Introduction

Fundamental Concepts

1. Fluid Mechanics
Is the study of how fluids move and the forces on them. (Fluids include liquids and gases.) Fluid
mechanics can be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest, and fluid dynamics, the study of
fluids in motion. It is a branch of continuum mechanics, a subject which models matter without using the
information that it is made out of atoms.
The study of fluid mechanics goes back at least to the days of ancient Greece, when Archimedes made a
beginning on fluid statics. However, fluid mechanics, especially fluid dynamics, is an active field of
research with many unsolved or partly solved problems.
Fluid mechanics can be mathematically complex. Sometimes it can best be solved by numerical methods,
typically using computers. A modern discipline, called Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), is devoted
to this approach to solving fluid mechanics problems.

Fluid: is a substance that deforms continuously under the action of a shearing stress (i.e. tangentially) no
matter how small the shearing stress is. Fluids comprise the liquid and gas (or vapor) phases.
Solid: is a substance that deforms when a shear stress is applied, but it does not continue to deform.

2. 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.
The continuum hypothesis is basically an approximation, in the same way planets are approximated by
point particles when dealing with celestial mechanics, and therefore results in approximate solutions.
Consequently, assumption of the continuum hypothesis can lead to results which are not of desired
accuracy. That said, under the right circumstances, the continuum hypothesis produces extremely accurate
results.
Those problems for which the continuum hypothesis does not allow solutions of desired accuracy are
solved using statistical mechanics. To determine whether or not to use conventional fluid dynamics or
statistical mechanics, the Knudsen number is evaluated for the problem. The Knudsen number is defined as
the ratio of the molecular mean free path length to a certain representative physical length scale. This
length scale could be, for example, the radius of a body in a fluid. (More simply, the Knudsen number is
how many times its own diameter a particle will travel on average before hitting another particle).
Problems with Knudsen numbers at or above unity are best evaluated using statistical mechanics for
reliable solutions.

3. Microstructure and Macrostructure


All matters are composed of atoms and molecules with which are associated a whole range of phenomena.
It is only in rare cases, the consideration of the behavior of matter at atomic or molecular level becomes
important to the engineer (e.g. in system containing highly rarefied gas, such as the upper atmosphere, or
in plasma flow, i.e. the flow of highly rarefied gas through strong electrical or magnetic fields).

container.
In a mechanical view, a fluid is a substance that does not support tangential stress; that is why a fluid in
rest has the shape of their containing vessel. And fluids in rest have zero shear stress.

5. Basic Equations
An analysis of any problem in fluid mechanics necessarily begins, either directly or indirectly, with
statements of the basic laws governing the fluid motion. These laws, which are independent of the nature
of the particular fluid, are:
1. Conservation of mass.
dm
0

2. Newton’s second law of motion (Conservation of momentum).

3. Moment of momentum equation (Conservation of angular momentum).

4. The first law of thermodynamics (Conservation of energy). “The change in stored energy of a system
equals the net energy added to the system as heat and work”.
dE dQ dW
 
dt dt dt
5. The second law of thermodynamics (Conservation of Entropy). “The entropy of any isolated system
can’t decrease during any process between equilibrium states”.
dS Q

dt T
In some problems, it is necessary to bring additional relations into the analysis, in the form of constitutive
equations to describe the behavior of physical properties of fluid under given conditions (equation of state
and Newton’s viscous law).

Our task is to formulate these basic laws in suitable forms for the solution of a wide variety of problems.
It should be emphasized that there are, as we shall see, many apparently simple problems in fluid
mechanics can’t be solved by totally analytical means. In such cases we must resort to experiments and
experimental observations.

6. Assumptions
5
Like any mathematical model of the real world, fluid mechanics makes some basic assumptions about the
materials being studied. These assumptions are turned into equations that must be satisfied if the
assumptions are to hold true. For example, consider an incompressible fluid in three dimensions. The
assumption that mass is conserved means that for any fixed closed surface (such as a sphere) the rate of
mass passing from outside to inside the surface must be the same as rate of mass passing the other way.
(Alternatively, the mass inside remains constant, as does the mass outside). This can be turned into an
integral equation over the surface.

Fluid mechanics assumes that every fluid obeys the following:

 
 Conservation of mass Continuity equation in vector form =>    V  0
t

DV  
 Conservation of momentum Navier-Stokes equation In vector form=>   B  p   2V
Dt
 The continuum hypothesis, detailed above ( 2.).

