Abstract
Studies were made on the apparent increase in mass on acceleration (added mass) of a sphere accelerated from rest and before boundary-layer separation, in cylinders of various diameters filled with water or oil. From a comparison of theoretical and experimentally obtained added masses, the following conclusions were drawn: In the absence of wall effects on the boundary layer, the wall shear stress over elements of the sphere can be approximated by the solution for the flat plate moving parallel to itself and the potential flow over the elements outside the boundary layer. The impulse on the elements is obtained by integration with respect to time, and the wall drag and drag impulse on the sphere by integration over the sphere surface. Good theoretical and experimental agreement obtains under the assumption that a mass of fluid, estimated from the wall drag impulse, is carried in the boundary layer and may be university distributed over the sphere.
