an inviscid flow Navier-Stokes equation reduces to Euler’s equation.
• Further it is possible to use Bernoulli’s equation along a streamline.
• However, considering a flow field to be totally inviscid may result in unrealistic
results.
• For example, a body immersed in a uniform, inviscid flow will not experience any
drag force, which contraditcs with experiments (d’Alambert’s paradox).

• An inviscid flow disregards the no slip boundary


condition and therefore no boundary layer can
develop over the body.
• Also the separation and the wake behind the
body can not be predicted by considering the
whole flow field to be inviscid.
Boundary layer separation
over a body is the result of
viscous action.

1-3
Inviscid Flow and Rotation
• For an inviscid flow there are no shearing forces.
• Only pressure and body forces act on a fluid element, neither of which can cause
the element to rotate.
• Although there are other ways to make a flow rotational (such as going through a
shock wave in compressible flow), viscous action is by far the most common one.
• Therefore in an inviscid flow, fluid elements originating from an irrotational region
will not posses any rotation.

In an inviscid flow a fluid element


that originates from an irrotational
flow region will remain irrotational.

Irrotational Flow
• In this chapter we’ll study flow fields that are irrotational everywhere.
• This automatically tells that these flow fields are also inviscid everywhere.
• Although a completely irrotational flow field is not realistic, studying irrotational
flows is useful because
• real world flows contain large irrotational regions away from solid surfaces.
• they have very simple mathematics and can be studied analytically.
• they show us the importance of boundary layers, viscous forces and related
physics.
• they provide very valuable insight such as the generation of lift force by a
wing.

1-5
Vorticity
• In ME 305 we studied vorticity to be a kinematic property of a flow field, which is
related to the angular velocity (rotationality) of fluid particles.

Circulation (Γ)

closely related to the rotationality of the flow.

Relation Between Circulation and Vorticity
• Using Stokes’ theorem (studied in ME 210) line integral of circulation can be
transformed into a surface integral.

Circulation and Vorticity
• Important : For Stokes’ theorem to be applicable
• 𝑉 should be defined properly and should be continuously differentiable over
the area 𝐴.
• Area 𝐴 should be simply connected (should not contain any holes).

Velocity Potential (𝜙)
• For an irrotational flow : 𝛻 × 𝑉 = 0
• As studied in ME 210, curl of the gradient of any scalar function is zero.
𝛻 × 𝛻𝜙 = 0

• Using these two equations we can define a velocity potential function as

𝑉 = +𝛻𝜙
Some books use a minus sign so that 𝜙
decreases in the flow direction, similar to A scalar function called
temperature decreasing in the heat flow velocity potential
direction. But we use plus in this course.

• In an irrotational flow field, velocity vector can be expressed as the gradient of a


scalar function called the velocity potential.
• Due to the possibility of defining a velocity potential function, irrotational flows
are also called potential flows.

• To obtain complicated flow fields we can combine elementary ones such as


• Uniform flow
• Source/sink
• Vortex

1. Uniform Flow
• Consider uniform flow in the 𝑥𝑦 plane parallel to the 𝑥 axis, in +𝑥 direction.
𝑢=𝑈 , 𝑣=0

simply use a negative 𝑞 value.

3. Irrotational Vortex
• For an irrotational vortex located at the origin of the 𝑥𝑦 plane, origin is a singular
point.
• The flow field is irrotational except the origin. Circulation around any path that
does not enclose the origin is zero.
• We consider that all the circulation is squeezed into the origin.
• Velocity components are
𝐾
𝑉𝜃 = , 𝑉𝑟 = 0
𝑟
• In slide 1-11 we showed that for a path enclosing the origin, circulation is

Γ = 2𝜋𝐾

which is known as the strength of the vortex.

• Direction of the vortex is determined as Γ > 0 : CCW rotating vortex


Γ < 0 : CW rotating vortex

frictional drag force. Also viscous action will cause separation & full pressure
