In other words, it can flow continuously as a result of shearing action. This includes any liquid or gas. 2014 - Copyright 2013 Copyright 3 What is a Fluid? Fluid: A substance in the liquid or gas phase. A solid can resist an applied shear stress by deforming. A fluid deforms continuously under the influence of a shear stress, no matter how small. In solids, stress is proportional to strain, but in fluids, stress is proportional to strain rate. Deformation of a rubber block placed When a constant shear force is applied, a solid eventually stops between two parallel plates under the deforming at some fixed strain influence of a shear force. The shear angle, whereas a fluid never stops stress shown is that on the rubber— 2014 deforming and approaches a an equal but opposite shear stress - constant rate of strain. acts on the upper plate. Copyright 2013 Copyright 4 Stress: Force per unit area. Normal stress: The normal component of a force acting on a surface per unit area. Shear stress: The tangential component of a force acting on a surface per unit area. Pressure: The normal stress in a fluid at rest. Zero shear stress: A fluid at rest is at a state of zero shear stress. When the walls are removed or a liquid container is tilted, a shear develops as the liquid moves to re- 2014 establish a horizontal free surface. The normal stress and shear stress at - the surface of a fluid element. For fluids at rest, the shear stress is zero and pressure is the only normal stress. 2013 Copyright 5 In a liquid, groups of molecules can move relative to each other, but the volume remains relatively constant because of the strong cohesive forces between the molecules. As a result, a liquid takes the shape of the container it is in, and it forms a free surface in a larger container in a gravitational field. A gas expands until it encounters the walls of the container and fills the entire available space. This is because the gas molecules are widely spaced, and the cohesive forces between them are very small. Unlike liquids, a gas in an open container cannot form a free surface. Unlike a liquid, a gas does not form a 2014 free surface, and it - expands to fill the entire available space. 2013 Copyright 6 Intermolecular bonds are strongest in solids and weakest in gases. Solid: The molecules in a solid are arranged in a pattern that is repeated throughout. Liquid: In liquids molecules can rotate and translate freely. Gas: In the gas phase, the molecules are far apart from each other, and molecular ordering is nonexistent. 2014 The arrangement of atoms in different phases: (a) molecules are at relatively fixed - positions in a solid, (b) groups of molecules move about each other in the liquid phase, and (c) individual molecules move about at random in the gas phase. 2013 Copyright 7 Gas and vapor are often used as synonymous words. Gas: The vapor phase of a substance is customarily called a gas when it is above the critical temperature. Vapor: Usually implies that the current phase is not far from a state of condensation. Macroscopic or classical approach: Does not require a knowledge of the behavior of individual molecules and provides a direct and easy way to analyze engineering problems. Microscopic or statistical approach: Based on the average behavior of large groups of individual molecules. On a microscopic scale, pressure is determined by the interaction of 2014 individual gas molecules. However, - we can measure the pressure on a macroscopic scale with a pressure 2013 Copyright gage. 8 Fluid Flow • The tendency of continuous deformation of fluid is called fluidity. • The act of continuous deformation is called flow . • Flow means that the constituent fluid particles continuously change their positions relative to one another. 2014 - Copyright 2013 Copyright Application Areas of Fluid Mechanics 2014 Fluid dynamics is used extensively in - the design of artificial hearts.

In other words, viscosity can be seen as internal friction to fluid motion which can then lead to energy loss. • Different fluids deform at different rates under the same shear stress. The ease with which a fluid pours is an indication of its viscosity. Fluid with a high viscosity such as syrup deforms more slowly than fluid with a low viscosity such as water. The viscosity is also known as dynamic viscosity. Units: N.s/m2 or kg/m/s 2014 .

(ii) When n > 1, the fluid is dilatants, i.e., quicksand, butter, printing ink. (iii) When n < 1, the fluid is pseudo plastic, i.e., gelatin, blood, milk, paper pulp, etc. 2014 (iv) When n = 1, B ≠ 0, the fluid is Bingham plastic, i.e., sewage - sludge, drilling muds,etc. Copyright 2013 Copyright Wednesday, July 31, 2019 Wednesday, TYPES OF FLUIDS TYPES OF 29 Copyright 2013-2014 Variation of viscosity with temperature • In the case of gases, increased temperature makes the molecular movement more vigorous and increases molecular mixing so that the viscosity increases. • In the case of a liquid, as its temperature increases molecules separate from each other, decreasing the attraction between them, and so the viscosity decreases.

