Estimate the location of the stagnation point


The velocity distribution over the surface of a sphere upstream of a separation point u=1.5 Usin(theta) where U is the free stream velocity and theta is the angle measured from the forward stagnation point. A pressure of -2.5 in H2o gage is measured atthe point of separation on a sphere in a 100ft/s airflow with a density of 0.07lbm/ft^3. The pressure far upstream of the sphere in atmospheric. Estimate the location of the stagnation point (theta). Separation occurs on the windward side of the sphere.
