Should have mentioned
 
groups had a full 50 minute class period to work on it....another to discuss it

Hi Robert
 
Here is an exercise from an aerodynamics course.......check the result summary......great way to present students answers that fosters great student discussions
 

In short, to solve this problem fully, students had to:

- determine the velocity field around the wing (this required quite involved numerical analysis in the topic of potential flow)

- identify a region in the flow field with flow speed and direction that met requirements stated or implied in the problem

- use the potential flow results to compute the drag force on the pitot tube to ensure stiffness and strength were sufficient

- ensure the pitot tube was sufficiently far away from the boundary layer (viscous flow effect region) on the wing

 

This exercise tied together the three major course elements to that point (potential flow, boundary layers, and force coefficients) and introduced them to the next major element (airfoils).

 

I also have attached a lesson learned document from a mechanical design course from last year

 

Jim

Hi

 

Would it be possible to get a copy of your pitot tube exercise and the result chart??

 

I would love to use it as an example......in my next TBL workshop.

 

Thanks

 

Jim