  • Fluid Mechanics
    FLUID MECHANICS PROF. DR. METİN GÜNER COMPILER ANKARA UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY AND TECHNOLOGIES ENGINEERING 1 1. INTRODUCTION Mechanics is the oldest physical science that deals with both stationary and moving bodies under the influence of forces. Mechanics is divided into three groups: a) Mechanics of rigid bodies, b) Mechanics of deformable bodies, c) Fluid mechanics Fluid mechanics deals with the behavior of fluids at rest (fluid statics) or in motion (fluid dynamics), and the interaction of fluids with solids or other fluids at the boundaries (Fig.1.1.). Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics which involves the study of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into two. a)Fluid Statics b)Fluid Dynamics Fluid statics or hydrostatics is the branch of fluid mechanics that studies fluids at rest. It embraces the study of the conditions under which fluids are at rest in stable equilibrium Hydrostatics is fundamental to hydraulics, the engineering of equipment for storing, transporting and using fluids. Hydrostatics offers physical explanations for many phenomena of everyday life, such as why atmospheric pressure changes with altitude, why wood and oil float on water, and why the surface of water is always flat and horizontal whatever the shape of its container. Fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that deals with fluid flow— the natural science of fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. It has several subdisciplines itself, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of liquids in motion).

  • Glossary: Definitions
    Appendix B Glossary: Definitions The definitions given here apply to the terminology used throughout this book. Some of the terms may be defined differently by other authors; when this is the case, alternative terminology is noted. When two or more terms with identical or similar meaning are in general acceptance, they are given in the order of preference of the current writers. Allowable stress (working stress): If a member is so designed that the maximum stress as calculated for the expected conditions of service is less than some limiting value, the member will have a proper margin of security against damage or failure. This limiting value is the allowable stress subject to the material and condition of service in question. The allowable stress is made less than the damaging stress because of uncertainty as to the conditions of service, nonuniformity of material, and inaccuracy of the stress analysis (see Ref. 1). The margin between the allowable stress and the damaging stress may be reduced in proportion to the certainty with which the conditions of the service are known, the intrinsic reliability of the material, the accuracy with which the stress produced by the loading can be calculated, and the degree to which failure is unattended by danger or loss. (Compare with Damaging stress; Factor of safety; Factor of utilization; Margin of safety. See Refs. l–3.) Apparent elastic limit (useful limit point): The stress at which the rate of change of strain with respect to stress is 50% greater than at zero stress. It is more definitely determinable from the stress–strain diagram than is the proportional limit, and is useful for comparing materials of the same general class.

  • Lecture 1: Introduction
    Lecture 1: Introduction E. J. Hinch Non-Newtonian fluids occur commonly in our world. These fluids, such as toothpaste, saliva, oils, mud and lava, exhibit a number of behaviors that are different from Newtonian fluids and have a number of additional material properties. In general, these differences arise because the fluid has a microstructure that influences the flow. In section 2, we will present a collection of some of the interesting phenomena arising from flow nonlinearities, the inhibition of stretching, elastic effects and normal stresses. In section 3 we will discuss a variety of devices for measuring material properties, a process known as rheometry. 1 Fluid Mechanical Preliminaries The equations of motion for an incompressible fluid of unit density are (for details and derivation see any text on fluid mechanics, e.g. [1]) @u + (u · r) u = r · S + F (1) @t r · u = 0 (2) where u is the velocity, S is the total stress tensor and F are the body forces. It is customary to divide the total stress into an isotropic part and a deviatoric part as in S = −pI + σ (3) where tr σ = 0. These equations are closed only if we can relate the deviatoric stress to the velocity field (the pressure field satisfies the incompressibility condition). It is common to look for local models where the stress depends only on the local gradients of the flow: σ = σ (E) where E is the rate of strain tensor 1 E = ru + ruT ; (4) 2 the symmetric part of the the velocity gradient tensor. The trace-free requirement on σ and the physical requirement of symmetry σ = σT means that there are only 5 independent components of the deviatoric stress: 3 shear stresses (the off-diagonal elements) and 2 normal stress differences (the diagonal elements constrained to sum to 0).

