Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) 1 2 PRANDTL BOUNDARY LAYER EQUATIONS for steady flow are Continuity N-S (approx) • If we solve these, we can get Vx, (and hence d). • Alternative: We can integrate this equation and obtain an equation in d and shear stress t.
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) • If we assume a rough velocity profile (for the boundary layer), we can get a fairly accurate relationship • Integration is ‘tolerant’ of changes in shape • For all the above 3 curves, the integration (area under the curve) will provide the same result (more or less), even though the shapes are very different
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) Pressure gradient (approx) 1 2 3a 3b Prandtl equations for steady flow are Continuity N-S (approx) What is Vy?
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) 4 5 Substitute (3a) and (3b) in (2) Integrate (4) with respect to y, from 0 to infinity
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) Eqn. 5: On the RHS Eqn 5: On the LHS, for the marked part Integration by Parts. Let
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) This is for the marked region in LHS of Eqn 5
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) 6 Substituting in equation (5) To write equation (6) in a more meaningful form: 1. To equation (6), add and subtract
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) 7 ... and multiply both sides by -1 2. Note 3. Also
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) Combining the above two
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) Equation (7) becomes • First term is momentum thickness • Second term is displacement thickness • (Note: The density term is ‘extra’ here) • Note: Integral method is not only applied to Boundary Layer. It can be applied for other problems also.
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) Example Assume velocity profile It has to satisfy B.C. For zero pressure gradient For example, use
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) Or for example, use What condition should we impose on a and b? What is the velocity gradient at y=d ?
Von Karman Integral Method (BSL) What is the velocity at y=d ? Check for other two Boundary Conditions No slip condition OK For zero pressure gradient OK
Now, to substitute in the von Karman Eqn, find shear stress Also Von Karman equation gives
Calculation for comes out ok Calculation for Cf also comes out ok Even if velocity profile is not accurate, prediction is tolerable