 Further, it is often useful (and realistic) to assume a fluid is incompressible - that is, the density of the
fluid does not change. Liquids can often be modeled as incompressible fluids, whereas gases cannot.

 Similarly, it can sometimes be assumed that the viscosity of the fluid is zero (the fluid is inviscid). Gases
can often be assumed to be inviscid. If a fluid is viscous, and its flow contained in some way (e.g. in a
pipe), then the flow at the boundary must have zero velocity. For a viscous fluid, if the boundary is not
porous, the shear forces between the fluid and the boundary results also in a zero velocity for the fluid at
the boundary. This is called the no-slip condition. For a porous media otherwise, in the frontier of the
containing vessel, the slip condition is not zero velocity, and the fluid has a discontinuous velocity field
between the free fluid and the fluid in the porous media (this is related to the Beavers and Joseph
condition).

7. Scope of Fluid Mechanics


Why study fluid mechanics?
Knowledge and understanding of the basic principles and concepts of fluid mechanics are essential in:
 Analysis and design of any system in which a fluid is the working medium.
 Design of aircraft, cars, surface ships, and submarines.
 Design of propulsion systems for space flight.
 Design of all types of fluid machinery including pumps, fans, blowers, compressors, and turbines.
 It is common place today to perform model studies to determine the aerodynamic forces on and flow
fields around buildings and structures, this include studies of skyscrapers, baseball stadiums,
smokestacks, and shopping plaza.
 Lubrication is an area of considerable importance in fluid mechanics.
 Heating and ventilation systems for homes, large office buildings, and underground tunnels.
 Design of pipeline systems.
 The circulatory system of the body is essentially a fluid system.
 Design of artificial hearts, heart-lung machines, breathing aids, and other such devices must rely on the
basic principles of fluid mechanics.

8. Dimensions and Units


The word Dimension is used to refer to any measurable quantity; such quantities include length, time,
velocity, etc., in terms of a particular system of dimensions. All measurable quantities can be
subdivided into two groups (primary quantities and secondary quantities). The word Unit is used to refer

6
to the scale or caliber by which the physical quantity is measured and consequently there are two groups
of units (primary units and secondary units).

8.1. Primary quantities


The quantities for which, arbitrary scales of measure are set.

8.2. Secondary quantities


The quantities, whose dimensions are expressed in terms of the primary dimensions,

8.3. System of dimensions:


There are three basic systems of dimensions, corresponding to the three basic ways of specifying the
primary dimensions. These systems use the following primary dimensions:

1. Mass M, length L, time t, temperature T (0oC = 273.16oK)
2. Force F, length L, time t, temperature T (0oC = 460oR)
3. Force F, Mass M, time t, temperature T (0oC = 460oR)
Any valid equation that relates physical quantities must be dimensionally homogeneous; that is, each term
in the equation must have the same dimensions.

8.4. System of units: There are different ways for selecting the units of primary dimensions  according
to the system of dimensions:
a. MLtT system  M (Kilogram, kg), L (meter, m), t (second, s), T (Kelven, oK)
 System International (SI)  Absolute Metric system of units
 1 N = 1 kg.m/sec2 and 1 dyne = 1gm.cm / sec2
b. FLtT system  F (pound force, lbf), L (foot, ft), t (second, s), T (Rankin, oR)
 British Gravitational system (BG) 1 lbf = 1 slug . 1ft /sec2
c. FMLtT system  F (pound force lbf), M (pound mass lbm), L (foot ft), t (second), T (Rankin oR)
 English Engineering system (EE) 1lbf = 1lbm . (32.2 ft/sec2) 
1 slug = 32.2 lbm

9. Fluid Particle, Flow Variables


Fluid particle: Is a very small mass or element of fluid. In thermodynamics, it is called a system.
Conceptually it is introduced because the physical laws of motion, which govern all matters, are stated in
terms of velocity and acceleration of a mass particle.

Flow variables: V and p depend on two types of independent variables:


 Location: spatial change in the fluid flow (rectangular, cylindrical, or spherical coordinate system).
 Time : temporal change.
Notes:
a. Steady flow  no flow variable depends on time.
b. Unsteady flow  any flow variable depends on time.
c. Uniform flow  no velocity component depends on location.

10. Flow Lines

7
Path line: is the path or trajectory traced out by a moving fluid particle. To determine a path line, we
might identify a fluid particle at a given instant of time, for example, by the use of a colored
dye and then taking a long exposure photograph for its subsequent motion. The line traced out
by the particle is called a path line.

