Consider a steady inviscid, incompressible fluid of constant density in the absence of external body forces. A cylindrical jet of area and speed impinges fully on a stationary sphere of radius with . The flow is assumed to remain axisymmetric and be deflected into a conical sheet of vertex angle .
(i) Show that the speed of the fluid in the conical sheet is constant.
(ii) Use conservation of mass to show that the width of the fluid sheet at a distance from point of impact is given by
(iii) Use Euler's equation to derive the momentum integral equation
for a closed surface with normal where is the th component of the velocity field in cartesian coordinates and is the pressure.
(iv) Use the result from (iii) to calculate the net force on the sphere.
