Which of these terms in the momentum equation for θ – component represents the Coriolis force?(a) \(\rho v_r\frac{∂v_\theta}{\partial r}\)(b) \(\frac{\rho v_\theta}{r}\frac{\partial v_\theta}{\partial \theta} \)(c) \(\frac{\rho v_r v_\theta}{r}\)(d) \(\frac{\partial v_\theta}{\partial r}\)I had been asked this question in an interview for internship.Query is from Numerical Methods in division Numerical Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (c) \(\frac{\rho v_r v_\theta}{R}\)

To ELABORATE: The term \(\frac{\rho v_r v_\theta}{r}\) REPRESENTS Coriolis force in the θ – momentum equation. Coriolis force arises due to the motion of the coordinate system taken. The term \(\frac{\rho v_r v_\theta}{r}\) represents the source or SINK of θ -momentum.
