A fixed cylinder of diameter DD and length LL, immersed in a uniform stream of velocity UU flowing normal to its axis, experiences zero average lift when it is not rotating. However, when the cylinder rotates at angular velocity Ω\Omega, a lift force FF is generated.\Omega Neglect viscous effects. Using dimensional analysis, express the lift force relationship in dimensionless form. Select the correct answer: A. FρU2D2=f (ΩDU,LD)\displaystyle \frac{F}{\rho U^2 D^2}=f\!\left(\frac{\Omega D}{U},\frac{L}{D}\right) B. FρU2D2=f (ΩρU,ULD)\displaystyle \frac{F}{\rho U^2 D^2}=f\!\left(\frac{\Omega \rho}{U},\frac{UL}{D}\right) C. FρU2D2=f (ΩD,ULD)\displaystyle \frac{F}{\rho U^2 D^2}=f\!\left(\frac{\Omega}{D},\frac{UL}{D}\right) D. FρU2D2=f (ΩLU,ρD)\displaystyle \frac{F}{\rho U^2 D^2}=f\!\left(\frac{\Omega L}{U},\frac{\rho}{D}\right)
