Example
An incompressible, inviscid flow past a circular cylinder of diameter d is
shown below. The flow variation along the approaching stagnation streamline
(A-B) can be expressed as:
V ( x, y 0) u( x )i ,

Along A-B streamline, the velocity drops very fast as the particle
approaches the cylinder. At the surface of the cylinder, the velocity is
zero (stagnation point) and the surface pressure is a maximum.
Example (cont.)
Determine the acceleration experienced by a particle as it flows along the
stagnation streamline.
