Magnus effect (2)
A infinitely long rotating cylinder (R = 1.1 m) is placed in a free-stream flow (VO = 15 knots) of water. The cylinder is rotating at 45 rpm and the ambient pressure far away is 1.1 E+5 Pa.
(a) Calculate and plot the pressure distribution on the cylinder surface.
(b) Find the maximum and minimum pressures on the cylinder surface.
(c) Find the location θ where the pressure on the cylinder surface is the fluid pressure far away from the cylinder.
