What is the effect of fluid flow over sphere?

The flow lines are straight and uniform in the free stream far in front of the sphere, but they are deflected as they pass around the sphere. For a large distance away from the sphere the flow lines become somewhat more widely spaced, indicating that the fluid velocity is less than the free-stream velocity.

How to Calculate Radial Velocity for Flow over Sphere?

Radial Velocity for Flow over Sphere calculator uses Radial Velocity = -(Freestream Velocity-Doublet Strength/(2*pi*Radial Coordinate^3))*cos(Polar Angle) to calculate the Radial Velocity, The Radial Velocity for Flow over Sphere formula calculates the radial velocity at the desired location when the three-dimensional doublet flow with a uniform velocity field takes over a sphere. Radial Velocity is denoted by V_r symbol.
