Aerospace Engineering > GATE 2015 > Potential Flow
Consider a 2-D blunt body in an incompressible fluid stream. The flow is irrotational and can be modeled as a linear combination of a uniform flow and a line source (Rankine half body) as shown below. Let s be the distance of the line source from the front stagnation point. Let d be the upstream distance from the stagnation point to the streamwise location (labeled below as P) where the oncoming stream reaches 90% of its undisturbed velocity. Then d/s=_______

Correct : 8.9 to 9.1
