FLUID MECHANICS
MECHANICS HAS TWO MAIN BRANCHES
• Fluid Mechanics- Is the science of the mechanics of liquids and gases.
Consequently, in the past,engineers turned to experiments, and from these
developed empirical formulasfrom hydraulics
• Hydraulics -Is defined as that branch of science which treats of water or other
fluid in motion. A prerequisite to the understanding of the motion of fluids,
however, isa knowledge of the pressure exerted by fluids at rest. This study,
calledhydrostatics, is usually included in hydraulic. The field of hydraulics
alsoincludes hydrodynamics, which relates to the forces exerted by or upon fluids
inmotion.
FLUID MECHANICS
FLUIDS
Fluids are substances capable of flowing, having particles which easily moveand change
their relative position without a separation of the mass. Fluids offerpractically no
resistance to change of form. They readily conform to the shape of the solid body with
which they come in contact.
Fluids may divide into liquids and gases. The principal differences between them are:
• A liquid has a free surface, and a given mass of a liquid occupies only a given volume
in a container, whereas a gas does not have a free surface, and a given mass occupies
all portions of any container regardless of its size.
• Liquids are practically incompressible and usually may be so considered without
introducing appreciable error. On the other hand, gases are compressible and usually
must be so treated.

UNIT WEIGHT OF WATER
Water has its maximum unit weight at a temperature of 4°C(39.2°F). At
this temperature pure water serves as a standard of specific gravity for all
substances. Under atmospheric pressure at sea level, water freezes at 32° and
boils at 212°F.The weight of pure water at its temperature of maximum density is
62.427 lb per cu. ft.
Mass Density of water = 1000 kg/m3 How to convert kg to Newton
100kg = 100(9.81) = 981N

VAPOR PRESSURE
Whenever the free surface of a liquid is exposed to the
atmosphere, evaporation is continually taking place. The surface is in
contact with an enclosed space, evaporation takes place only until the
space becomes saturated with vapor. This vapor produces a pressure,
the amount of which depends only upon the temperature and is
entirely independent of the presence or absence of air or other gas
within the enclosed space. The pressure exerted by a vapor within a
closed space is called vapor pressure.

DAMS
A dam is a structure built across a stream for the following purposes:
1. to impound water during the rainy season.
2. to increase the head for development of waterpower.
3. to control the flow for flood protection.
4. to divert the flow into another stream or watershed.
5. to create a lake for recreation or other purposes.
6. other miscellaneous purposes.

FORCES ACTING ON DAMS:
1.Water Pressure. For non-overflow dams, the water pressure acts on theupstream
face. For overflow dams water pressure also acts on top and onthe downstream
face.
2. Weight of the Dam
3. Vertical Reaction of the Foundation
4. Horizontal Reaction of the Foundation.
5. Uplift on the Foundation. Due to the raised water level on the upstreamface
there is a tendency for the water to seep under the dam and escape atthe lower level
on the downstream side. It will exert a hydrostatic uplift on the dam.
6. Earthquake Forces. For dams, we must consider the earthquake effect onthe dam
as well as on the water itself.
7. Earth Pressure. The sand, silt, and gravel usually deposited on theupstream face
of the dam exert a certain amount of pressure.
8. Wind Pressure. Wind acting on the dam also exerts pressure, but usually this is

FORCES ACTING ON DAMS:
• 9. Wave Action. Waves formed on the water surface add a very slight increase
• to the hydrostatic pressure on the dam.
• 10. Impact of Debris. Floating logs and debris exert pressure on the dam due

• 11.Bearing Pressure on Masonry. For high masonry dam the crushing of

FLUID MECHANICS
STABILITY OF DAMS
The design of dams must fulfill certain conditions.
1. There must be no sliding on the base or on any horizontal plane above thebase.
2. There must be no overturning of the dam about the toe.
3. There must be no tension in the masonry are in the contact plane betweenthe dam
and its foundation.
4. There must be no crushing of the masonry or foundation.
FLUID MECHANICS
STABLITY AGAINST OVERTURNING
The hydrostatics pressure of the water on the upstream face and thy
hydrostatic uplift on the foundation tend to overturn the dam about the toe. These
forces give rise to an overturning moment. The weight of the dam and any
vertical component acting downward on the upstream face will cause a righting

In applying Archimedes Principle, two precautions
must be observed:
• The buoyant force is merely the resultant of all vertical components of hydrostatic
pressure on the body; hence there must be portions of the surface of the immersed
body on which vertical components of hydrostatic pressure can act, otherwise
there can be no buoyant force.
• Archimedes principle applies directly to a body immersed in a homogeneous
fluid. However, if portions of the body are in different fluids, the vertical
components of hydrostatic pressures must be computed separately.

