    Question regarding incompressible airflow

    Isn't the third term irrelevant in this scenario? There is no elevation change so I'm not sure that I understand the necessity for the third term (gz) Maybe the way to explain the decrease in velocity is with this equation? mass flow rate = ρ.v.A Making the assumption that the mass flow rate...

    Question regarding incompressible airflow

    -well mathematically, I would think that we should look at the following equation Total Pressure (constant) = P + ρv2/2 Assuming that the density remains constant, we can see that a lower static pressure results in an increase in velocity. Is that what you had in mind or am I missing...

    Question regarding incompressible airflow

    Hi, Thanks for your help! I believe that we can assume that the airflow is incompressible if its velocity is low enough compared to the speed of sound. That's where my assumption came from. -First, I believe that if the velocity were the same on the two sides, the mass flow rate (and hence...

    Question regarding incompressible airflow

    Hi I am trying to teach myself some of the basics of aerodynamics and one situation was problematic for me. I was unable to make sense of it. I thought that you guys could most likely help me. Just please keep in mind that my knowledge of these things is very limited since I've never actually...
