From Newtonian theory, prove that the drag coefficient for a circular cylinder of infinite span is 4/3 is the result changed by using modified Newtonian theory? Why?

Step 1
Newtonian theory of fluid mechanics states that the drag force on a body immersed in a fluid is proportional to the square of the velocity of the fluid, the density of the fluid, and the cross-sectional area of the body. This is expressed mathematically as Fd = Show moreā¦

Consider a circular cylinder in a hypersonic flow, with its axis perpendicular to the flow. Let Ļ be the angle measured between radii drawn to the leading edge (the stagnation point) and to any arbitrary point on the cylinder. The pressure coefficient distribution along the cylindrical surface is given by Cp = 2 cos^2 Ļ for 0 ā¤ Ļ ā¤ Ļ/2 and 3Ļ/2 ā¤ Ļ ā¤ 2Ļ and Cp = 0 for Ļ/2 ā¤ Ļ ā¤ 3Ļ/2. Calculate the drag coefficient for the cylinder, based on the projected frontal area of the cylinder.

Fluid flows over a smooth cylinder. The diameter of the cylinder is D and the length normal to the flow direction is L. The drag coefficient is defined as: The drag coefficient is essentially constant with a value of 1.1 in the range of Reynolds numbers of 103 to 105. In this range, at a velocity of 2 m/s the drag force is 3 N. When the velocity is doubled to 4 m/s the drag force is:

When a uniform stream flows past an immersed thick cylinder, a broad low-velocity wake is created downstream, idealized as a $V$ shape in Fig. $P 3.44 .$ Pressures $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ are approximately equal. If the flow is two-dimensional and incompressible, with width $b$ into the paper, derive a formula for the drag force $F$ on the cylinder. Rewrite your result in the form of a dimensionless drag coefficient based on body length $C_{D}=F /\left(\rho \mathrm{U}^{2} b L\right)$.
