  • Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity
    Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity Motivation. In this chapter we discuss the planning, presentation, and interpretation of experimental data. We shall try to convince you that such data are best presented in dimensionless form. Experiments which might result in tables of output, or even mul- tiple volumes of tables, might be reduced to a single set of curves—or even a single curve—when suitably nondimensionalized. The technique for doing this is dimensional analysis. Chapter 3 presented gross control-volume balances of mass, momentum, and en- ergy which led to estimates of global parameters: mass flow, force, torque, total heat transfer. Chapter 4 presented infinitesimal balances which led to the basic partial dif- ferential equations of fluid flow and some particular solutions. These two chapters cov- ered analytical techniques, which are limited to fairly simple geometries and well- defined boundary conditions. Probably one-third of fluid-flow problems can be attacked in this analytical or theoretical manner. The other two-thirds of all fluid problems are too complex, both geometrically and physically, to be solved analytically. They must be tested by experiment. Their behav- ior is reported as experimental data. Such data are much more useful if they are ex- pressed in compact, economic form. Graphs are especially useful, since tabulated data cannot be absorbed, nor can the trends and rates of change be observed, by most en- gineering eyes. These are the motivations for dimensional analysis. The technique is traditional in fluid mechanics and is useful in all engineering and physical sciences, with notable uses also seen in the biological and social sciences.

Both their sources are considered: dimensional analysis and scaling of governing equations with boundary con- ditions. The numbers produced by scaling of equation are presented for transport of momentum, heat and mass. Momentum transport is considered in both single-phase and multi-phase flows. The numbers obtained are assigned the physical meaning, and their mutual relations are highlighted. Certain drawbacks of building correlations based on dimensionless numbers are pointed out. © 2008 The Institution of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Geometric similarity: The model and the prototype must be similar in shape. (Fig. 39a) This is essential because one can use a constant scale factor to relate the dimensions of model and prototype. 2. Dynamic similarity: The flow conditions in two cases are such that all forces (pressure viscous, surface tension, etc) must be parallel and may also be scaled by a constant scaled factor at all corresponding points. Such requirement is restrictive and may be difficult to implement under certain experiential conditions. Dimensional analysis can be used to identify the dimensional groups to achieve dynamic similarity between geometrically similar flows.

  • Module 6 : Lecture 1 DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS (Part – I) Overview
    NPTEL – Mechanical – Principle of Fluid Dynamics Module 6 : Lecture 1 DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS (Part – I) Overview Many practical flow problems of different nature can be solved by using equations and analytical procedures, as discussed in the previous modules. However, solutions of some real flow problems depend heavily on experimental data and the refinements in the analysis are made, based on the measurements. Sometimes, the experimental work in the laboratory is not only time-consuming, but also expensive. So, the dimensional analysis is an important tool that helps in correlating analytical results with experimental data for such unknown flow problems. Also, some dimensionless parameters and scaling laws can be framed in order to predict the prototype behavior from the measurements on the model. The important terms used in this module may be defined as below; Dimensional Analysis: The systematic procedure of identifying the variables in a physical phenomena and correlating them to form a set of dimensionless group is known as dimensional analysis. Dimensional Homogeneity: If an equation truly expresses a proper relationship among variables in a physical process, then it will be dimensionally homogeneous. The equations are correct for any system of units and consequently each group of terms in the equation must have the same dimensional representation. This is also known as the law of dimensional homogeneity. Dimensional variables: These are the quantities, which actually vary during a given case and can be plotted against each other. Dimensional constants: These are normally held constant during a given run. But, they may vary from case to case. Pure constants: They have no dimensions, but, while performing the mathematical manipulation, they can arise.

  • Dimensional Analysis and Similitude
    Fluid Mechanics Chapter 8 Dimensional Analysis and Similitude Dr. Amer Khalil Ababneh Introduction Because of the complexity of fluid mechanics, the design of many fluid systems relies heavily on experimental results. Tests are typically carried out on a subscale model, and the results are extrapolated to the full-scale system (prototype). The principles underlying the correspondence between the model and the prototype are addressed in this chapter. Dimensional analysis is the process of grouping of variables into significant dimensionless groups, thus reducing problem complexity. Similitude (Similarity) is the process by which geometric and dynamic parameters are selected for the subscale model so that meaningful correspondence can be made to the full size prototype. 8.2 Buckingham Π Theorem In 1915 Buckingham showed that the number of independent dimensionless groups (dimensionless parameters) can be reduced from a set of variables in a given process is n - m, where n is the number of variables involved and m is the number of basic dimensions included in the variables. Buckingham referred to the dimensionless groups as Π, which is the reason the theorem is called the Π theorem. Henceforth dimensionless groups will be referred to as π-groups. If the equation describing a physical system has n dimensional variables and is expressed as then it can be rearranged and expressed in terms of (n - m) π- groups as 1 ( 2 , 3 ,..., nm ) Example If there are five variables (F, V, ρ, μ, and D) to describe the drag on a sphere and three basic dimensions (L, M, and T) are involved. By the Buckingham Π theorem there will be 5 - 3 = 2 π-groups that can be used to correlate experimental results in the form F= f(V, r, m, D) 8.3 Dimensional Analysis Dimensional analysis is the process used to obtain the π-groups.
