Fluid Mechanics
What is mechanics?
Deals with the motion of bodies
What is fluid mechanics?
Study of the behaviour of gases and liquids.
Fluid Statics
Mechanics of fluids
at rest
in equilibrium
no shear stress
Fluid Kinematics
Concerns with the motion of the fluids
Direction
Velocities
Streamlines
but
Without reference to forces which cause the motion
Fluid Dynamics
Mecahnics of fluid
In motion
Fluids have some shear stress
Fluid
Anything which can flow.
Any material or a substance that changes its shape or direction uniformly
on applying an external force to it.
Classification of Fluids
Ideal fluids
Real fluids
Compressible fluids
Incompressible fluids
Newtonian fluids
Non-Newtonian fluids
Shear stress
Shear rate
Flow of fluid
Velocity = max
Velocity gradient = 0
Shear stress = 0
Velocity = 0
Velocity gradient = max
Shear stress = max
NEWTONIAN
Water
Most salt solutions in water
Light suspensions of dye
High-viscosity fuels
Gasoline
Kerosene
Most motor oils and mineral oils
PSEUDOPLASTIC
Sewage sludge
Paper pulp
Grease
Soap
Paint
Printer's ink
Starch
Latex solutions
Most emulsions
Bingham plastic
clay suspensions,
drilling mud
toothpaste
Mayonnaise
chocolate
mustard
DILATANT
Feldspar
Mica
Clay
Beach sand
Starch in water
Reynolds Number
Change in flow depends upon four parameters
Diameter of tube through which liquid flows (D)
Density of the liquid (rho)
Average velocity of the liquid flowing (u)
Viscosity of the liquid (u)
Reynolds combine these four quantities in one dimensionless group.
The flow is
laminar when Re < 2300
transient when 2300 < Re < 4000
turbulent when 4000 < Re