Streak line: on the other hand, we may choose to focus our attention on a fixed location in space and
identifying, again by the use of a colored dye, all fluid particles passing through this point.
After a short period of time, we have a number of identifiable fluid particles in the flow field
that had, at some time, passed through one fixed location in space. The line joining these
fluid particles is defined as a Streak line.

Stream line: is the lines drawn in the flow field so that at a given instant of time they are tangent to the
direction of flow at every point in the flow field. The shape of the stream lines may vary
from instant to instant if the flow velocity is a function of time, that is, if the flow is unsteady.
Since the streamlines are tangent to the velocity vector at every point in the flow filed, there
can be no flow across the streamline.

In steady flow:
The velocity at each point in the flow field remains constant with time, consequently, the
streamlines do not vary from one instant to the next. This implies that a particle located at a
given streamline will remain on that streamline. Furthermore, consecutive particles passing
through a fixed point in space will be on the same streamline and, subsequently, will remain
on that streamline. Thus in a steady flow, path lines, streak lines, and stream lines are
identical lines in the flow field.

In unsteady flow:
Path lines, streak lines, and stream lines do not coincide.

8
11. Laminar and Turbulent Flows
Laminar flow: A laminar flow is one in which the fluid flows in laminas or layers; there is no macroscopic
mixing of adjacent fluid layers. Theories are in good agreement with experiment practice. Laminar flow
has the following features:
 Very smooth and orderly.
 The flow moves as if it is composed of very thin sheets, or lamina of fluid, each gliding smoothly over
its neighbor.
 No macroscopic mixing or exchange of fluid between neighboring sheets.
 Any small disturbances in the laminar flow are damped by the internal friction or viscous resistance of
the flow.

Transition flow: in which the laminar flow becomes increasingly unstable and turbulent fluctuations begin
to develop.

Turbulent flow: Study of the turbulent flow has very limited success between theory and experimental
practice because of its mathematical complexity. Turbulent flow has the following features:
 Disordered flow with irregular high frequency velocity fluctuations superimposed on the main motion.
 Small but macroscopic pieces of fluid are transported by turbulent motion in all directions and mix with
other parts of the fluid flow.
 Disturbance is not usually damped but grows and further contributes to the random fluctuations.
 Average or gross motion of some turbulent flows can be predicted in terms of time averaged or mean
flow variables using various empirical coefficients.
 Onset of turbulence can be related in terms of Reynolds number (Re= VL/) at which laminar flow
begins to disintegrate into turbulence.

CHAPTER #1

Physical Properties of Fluids


The general study of fluid and deformation of materials constitutes the subject of Rheology, of which
viscous flow is a special case.
Fluids are classified as true and not-true fluids as follows:

True fluids: All gases, common liquids such as water, oil, gasoline, alcohol…etc.

Not-true fluids: Some liquid substances such as emulsions (mixture of chemicals), colloids (gelatinous
substances), high-polymer solutions, slurries, etc.

1-1. Density “”


The mass of a quantity of any substance is a constant proportional to the number of molecules that contained in the volume
and the molecular weight of molecules. This relationship is simplified for a gas (Avogadro’s law: at an identical pressure and
temperature). All gases have the same number of molecules per unit volume, thus the mass of different gases depends entirely
on the molecular weight. In fluid motion, the volume is not fixed, consequently, it will be more convenient to consider the
mass per unit volume, which is defined as density (). The density of liquids is only slightly depending on either temperature
or pressure. From 2nd Newton’s Law, the density affects the momentum exchange in fluid motion.

  
density at any point in the flow field, consequently, getting an expression for density distribution as a function of space
coordinates at the given instant of time t, that is,  =  (x, y, z).
Clearly  may vary with time because of work done on/by the fluid and/or heat transfer to/from the fluid. Thus the
representation given by  =  (x, y, z, t) is the complete representation of density (i.e. the field representation).

purposes, as an incompressible flow.

Obeys Newton viscous law:  =  dv/dy ( is constant) e.g. water, oil, air, …,etc. Viscosity is essentially a measure of the
fluids ability to transmit shear stress. It has been found that the fluid behavior between two parallel plates, one of them is
moving with linear velocity V, represents what is known as simple shear flow.

