FLOW OVER A SOLID WALL: SURFACE
MOMENTUM-TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS
 Applications:
 Design of automobiles
 Design of aircraft, etc.
 Property of interest:
 Momentum exchange between surface & surrounding
fluid
 Associated net force
 “drag” in streamwise direction

 ‘lift” in direction perpendicular to motion
 Obtained by solving relevant conservation equations,
subject to relevant boundary conditions, or
 By experiments on full-scale or small-scale models
Momentum exchange between the moving fluid and a representative

segment of a solid surface (confining wall or immersed body)
 X  approach stream direction
 x  distance along surface
 n  distance normal to surface
 p (x,0)  local pressure
 vx (x,n)  velocity field

 tnx (x,0) = tw(x)  local wall shear stress
 Associated momentum exchange:
 Force on fluid
 Equal & opposite force on solid

 Solid surface motionless => vn (x,0) = 0
 vx (x,0) ≠ 0 => nonzero “slip” velocity

 However, experimentally: local tangential velocity of
fluid = that of solid, i.e., 0, under continuum conditions
 Wall shear stress depends on local fluid-deformation rate:
 vx 
t w ( x)   w  
 n  n 0
 Can be determined if local normal gradient of
tangential fluid velocity can be measured
 Dimensionless local momentum transfer coefficients:
 Pressure coefficient:
p( x,0)  p
C p ( x) 

U 2
and 2
 Skin-friction coefficient

 Measured or predicted

gravitational body-force effects, Bernoulli’s equation
yields: 1 1 2

 Reflects negligibility of viscous dissipation far from

surface
This equation implies that:

and hence:
C f ( x)
c f ( x) 

and pressure- coefficients around a circular cylinder in a cross-flow

(polar angle expressed in radians)

 cos  term  from (locally normal) pressure force (“form”
drag)
 sin  term  from (locally tangential) aerodynamic shear

force (“friction” drag)
 Thus, drag coefficient may be split into:
 CD cylinder   CD  form   CD  friction

 Asymptotic theories: Re >> 1, Re << 1
 Re >> 1 case is of greatest engineering interest
 e.g., flow past flat plate at zero incidence

 Momentum Diffusion Boundary Layer Theory: Laminar
Flow Past Flat Plate at Zero Incidence
 1904: L Prandtl
 large but finite Reynolds number

 vn and vx vanish at solid surface
 Thin transition layer near surface across which vx
abruptly drops to zero
 Inside this “boundary layer”, velocity gradients
vx / n large enough to make momentum diffusion
important (though  is small)
 Exterior: inviscid region
Division of flow field at Re1/2 >>1 into an inviscid “outer” region and a thin
tangential momentum diffusion boundary layer (BL)(after L. Prandtl).
 1904: L Prandtl
 For Re >> 1, within the BL:

 vn << vx
 Momentum diffusion important, but only in normal
direction (tnx >> txx)
 Pressure at any streamwise location x is nearly
constant– i.e., p ≈ pe(x)
 BL equations therefore simplified, solutions to match
inner behavior of external inviscid flow
 e.g., 2D steady flow of incompressible constant-
property Newtonian fluid past a semi-infinite flat
plate at zero incidence (Blasius, 1908)

nclature, and coordinate system
 Laminar BL on a flat plate:
 For thin flat plate, pressure constant everywhere => no
need for y-momentum equation

Subject to boundary conditions:

u  x,    U ,
u ( x,0)  0,

 Nonlinear vector PDE
 Equivalent to 3 independent, scalar 2nd order PDEs
 Includes “Stokes’ Postulate”: bulk viscosity  can be

neglected
 Total mass conservation (“continuity”):

t
CONSERVATION EQUATION GOVERNING
VELOCITY AND PRESURE FIELDS
 Conservation equations provide 4 PDEs for 5 fields: v (3
scalar fields), p, 
 Hence, necessary to specify an EOS for closure
 Unless  is constant (incompressible flow; div v  0)
 “Caloric” EOS: h as a function of T, p
 In addition to usual p (  , T ),  as a function of local

state variables
 Turbulent flows:
 Conservation equations are time-averaged
  replaced by   t
TYPICAL BOUNDARY CONDITOINS
By applying a “pillbox” control volume to straddle a

moving interface, we can write:
Gn  normal component of mass flux
t  tangential plane
Mass balance:
Gn   0
Momentum Balance:
Gn vn     p  t nn 
Tangential linear momentum:
Gn vt   t nt 
TYPICAL BOUNDARY CONDITOINS
 These conservation equations allow:

 Discontinuity in normal component of velocity,
 Discontinuity in pressure across interface,
 Discontinuity in tangential velocity (“slip”) across

interface
 Thus, the “classical” boundary conditions:
vn   0, vt   0,  p  0, t nt   0
are only sometimes true.

TYPICAL INITIAL CONDITOINS
 State of independent field variables at t = 0
 Start-up of a chemical reactor, separator, etc.
 The present, if we want to predict future (e.g., weather,

climate)
 Governing conservation equations are first-order in time
 Invariant wrt shift in origin (zero point) chosen for time
 Principal of “local” action in time (determinacy)
 Future cannot influence present!
 Only applies in time-domain, not space

SOLUTION METHODS
 Coupled PDEs + bc’s + ic’s need not always be solved to

extract valuable information
 e.g., similitude analysis
 Only relatively simple fluid-dynamic problems need to be

solved to interpret instrument readings
 e.g., flowmeters
 Mathematical solutions have become possible with advent

of powerful digital computers
 Computational fluid mechanics, CFD
 Discretizing by finite-difference, finite-element methods

SOLUTION METHODS
 Modularization:
 In sub-regions, explicit results may be possible in
terms of well-known special functions
 e.g., Bessel functions, Legendre polynomials
 Numerical:
 Reduce problem to solution of one lor more nonlinear
ODEs
 Then solve numerically
SOLUTION METHODS
“Road map” of common methods of solution to problems in transport (convection

/diffusion ) theory
SOLUTION METHODS
 Results should be independent of method chosen

 But effort should be minimized!
 Idealizations of complex problems serve a purpose

 Capture concepts
 Bring out qualitative features
 Sanity check on more complex predictions