FUNDAMENTAL OF FLUID FLOW
• A path line or streamline is the path followed by a particle in a flowing stream.
• A stream tube is a small bundle of path lines.
• Laminar flow occurs when the paths of the individual particles do not intersect.
• Turbulent flow occurs when the path lines are irregular curves which
continually cross each other forming a complex network of intersecting
path lines.
79
FLUID MECHANICS
• Discharge is the volume of fluid passing a certain cross-section of a stream per
unit of time.
Q = the discharge
A = area of the crosssection
V = the mean velocity in the crosssection
then Q = AV
• Steady flow of any fluid occurs when the discharge Q passing a given
cross-section of a stream is constant with time. If Q varies with time, the flow is
unsteady.
80
FLUID MECHANICS
• Uniform flow is said to occurs when the flow is steady in any length of a stream
and the average velocity at every cross-section of the stream is constant. In
streams where changes of cross-section and velocity occur, the flow is considered
to be non-uniform.
• Flow is continuous if, at any instant, the number of particles passing every cross-
section of the stream is the same. If between any two points of a stream, flow is
added or taken out through a distributary, the flow between the two points is not
continuous. Continuity for non-compressible fluids occurs when

FRICTION LOSS OF HEAD
A fluid in motion always requires energy to overcome the resistance to
flow. Thisresistance occurs in the stream itself due to sliding friction and the
mechanicalimpact between practices or group of practices. With viscous fluids
and lowvelocity, the loss of head is due mostly to sliding friction, while for fluids
withlow viscosity or increased velocity, the loss is due mainly to impact among
thepractices. The loss of energy resulting from frictional resistance is express as
aloss of head, HL

BERNOULLI’S ENERGY THEOREM
Basically, this theorem is the Conservation of Energy Principle in Physically
applied to fluid flow. Neglecting friction, the total amount of energy per unit
weight of a flowing liquid is the same at every point in the path of flow. For
friction flow, Bernoulli’s Theorem may be expressed in terms of energy head as
flows, for any two distinct points 1 and 2 in the stream:

FLUID FLOW IN PIPES
➢ A pipe is any closed conduit, usually circular in cross-section, through which
liquid or gases flow.
➢ The conduit is completely filled with the fluid; otherwise, the conduit is
considered to be an open channel.
➢ Flow of fluids in pipes is either laminar or turbulent.
125
FLUID MECHANICS
Fluid Flow – is dependent upon many factors
such as the force of gravity,viscosity of the
fluid, surface tension, and elasticity.

FLUID MECHANICS
LOSS OF HEAD
In any flow of fluid through a pipe, loss of energy occurs. The loss is caused by
1. pipe friction along the straight sections of the pipe with uniform diameter
and roughness; and
2. changes in velocity and direction of flow.
129
LOSSES
Major Loss: This is a continuous loss due to friction between the pipe wall and the
fluid and is assumed to occur at a uniform rate along the pipe as long as the size and
quality of the pipe remain constant. This loss is denoted by hf..
Minor Losses: A loss of head, hc, due to decrease in cross-section, caused by a
reduction in the cross-sectional area of the fluid stream and the resulting
increase in velocity. A loss of head, he, due to enlargement of cross-section,
caused by an increase in the cross-sectional area of the fluid stream and the
resulting decrease in velocity.
130
LOSSES
3. A loss of head, hg, due to obstructions in the pipe such as gated or valves which
produce a change in cross-sectional area in the pipe.
4. A loss of head, hb, caused by bends or curves in the pipe.
➢ The total loss of head in a pipe, denoted by HL, is therefore
HL = hf + hc + he + hg + hb
131
LOSS OF HEAD FORMULAS
A – cross-sectional area of pipe P – wetted perimeter
D – pipe diameter Q – discharge
f – friction factor in the Darcy- R – hydraulic radius = A/P
Weisbach formula S – hydraulic slope = hf /L
hf - loss of head in length L V – mean velocity of the fluid in the
Hf – loss of head per 1,000 ft.
