Fluid Mechanics 101 a Skeleton Guide Fluid Mechanics 101 A Skeleton Guide J. E. Shepherd Aeronautics and Mechanical Engineering California Institute of Technology Pasadena, CA USA 91125 1995-present - Revised December 16, 2007 Foreword This is guide is intended for students in Ae101 “Fluid Mechanics”, the class on the fundamentals of fluid mechanics that all first year graduate students take in Aeronautics and Mechanical Engineering at Caltech. It contains all the essential formulas grouped into sections roughly corresponding to the order in which the material is taught when I give the course (I have done this now five times beginning in 1995). This is not a text book on the subject or even a set of lecture notes. The document is incomplete as description of fluid mechanics and entire subject areas such as free surface flows, buoyancy, turbulent flows, etc., are missing (some of these elements are in Brad Sturtevant’s class notes which cover much of the same ground but are more expository). It is simply a collection of what I view as essential formulas for most of the class. The need for this typeset formulary grew out of my poor chalk board work and the many mistakes that happen when I lecture. Several generations of students have chased the errors out but please bring any that remain to my attention.

    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).

  • 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).

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 .

  • Downstream Instability of Viscoelastic Flow Past a Cylinder
    Proceeding of the 12-th ASAT Conference, 29-31 May 2007 CFD-02 1 12-th International Conference Military Technical College on Kobry El-Kobba Aerospace Sciences & Cairo, Egypt Aviation Technology DOWNSTREAM INSTABILITY OF VISCOELASTIC FLOW PAST A CYLINDER H. KAMAL§*, H. NAJI*, L. THAIS* & G. MOMPEAN* ABSTRACT This work aims at simulating two-dimensional viscoelastic incompressible fluid flow past a non-confined cylinder. The finite volume method is used to descritize the governing equations written in the generalized orthogonal coordinate system. For the viscoelastic constitutive equation, two models are studied; the Oldryod-B model and the Phan-Thien-Tanner model PTT model. The quadratic scheme QUICK is employed to evaluate the convection terms. The terms of diffusion, advection and acceleration are treated explicitly. The Elastic Viscous Split Stresses (EVSS) scheme is used to decompose the stress tensor to enhance the stability of computations. The obtained results indicate that, for Newtonian flow, the onset of von Karman street occurs at Reynolds number Re ≥ 47. Upon the onset of vortex shedding the downstream instability zone is elongated and the shedding frequency is reduced. The PTT model proves more stability of computations and reached higher Deborah numbers.

    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. Rather, in both systems the combination of units for mass * acceleration yields the unit of force, i.e. Newton’s second law yields 2 2 S.I. - 1 Newton (N) = 1 kg m/s B.G. - 1 lbf = 1 slug ft/s This will be particularly useful in the following: Concept Expression Units momentum m!

  • Review of Fluid Mechanics Terminology
    CBE 6333, R. Levicky 1 Review of Fluid Mechanics Terminology The Continuum Hypothesis: We will regard macroscopic behavior of fluids as if the fluids are perfectly continuous in structure. In reality, the matter of a fluid is divided into fluid molecules, and at sufficiently small (molecular and atomic) length scales fluids cannot be viewed as continuous. However, since we will only consider situations dealing with fluid properties and structure over distances much greater than the average spacing between fluid molecules, we will regard a fluid as a continuous medium whose properties (density, pressure etc.) vary from point to point in a continuous way. For the problems that we will be interested in, the microscopic details of fluid structure will not be needed and the continuum approximation will be appropriate. However, there are situations when molecular level details are important; for instance when the dimensions of a channel that the fluid is flowing through become comparable to the mean free paths of the fluid molecules or to the molecule size. In such instances, the continuum hypothesis does not apply. Fluid : a substance that will deform continuously in response to a shear stress no matter how small the stress may be. Shear Stress : Force per unit area that is exerted parallel to the surface on which it acts. 2 Shear stress units: Force/Area, ex. N/m . Usual symbols: σij , τij (i ≠j). Example 1: shear stress between a block and a surface: Example 2: A simplified picture of the shear stress between two laminas (layers) in a flowing liquid. The top layer moves relative to the bottom one by a velocity ∆V, and collision interactions between the molecules of the two layers give rise to shear stress.
