AE 401 Advanced Aerodynamics Rankine Ovals The previous flow example has limited application since the body isn’t closed but extends downstream to x??. A simple way of closing the body is to add a sink downstream of the source and of equal strength. For symmetry purposes, we will also move the origin to be halfway between the source and sink. Thus: Since the center of the source and sink are no longer on the origin, the definitions of r and ? in terms of x and y also change. Rankine Ovals [2] For any point (x,y) in space, the following relations apply: And the stream function solution is: Rankine Ovals [3] The stream (and potential) function solution to this case looks lie: This body type is known as a Rankine Oval. Rankine Ovals [4] First lets find the length of this body. Note that for this flow, there are two stagnations points – one at both the leading edge and trailing edges. To determine the location of these points on the y axis, once again find where u=0. At the stagnation point (xs,0) Rankine Ovals [5] With reduction, this expression becomes: Or The streamline which forms the body shape is found from the value of psi at the right stagnation point: Since psi is zero on the surface, the following relationship exists: Rankine Ovals [6] Or, the difference in the two angles is: Where a nondimensional source strength, q, is defined by: Taking the tangent of the first equation, substituting for the tangent of the angles, and then solving for x, the following equation is found for the surface: Which is really x(Y) rather than Y(x) – but is the best we can do. Rankine Ovals [6] Just for completeness, the u and v components of this flow velocity are: And, once again, the pressure coefficients can be found from: But I really doubt it this can be simplified to a short simple equation. Doublets and Cylinders While Rankine ovals are not a common aerodynamic shape, they do lead to one that is – cylinders. First, consider a source/sink pair
