Input interpretation
potential and velocity distribution due to a vortex
Input values
vortex strength | 0.5 m^2/s (square meters per second) radial distance | 10 cm (centimeters)
Results
transverse velocity component | -0.7958 m/s (meters per second) radial velocity component | 0 m/s (meters per second) (assuming the vortex to be situated at the coordinate origin) u_θ=(-Γ)/(2 π r) u_r=0 Ψ=(Γ log(r))/(2 π) Φ=(-Γ θ)/(2 π) Γ | vortex strength/circulation u_θ | transverse velocity component u_r | radial velocity component Ψ | stream function Φ | velocity potential