1-3. Surface Tension “”


Surface tension  is the energy per unit area of surface: in bringing molecules to the surface from within
the mass of liquid. It is an unbalance in molecular attraction, due to a difference in the magnitudes of
cohesion and adhesion, occurs at the contact between a liquid and a solid boundary or at the interface
between two liquids or a liquid and a gas. The molecules near the interface (or surface) are attracted with
different forces by the molecules on the opposite side of the interface than the attractive force between
the molecules in the same fluid. Free surface: (it is in fact a liquid/air interface) non-symmetrical force-
direction arrows in the figure below indicate the force imbalance on the surface molecules.
Air
Although the unbalance of molecular forces will
always exist, it is particularly significant when the
surface is curved, in which case the imbalance will
tend to pull in the surface, there by increasing the
pressure, as will be seen. The strength of the Liquid
imbalance is referred to the not altogether descriptive
term
surface tension: it is a function of temperature and is expressed.
in terms of a force per unit length of the surface (lb./ft or
N/m)

Pressure in a sphere due to surface tension: 2r

Compressibility has not any effect on fluid flow if the flow velocity is far enough below the speed of
sound in the fluid in question. (aair =1100 ft/sec= 330 m/sec and awater = 4800 ft/sec= 1600 m/sec ).
Compressibility effects become important in airflows with speed about 3-tenth the speed of sound in

1-5. Vapor Pressure, pv

The vapor pressure, pv, of a liquid is the pressure at which the liquid vaporizes or boils as it changes from
the liquid state to the gaseous or vapor state.
pv = f (T), pv(water) = 1 atm. (14.7 psi) at 100 0C (212 0F)
pv(water) ≈ 0.294 psi = 0.02 bar at 15 oC.
The change of liquid into vapor affects the performance of hydraulic systems in the form of interruption
of the flow (siphoning) or formation of cavities (cavitation).

Cavitation:
It is the rapid formation and collapse of small vapor bubbles, which are not only
disruptive, but are also frequently destructive for the hydraulic elements and systems as well.

CHAPTER #2

Basic Concepts of Fluid Statics

Fluid at rest or in rigid-body motion is able to sustain only normal stresses [no shear stress]. In static
fluid, or in a fluid undergoing rigid-body motion (relative equilibrium), a fluid particle retains its identity at
all times. Since there is no relative motion within the fluid, a fluid element does not deform, and then
Newton’s second law of motion may be used to evaluate the reaction of the particle to the applied forces.

Objective: To obtain an equation that will enable us to determine the pressure field within the fluid. To do
this we choose a stationary differential element of mass dm with sides dx, dy, and depth dz. Then applying

the 2nd Newton’s law  dF  0 :

Forces acting on a fluid element:


1. Body forces: Are those forces act on the volume or mass of the fluid element such as::
a) Force of gravity.
b) Force on a conducting fluid in a magnetic or electric field.
2. Surface forces: Including both:
a) Normal forces (pressure forces).

2-2. Pressure Measurement


2-2.1. Manometer
Manometer consists of one or more vertical or inclined tubes, usually of glass, which are connected to a pipe
or tank in which the pressure is to be measured. The hydrostatic equation is used to calculate the desired
pressure difference indicated by the manometer readings.
 Manometer: for big p  manometer deflection is small.
 Micro-manometer: for small p  manometer deflection is big.
The manometers basic rules may be stated as follows:
1. Work through the system considering only one fluid at a time.
2. Add pressure difference as you proceed down through a fluid from the starting point (or Subtract
pressure difference when proceeding upward).

18
[Type here]

3. Move horizontally through the same fluid without change in the pressure value.

In Manometer design one should consider :
1. Accuracy of reading  (inclined manometer tan   1/12 ).
2. Sensitivity  Micro-manometer (large reservoir at high pressure side ).
3. Capillary effects  d should be  ½ cm or using multiple columns to cancel out capillary effect.

Smaller value of h results in larger restoring moment and more stability. This eq n sets a limit on how high
the center of mass can be above the center of buoyancy of the body in its displaced position and still have
stability.
A body in equilibrium is said to be in Stable Equilibrium if when it is given a small displacement then the
developed forces or moment tends to return the body to its original position.

