  1. Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Dynamics Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest; fluid kinematics, the study of fluids in motion; and fluid dynamics, the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. It is a branch of continuum mechanics, a subject which models matter without using the information that it is made out of atoms,

  2. Basic Equations • Analysis of any problem in fluid mechanics necessarily begins either directly or indirectly with statements of basic laws governing the fluid motion. The basic laws which applicable to any field are, • The conservation of mass • Newton’s second law of motion • Principal of angular momentum • The first law of thermodynamics • Second law of thermodynamics

  3. Basic Flow Analysis Techniques • Control Volume or Integral analysis • Infinitesimal system or differential analysis • Experimental Studies or dimensional analysis A control volume is an arbitrary volume in space through which the fluid flows. The geometric boundary of the control volume called the control surface. Control surfaces may be real or imaginary.

  4. Continuum Hypothesis • Fluids are composed of molecules that collide with one another and solid objects. The continuum assumption, however, considers fluids to be continuous. That is, properties such as density, pressure, temperature, and velocity are taken to be well-defined at "infinitely" small points, defining a REV (Reference Element of Volume), at the geometric order of the distance between two adjacent molecules of fluid. Properties are assumed to vary continuously from one point to another, and are averaged values in the REV. The fact that the fluid is made up of discrete molecules is ignored.

  5. Flow Patterns • Fluid flow is characterized by a velocityvector field in three-dimensional space, within the framework of continuum mechanics. Streamlines, streaklines and pathlines are field lines resulting from this vector field description of the flow. They differ only when the flow changes with time: that is, when the flow is not steady.[1][2] • Streamlines are a family of curves that are instantaneously tangent to the velocity vector of the flow. These show the direction a fluid element will travel in at any point in time. • Streaklines are the locus of points of all the fluid particles that have passed continuously through a particular spatial point in the past. Dye steadily injected into the fluid at a fixed point extends along a streakline. • Pathlines are the trajectories that individual fluid particles follow. These can be thought of as a "recording" of the path a fluid element in the flow takes over a certain period. The direction the path takes will be determined by the streamlines of the fluid at each moment in time. • Timelines are the lines formed by a set of fluid particles that were marked at a previous instant in time, creating a line or a curve that is displaced in time as the particles move.

  6. Equation of Streamtubes

  7. Equation of Streamtubes Let r =xi+yj+zk Is the position Vector of point A point P on A streamtube. Then By definition of Streamtube . The tangent at P is P r V

  8. -Example • Find the equation of streamlines if • u=-2y, v=2x • Sol: • Applying the formula and integration we will get • x2+y2=c • Which is a circle. How to find the direction of flow.

  9. Direction of Streamline • Direction of streamline is the direction of velocity vector at each point. If the vector is in first quadrant The direction would be Calculated as: Choose any point in first quad. Say(1,1) then velocity will be • V=-2yi+2xj • At (1,1) • V=-2i+2j, at (1,1). The position vector is • Shown in figure. At (1,1) -2,2 1,1 V V

  10. Another way to find direction • In first quadrant ,x and y is positive. • Therefore, the velocity vectors in this quadrant will be • X-component of V is negative • y-component of V is positive • Head to tail rule gives u v V v u

  11. Another Example • V= Axi- Ay j, A=0.3 S-1 • Find h the equation of streamline through (2,8) • Sol: xy=c; • At (2,8) c=16. So • xy=16. • How to find direction

  12. Home Exercise • Find the equation of streamline V=2yi+2xj

  13. Viscosity • Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". Thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity. Put simply, the less viscous the fluid is, the greater its ease of movement (fluidity).[1] • The degree to which a fluid resist flow under an applied force called coefficient of viscosity or dynamic viscosity. (mue). Kinematic viscosity is the dynamics viscosity divided by density of the fluid (pa-s {N·s/m2}, poise(cgi)).

  14. Rate of Deformation(share rate- strain rate) • Consider the behavior of a fluid element between two infinite plates shown in fig.
