Tutorial 2 (ME332) : Problems On Strain Rate, Stokes Laws, Surface Forces and Basic Equations & Boundary Conditions

This document provides an overview of tutorial problems related to strain rate, Stokes laws, surface forces, and basic equations and boundary conditions for fluid mechanics. It includes 6 problems: 1) calculating components of a strain rate tensor, 2) showing that the trace of the strain rate tensor is negative for incompressible flow, 3) obtaining expressions for various tensors and vectors in cylindrical coordinates, 4) determining properties for solid-body rotation of a fluid in a cylinder, 5) writing boundary conditions for flow induced by a vibrating cylinder, and 6) showing expressions for horizontal and vertical surface forces on an arbitrary body.

1. Consider the strain rate tensor ✏ = ✏ij êi êj . The componenents ✏ij are arranged in the matrix form as:
2 3
a 10 5
4 b 6 c 5
d 4 12

(a) Find the values of b, c, d. Further if ✏˙v = 0, find a?


(b) For the strain rate tensor obtained in (a) , determine viscous stress tensor, v defined as v = + pI for a Newtonian
fluid having viscosity 0 µ0 using stokes relations.

2. In an incompressible flow, ✏˙v = 0, show that ( 11 + 22 + 33 ) < 0 at any point in the flow, (Hint: Use pm = 3 =
p)

3. Obtain the expression for the following tensors/vectors in the cylindrical coordinates.

(c) r.

(d) r.( . V )
4. Consider a fluid filled inside a steadily rotating cylinder. After a sufficient length of time, fluid would be in a state of
!
solid-body rotation. Using cylindrical coordinates such a velocity field may be written as V = V✓ ê✓ where V✓ = !r. The
steady rotation rate of cylinder is !.
(a) Obtain the vorticity vector
(b) Particle acceleration.

(a) write the boundary conditons for V = (U î + V ĵ) at an arbitrary point P (shown in figure 1) on the surface of the
cylinder and at an angle ✓ with the horizontal. The frame x y is stationary.
(b) If an inviscid flow is to be solved, what are the proper boundary conditions for the velocity at point P ?
6. Show the net horizontal and vertical surface force exerted per unit span (unity depth in plane of figure) by the fluid on an
arbitrary body shown in the figure 2. Where n̂ = nx î + ny ĵ and is total stress tensor.