As shown in the above figure, the distance between the centre of gravity, CM, of a floating body, and the
Meta-centre, M, is called the Metacenter height, “m”. The metacentric height of a floating body is a direct
measure of its stability. Or in other words, more the metacentric height of a floating body, more it will be
stable. Some values of metacentric height are given below:

Merchant ships m = up to 1.0 m


Sailing ship m = up to 1.5 m
Battle ship m = up to 2.0 m
River craft m = up to 3.5 m

2-6. Fluids in Rigid-Body Motion (Relative-Equilibrium)


A fluid in rigid-body motion moves without deformation as though it were a solid body, so there can be no
shear stress. The only surface stress on each element of fluid is that due to pressure. As in the case of fluid
statics we may apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the pressure field that results from a
specific rigid-body motion. An expression for the total force due to pressure and gravity acting on a fluid

3-2. Velocity Field


In dealing with fluid in motion, we are concerning with the description of a velocity field. The
velocity at a point is defined as the instantaneous velocity of the center of gravity of its volume,
, instantaneously surrounding that point. The fluid velocity at any point in the flow field is
defined in the same manner.

At a given instant of time the velocity field, V , is function of the space coordinates x, y, z, that
 
is, V = V (x, y, z) which may vary from one instant of time to another instant. Thus, the
complete representation of velocity vector (i.e. velocity field) is given by:
 
V = V (x, y, z, t)
If the fluid property,  at a point in the flow field does not change with time, the flow is
considered to be a steady flow  mathematically    /  t = 0
Where  represents any fluid property.
Thus for a steady flow:   /  t = 0  or
 =  (x, y, z) only and,
  
 V /  t = 0  or
V = V (x, y, z) only.
i.e. velocity may vary from point to point in the flow field but they must remain constant with
time at any given point.

3-2.1. Schemes used for description of motion


a. Lagrange approach for description of motion:
It is the approach of following the trajectories of individual particle (very useful in solid
mechanics). If it is applied to describe the fluid motion, each fluid particle should be
tracked and its motion is observed with respect to its initial position as function of space and
time. It requires unaffordable and too expensive calculations, so it is not suitable in fluid
mechanics.

b. Euler approach for description of motion:


40
It is the approach in which the fluid flow is imagined as taking place in a field, in which the
fluid motion variables are specified as function of space and time with respect to a fixed
frame of reference (fixed point in space). It assumes the motion corresponds to its
instantaneous position in the field (it is used in description of fluid motions).

 
Eulerian velocity field V (r ,t)=V (x, y, z, t)
   
V ( x, y, z , t )  u (x, y, z, t) i + v (x, y, z, t) j + w (x, y, z, t) k

The aim of fluid mechanics study or problem analysis is to get information about the values of
velocity components; u; v; and w.

Note: The three fundamental laws of mechanics: conservation of mass; momentum; and energy
are formulated for particles (systems) of a fixed identity; i.e., they are Lagrangian in nature.
All the three laws are related to the time rate of change of some property of a fixed particle.
Let Q represents
any property of the fluid. From mathematics, the total differential,
 Q Q Q Q
dQ= dx  dy  dz  dt since we are intentionally following a particle of fixed

identity, the spatial increments must be such that: dx

The convective terms in represent unfortunate mathematical difficulty because they are

nonlinear products of variable terms.
 Viscous flows with finite convective accelerations are nonlinear in character and present such
difficult analytical problems as: failure of the super-position principle; non-unique solutions
(even in steady laminar flows); and coupled oscillating motion in a continuous frequency
spectrum which is the chief feature of high Reynolds number, or turbulent flow.
*Note that these nonlinear terms are accelerations, not viscous stresses:
 The main obstacle in viscous flow analysis is the inviscid term (convective acceleration); the
viscous stresses itself are linear if the viscosity is assumed constant.
 In frictionless flow, the nonlinear convective accelerations still exist but do not misbehave,
as can be seen with reference to the valuable vector identity

The term V    V is usually vanishes if the viscosity is zero (irrotational) leaving the
convective acceleration equal only to the familiar kinetic energy term of Bernoulli s equation.
Inviscid flow, then, is nonlinear, also, but the non-linearity is confined to the calculation of static
pressure, not to the determination of the velocity field, which is linear.

The pressure field is determined by integrating the pressure differential dp which is obtained
from the mathematical relation:
dp  (p x )dx  (p y )dy  (p z )dz  (p t )dt

The partial derivatives are obtained from the pressure gradient vector: p   (a  g ) :

y  direction  p y   ( g y  a y )

3-6.1. Fluid rotation: 
It is defined as the angular velocity of any two mutually perpendicular line elements of the
particle. Rotation of a fluid particle can be caused only by torque applied by shear forces on the
sides of the particle. Such forces, however, are impossible in an ideal, inviscid, fluid and so the
flow of an ideal fluid is necessarily irrotational.