  • Navier-Stokes-Equation
    Math 613 * Fall 2018 * Victor Matveev Derivation of the Navier-Stokes Equation 1. Relationship between force (stress), stress tensor, and strain: Consider any sub-volume inside the fluid, with variable unit normal n to the surface of this sub-volume. Definition: Force per area at each point along the surface of this sub-volume is called the stress vector T. When fluid is not in motion, T is pointing parallel to the outward normal n, and its magnitude equals pressure p: T = p n. However, if there is shear flow, the two are not parallel to each other, so we need a marix (a tensor), called the stress-tensor , to express the force direction relative to the normal direction, defined as follows: T Tn or Tnkjjk As we will see below, σ is a symmetric matrix, so we can also write Tn or Tnkkjj The difference in directions of T and n is due to the non-diagonal “deviatoric” part of the stress tensor, jk, which makes the force deviate from the normal: jkp jk jk where p is the usual (scalar) pressure From general considerations, it is clear that the only source of such “skew” / ”deviatoric” force in fluid is the shear component of the flow, described by the shear (non-diagonal) part of the “strain rate” tensor e kj: 2 1 jk2ee jk mm jk where euujk j k k j (strain rate tensro) 3 2 Note: the funny construct 2/3 guarantees that the part of proportional to has a zero trace. The two terms above represent the most general (and the only possible) mathematical expression that depends on first-order velocity derivatives and is invariant under coordinate transformations like rotations.

  • Using Lenterra Shear Stress Sensors to Measure Viscosity
    Application Note: Using Lenterra Shear Stress Sensors to Measure Viscosity Guidelines for using Lenterra’s shear stress sensors for in-line, real-time measurement of viscosity in pipes, thin channels, and high-shear mixers. Shear Stress and Viscosity Shear stress is a force that acts on an object that is directed parallel to its surface. Lenterra’s RealShear™ sensors directly measure the wall shear stress caused by flowing or mixing fluids. As an example, when fluids pass between a rotor and a stator in a high-shear mixer, shear stress is experienced by the fluid and the surfaces that it is in contact with. A RealShear™ sensor can be mounted on the stator to measure this shear stress, as a means to monitor mixing processes or facilitate scale-up. Shear stress and viscosity are interrelated through the shear rate (velocity gradient) of a fluid: ∂u τ = µ = γµ & . ∂y Here τ is the shear stress, γ˙ is the shear rate, µ is the dynamic viscosity, u is the velocity component of the fluid tangential to the wall, and y is the distance from the wall. When the viscosity of a fluid is not a function of shear rate or shear stress, that fluid is described as “Newtonian.” In non-Newtonian fluids the viscosity of a fluid depends on the shear rate or stress (or in some cases the duration of stress). Certain non-Newtonian fluids behave as Newtonian fluids at high shear rates and can be described by the equation above. For others, the viscosity can be expressed with certain models.

Sonin 2001 2 1 Surface Stress So far we have been dealing with quantities like density and velocity, which at a given instant have specific values at every point in the fluid or other continuously distributed material. The density (rv ,t) is a scalar field in the sense that it has a scalar value at every point, while the velocity v (rv ,t) is a vector field, since it has a direction as well as a magnitude at every point. Fig. 1: A surface element at a point in a continuum. The surface stress is a more complicated type of quantity. The reason for this is that one cannot talk of the stress at a point without first defining the particular surface through v that point on which the stress acts. A small fluid surface element centered at the point r is defined by its area A (the prefix indicates an infinitesimal quantity) and by its outward v v unit normal vector n .

    I. FLUID MECHANICS I.1 Basic Concepts & Definitions: Fluid Mechanics - Study of fluids at rest, in motion, and the effects of fluids on boundaries. Note: This definition outlines the key topics in the study of fluids: (1) fluid statics (fluids at rest), (2) momentum and energy analyses (fluids in motion), and (3) viscous effects and all sections considering pressure forces (effects of fluids on boundaries). Fluid - A substance which moves and deforms continuously as a result of an applied shear stress. The definition also clearly shows that viscous effects are not considered in the study of fluid statics. Two important properties in the study of fluid mechanics are: Pressure and Velocity These are defined as follows: Pressure - The normal stress on any plane through a fluid element at rest. Key Point: The direction of pressure forces will always be perpendicular to the surface of interest. Velocity - The rate of change of position at a point in a flow field. It is used not only to specify flow field characteristics but also to specify flow rate, momentum, and viscous effects for a fluid in motion. I-1 I.4 Dimensions and Units This text will use both the International System of Units (S.I.) and British Gravitational System (B.G.). A key feature of both is that neither system uses gc.