4-2 Control Volume

Application of the known physical laws (conservation of mass, momentum, and energy) in fluid flow
problems an alternative approach should be taken. The fluid flow is imagined as taking place in a
field in which the fluid-motion variables are specified as a function of position and time. As a fluid
particle moves through this field, it assumes the motion corresponding to its instantaneous position in
the field. This is called Eulerian approach. In Lagrangian approach (which is used to describe solid
motions) we would tag a fluid particle and focus our attention on its motion.
 Since the fundamental physical laws are stated in terms of the Lagrangian view we must develop
the Mathematical Transformation between the Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches.
 The Field, or Eulerian Approach  Considers an imaginary nonaccelerating closed volume in the
flow, called a Control Volume, through which the flow passes freely. It will be either stationary
or moving a straight-line motion with a constant velocity.
 The basic natural flows involve the rate of change (in an inertial coordinate system) of various
fluid-flow variables.
 The key transformation equation between the Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions will be
developed by determining the time derivatives of some arbitrary flow variables in terms of both
approaches.

4-2.1 Extensive and intensive properties:

Extensive property:  Depends on the amount of material present in the system, e.g., mass,
energy, and volume.
Intensive property:  Does not depend on the amount of material present in the system, e.g.,
fluid velocity, acceleration, pressure, density, temp., and
coefficient of viscosity.
Any extensive property can be converted into a corresponding intensive property by dividing it by the
mass of the system  the adjective (specific) is affixed to the name of the property.

The equation states that: The rate of accumulation of mass in the control volume is the difference
between the rates of mass inflow and outflow crossing the control
volume surface.

A control volume (fixed relative to reference frame xyz) moving with a constant velocity, V rf, relative
to a fixed (inertial) reference frame XYZ, is also inertial, since it has no acceleration with respect to

To evaluate the first term in this equation, the mass inside the control volume at any instant is the product
of the mass per unit volume,  and the volume, . Thus the rate of change of mass inside the
control volume is given by:
To evaluate the second term, the mass flux through each of the six faces of the control surface must be

considered; that is, we must evaluate CS

surface are obtained from a Taylor series expansion of the properties about the point O. The details of the

Incompressible Viscous Fluid Flow

Viscous flow may be internal or external flow, laminar or turbulent flow in which the viscous forces
are not negligible [flows with both velocity gradients and shear stresses].

6-1. Viscous Flows


The fluid in direct contact with a solid boundary has the same velocity as the boundary itself (i.e, there is no
slip at the boundary)  “No-Slip” condition.
u
The shear stress is given by Newton’s law of viscosity  yx  
y

VA = 0 no slip condition
u’ < u  Effect of shearing stress (opposing motion)
yx is positive value in (-)ve y-coordinate  against motion of the fluid particles.
Boundary layer grows in flow direction  fluid enters B.L. from the inviscid flow region

6-1.1. Internal flows:


Flows completely bounded by solid surfaces, i.e., flow in ducts, pipes, …etc.
Flow in the entrance region of a pipe:

Uo
Boundary Layer
D
Boundary Layer

Entrance Length L Fully Developed Flow


F.D.F
 Decelerating flow inside the boundary layer region.
 B.L. develops along pipe entrance length.
 Velocity profile changes from point to point along entrance length L.
 Velocity at the centerline of pipe increases in value with distance from inlet in order to satisfy the
continuity equation.

1
However, the average velocity at any cross section V   udA Must equal to Uo
A Area

129
So, V  U o
The distance downstream from the entrance to the location at which the boundary layer reaches the
centerline is called Entrance Length.
BEYOND THE ENTRANCE LENGTH, THE VELOCITY PROFILE NO LONGER CHANGES with
increasing distance, x, and the flow is fully developed, F.D.F.
Shape of the F.D.F. depends on whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
 For laminar flow, the entrance length, L, is a function of Reynolds Number:
L V D
 0.06
D 
L
 0.06 Re
As Re < 2300 for laminar flow  D
L
 100   138
D

 For turbulent flow, enhanced mixing among fluid layers causes more rapid growth of the
boundary layer  Experiments show that: L  4.4 Re1 / 6
L
 25   40
D
However, the details of the turbulent motion may not be fully developed for 80D or more.

6-1.2. External Flows:


Flows over bodies immersed in an unbounded fluid:
e.g., flow over flat plates, flow over spheres, and flow over cylinders, …etc.

6-3. Fully Developed Laminar Flow


Analytical solutions are used to obtain detailed information about the velocity field. Knowledge of the
velocity field permits calculation of shear stress, pressure drop, and flowrate.
The complete differential equations (Stokes-Navier equations) for a flow of viscous fluid could be used OR
derivation of a differential equation that describes the flow by applying the familiar control volume
formulation of Newton’s second law (Momentum Equation in Integral Form) to a suitably chosen

Energy consideration in pipe flows:

Assumptions:

Inlet (1) 
1. Wshaft = 0, Wothers = 0 g
2. Wshear = 0 (although shear stresses
are present at the walls of the elbow,
the velocities are zero at the walls)
3. Steady flow
4. Incompressible flow
5. Internal energy and pressure are uniform across sections (1) and (2).
Basic Equations:

141
Since, velocities at section (1) and (2) are not assumed to be uniform (viscous flow) then, it
is convenient to introduce the average velocity into the equation to eliminate the integral

Total Head Losses (hTlosses)


6-3.5. Calculation of head losses
Total head losses hTlosses = Major losses hL due to friction +
Minor losses hLm due to entrance, fittings, area changes,
…etc.

For F.D.F. through a constant area pipe, hLm = 0

For horizontal pipe z1 = z2 

g
Why the energy loss, hL, is called a “head” loss. As the empirical science of hydraulics
development in 9th century, it was common practice to express the energy balance in
terms of energy per unit weight of flowing fluid (water) rather than the energy per unit
mass. To obtain dimensions of energy per unit weight, we divide each term by “g”,
gravity acceleration. Then the net dimensions of hL are “L” or meter of flowing fluid.
Since the term head loss is in common use, we shall also use it here. Remember that its
physical interpretation is a loss in mechanical energy, expressed per unit mass of flowing
fluid.

6-5. Boundary Layer
Boundary layer: The region adjacent to a solid surface in which the viscous forces are
important.

6-5.1. Boundary layer concept


Prandtl showed that many viscous flows can be analyzed by dividing the flow into two regions, one close to
solid boundaries, and the other covering the rest of the flow. Only in the thin region adjacent to a solid
boundary (the boundary layer), the effect of viscosity is important. In the region outside the boundary
layer, the effect of viscosity is negligible and the fluid may be treated as inviscid.
InertiaForce
In the boundary layer both viscous and inertia forces are important  Re  is significant in
ViscousForce
characterizing boundary layer flows. Characteristic length in Re is the length in flow direction over which
the boundary layer is developed, or as some measure of the boundary layer thickness.
 As in ducts, flow in a boundary layer may be laminar or turbulent,
 There is no certain value for Re at which transition occurs,
 Transition is affected by; pressure gradient; surface roughness; heat transfer; body forces; and free
stream disturbances,
 Examples of boundary layer developing over a long surface (essentially flat):
o Flow over ship and submarine hulls,
o Flow over air craft wings,
o Atmospheric motions over flat terrain.

6-5.2. Flow over flat plate

For incompressible flow over a smooth flat plate (zero pressure gradient) in the absence of heat transfer
== transition from laminar to turbulent flow in the boundary layer can be delayed to Reynolds number
Rex = Ux/, in the range 3.0 x 106 < Rex < 4.0 x 106 if air disturbances are minimized.
For air flow at standard conditions, with U= 100 m/sec, this corresponds to 0.43 m < x < 0.58 m.

 Boundary layer thickness, :


Is the distance from the surface to the point where the velocity is within 1%
of the free stream velocity, 
The effect of the boundary layer is to displace the streamlines in the flow field outside the boundary layer
away from the wall (boundary layer displacement thickness, *)

149
 Displacement thickness, *:
Is defined as the distance by which the solid surface would have to be
a  m
displaced to maintain the same mass flowrate in a hypothetical frictionless flow, ( m b ).

Important Note: However, this profile does not hold in the immediate vicinity of the wall, since at the wall
it predicts du dy   . Consequently, we cannot use this profile in the definition of w, to obtain an
expression for w in terms of  as we did for laminar flow. For turbulent flow we will use the experimentally

Experiments show that this result predicts turbulent skin friction on a flat plate within 3% for
5x105<Rex<107. This agreement is remarkable in view of the approximate nature of the present analysis.
In concluding this section, let us point out that use of momentum integral equation is an approximate
technique for predicting boundary-layer development. The obtained agreement with experimental results
shows that it is an effective method which gives a considerable insight into the general behavior of
boundary-layers.

6-7.Pressure Gradients in Boundary-Layer Flow


The momentum integral equation for both laminar and turbulent flow over flat plate (zero pressure
gradient) is given as:
2 d u u
1
 w  U   1  d
dx 0 U  U
which indicates that the wall shear stress is balanced by a decrease in fluid momentum. Thus the velocity
profile changes as we move along the plate. The boundary-layer thickness continues to increase and the
fluid close to the wall continually being slowed down (i.e. loosing momentum).
Question: Will the fluid close to the wall ever be
brought to rest?
That is for the case of zero pressure gradient
p x  0 , is it possible that u y ) y 0  0 ?
If we consider the wall shear stress distributions
obtained for flat plates, we found that:
 cons tan t
For laminar flow: w 2 
U Re1x 2
 cons tan t
And for turbulent flow: w 2 
U Re1x 5

Recalling that  w   ( u y  y 0 , we can then say that for any finite length plate,  ( u y  y 0 will never be
zero. The point on a solid boundary at which u y  0 is defined as the point of separation.
Consequently, we can conclude that for p x  0 , the flow will not separate, that is, the fluid layer in the
neighborhood of a solid surface cannot be brought to zero velocity.
156
Note: if ( u y  y 0  0 then the fluid layer near the wall will have a zero velocity, since:
u )o  dy  uo  u y )y 0 dy and u o  0 from the no slip condition.

6-7.1. Effect of pressure gradient on flow separation

The pressure gradient is said to be adverse if the pressure increases in the direction of flow, i.e.
if p x  0 . When p x  0 , that is, when the pressure decreases in the direction of flow, the pressure
gradient is said to be favorable. Consider the flow through a channel of variable cross section as shown in
figure below. To simplify our discussion, we consider the flow along the straight wall.
There is a net retarding shear force on the fluid
particle close to the solid boundary no matter what the
sign of the pressure gradient. For p x  0 , the
result is a decrease in momentum, but as already have
been shown it is not sufficient to bring the particle to
rest. Since p x  0 in Region 1, the pressure
behind the particle (aiding its motion) is greater than
that opposing its motion; hence the particle is "sliding
down a pressure hill", without danger of being
slowing to zero velocity.
However, in attempting to flow through Region 3, the particle encounters an adverse pressure
gradient p x  0 and the particle must "climb a pressure hill". The fluid particle could be
brought to rest, thus causing the neighboring fluid to be deflected away from the boundary; when
this occurs, the flow is said to separate from the surface. The point on the boundary where
( u y  y 0  0 is called the point of separation. Just down-stream from the point of separation, the
flow direction in the separated region is actually opposing to the main flow direction. The low
energy fluid in the separated region is forced back upstream by the increased pressure down-stream.

Thus, we see that an adverse pressure gradient p x  0 is a necessary condition for separation. Dose this
mean that if p x  0 , we will have separation? No, it does not. We have not shown that p x  0 will
always lead to separation, but rather we have reasoned that separation cannot occur unless p x  0 .
This conclusion can be shown rigorously using the complete differential equations of motion for boundary-
layer flow.

157
The turbulent boundary-layer has a much fuller or
blunter velocity profile than the laminar boundary-layer.
Therefore, the turbulent velocity profile at the same free
stream speed contains much more momentum.
Separation occurs when the momentum of fluid layers
near the surface is reduced to zero by the combined
action of pressure and viscous forces. Because the
turbulent layer has more momentum (greater velocity), it
is better able to resist separation in an adverse pressure
gradient.

6-7.2. Determination of pressure gradient
Since the pressure gradient has much a pronounced effect on the flow behavior, it is important that we be
able to determine analytically the magnitude of the pressure gradient for a given flow situation. In fact to
calculate the growth and to predict the behavior of a boundary-layer, we must have an expression for the
pressure gradient.
For both external and internal flows we can obtain a first approximation for the pressure gradient from
ideal flow theory, that is, from the pressure variation in the flow of a frictionless (inviscid) fluid under the
same conditions. From the inviscid flow analysis, the stream function, , and the velocity potential
function, satisfy Laplace's equation. These together with Euler's equation provide the basis for
determining the pressure distribution.
