Fluid Mechanics

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned


with the mechanics of fluids and the forces on
them.
It has applications in a wide range of disciplines,
including mechanical, civil, chemical and
biomedical engineering, geophysics, oceanography,
meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.
History
• Faces of Fluid Mechanics

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


Fluid Mechanics
• Fluids essential to life
– Human body 65% water
– Earth’s surface is 2/3 water
– Atmosphere extends 17km above the earth’s surface

• History shaped by fluid mechanics


– Geomorphology (the study of the physical features of the surface of the
earth and their relation to its geological structures)
– Human migration and civilization (AGRICULTURE, URBAN
DEVELOPMENT, VEHICLES)
– Modern scientific and mathematical theories and methods
(Theorem Bernoullis, Archimedes Principles,Newton)

• Affects every part of our lives

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


Fluids
• Fluids: Have the ability to flow.

• A fluid is a collection of molecules that are


randomly arranged & held together by
weak cohesive forces & by forces exerted
by the walls of a container.(Doesn’t
maintain a fixed shape

liquids & gases are usually consider as fluids

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


Fluids
• Fluid is a substance which is capable of flowing.

• It has no definite shape of its own but conforms


to the shape of the container.

• Fluid continues to deform when subjected to


shear force.

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


• Two basic categories of fluid mechanics:

• Fluid Statics
– Obviously, describes fluids at rest

• Fluid Dynamics
– Obviously, describes fluids in motion

• the branch of applied science that is concerned with the


movement of liquids and gases,

Density
• Density, ρ (lower case Greek rho, NOT p!)
• Density (mass density)
• It can be defined as the ratio of a fluid to its volume.
• The unit used is kg/m3. The symbol used is ρ .

ρ = Mass of fluid
Volume of fluid

ρ = (m/V) kg/m3

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


Density
• Note : ρ = m/V

⇒ Mass of body, density ρ, volume V is


m = ρV

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


Density
•ρ = m/V 3
(kg/m )
Or
ω=specific weight

•ρ = ω/g 3
(kg/m )
The density of liquid may be considered constant as liquids
are mostly incompressible while the density of gases changes
with pressure and temperature.
(Ketumpatan cecair boleh dianggap malar seperti cecair kebanyakannya tak boleh
mampat manakala ketumpatan gas berubah dengan tekanan dan suhu)

In SI units, density is expressed in kg/m3


For water, ρ is 1000 kg/m3

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


ρ = (m/V) SG = (ρ/ρwater) = 10-3ρ

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


NOTE:
1. The density for a substance varies slightly with temperature, since
volume is temperature dependent

2. The values of densities for various substances are an indication of


the average molecular spacing in the substance. They show that
this spacing is much greater than it is in a solid or liquid

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


Specific Weight (ω)
• It is a force of gravity on the mass contained in a unit volume, i.e.
specific weight w is the weight per unit volume

w = Weight of fluid = Mass x Acceleration = Mass of fluid x g


Volume of fluid V Volume of fluid

ω=W/V or
ω = mg / V
ω = ρ g (N/m3)

The specific weight of water is (9.81 x 1000) newton/m3 in SI units.

It is equal to 9810 N/m3

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


Specific Volume (Vs)
• Defined as volume of a liquid occupied by a unit
mass OR volume per unit mass of fluid

• It is reciprocal to density and expressed in m3/kg. It


is most commonly used in gases.

Vs (Specific Volume)=volume of fluid


mass of fluid

ρ

POLITEKNIK TUANKU SULTANAH BAHIYAH


Specific Gravity (s)
• Specific Gravity (s): Ratio of density of a
substance to density of water

ρwater = 1000 kg/m3 = 1 g/cm3

• It is a term used to compare the density of a liquid


(substance) with that density of water and hence
s = Density of liquid = ρliquid
Density of water ρwater

So, density of fluid = specific gravity (s) x density of water (ρwater )

Physical Nature and Significance of
Viscosity in Fluid Flow

• Viscosity is defined as the properties of a fluid


which offer resistance to the movement of
one layer of fluid over another adjacent layer
of the fluid.

• The viscosity of a fluid determines the amount


of resistance to shear force.
• Viscosities of liquids decrease as temperature
increases and are usually not affected by
pressure changes. From Newton’s law of
Viscosity ;

Laminar shear of fluid between two plates.


Friction between the fluid and the moving
boundaries causes the fluid to shear. The force
required for this action is a measure of the
fluid's viscosity
In a general parallel flow (such as could occur
in a straight pipe), the shear stress is
proportional to the gradient of the velocity

Viscosity, the slope of each line, varies among


materials

Example of the viscosity of milk and water.
Liquids with higher viscosities make smaller
splashes when poured at the same velocity.

Types of Fluid
The shear stress is more than the yield
value and shear stress is proportional to
the rate of shear strain (or velocity
gradient)

A real fluid, in which the shear stress is


not proportional to the rate of

A real fluid, in which the shear stress is


directly, proportional to the rate of
shear strain (or velocity gradient

A fluid which is incompressible and is


having no viscosity, is known as an ideal
fluid. Is only imaginary fluid as all fluids,
which exist have some viscosity
Ideal Fluids
● Ideal fluid: a fluid with no friction
● Also referred to as an inviscoity (zero viscosity) fluid
● Internal forces at any section within are normal (pressure forces)
● Practical applications: many flows approximate frictionless flow away
from solid boundaries.
● Do not confuse ideal fluid with a perfect (ideal) gas

Real Fluids
● Tangential or shearing forces always develop where there is motion
relative to solid body
● Thus, fluid friction is created
● Shear forces oppose motion of one particle past another
● Friction forces gives rise to a fluid property called viscosity
Viscosity
● A measure of a fluid's resistance to angular deformation, e.g.,
– Motor oil: high viscosity, feels sticky
– Gasoline: low viscosity, flows “faster”
● Friction forces result from cohesion and momentum interchange
between molecules.

Variation with temperature: Liquids: viscosity


decreases as temperature increases Gases:
viscosity increases as temperature increases
Viscosity
● Mechanisms of viscous action: – Liquids: cohesion forces (diminish
with temperature) – Gases: molecular interchange between moving
layers

● Molecular interchange in gases: – Molecular interchange


Äshear/friction between layers – As T increases, so does molecular
activity Ä increasing viscosity in gases as T increases

● Rapidly-moving molecule into slowly-moving layer - Ä speeds

● Fluid particles adhere to walls: no-slip condition
● Velocities: zero at (1), U at (2) Ä velocity profile
● For small U, Y, and no net flow Ä linear velocity profile
● Experiments show that F ~ A⋅U/Y
Viscosity
Newton's equation
● From previous slide: F ~ A⋅U/Y
● τ = F/A = shear stress between layers
● Newton's equation of viscosity (for the linear velocity profile)
● μ = coefficient of viscosity, absolute viscosity, dynamic viscosity,
or simply viscosity
For solids, shear stress depends on magnitude of angular
deformation (τ ~ angular deformation) 2 – For many fluids
shear stress is proportional to the time rate of angular
deformation (τ ~ du/dy)
τ - vs.- (du/dy) behavior

Different materials

● Newtonian fluid: μ is constant – Air, water


are Newtonian fluids
● Ideal fluid has μ = 0
● Ideal plastic: requires a threshold stress τ 0
before it flows
● Non-Newtonian fluids: μ varies with velocity
gradient (du/dy) – Paints, printer's ink, gels,
emulsions are NonNewtonian fluids.
Viscosity
Units of viscosity

● In B.G. Units
● In S.I. Units
● The poise (P):
– Metric unit of viscosity
– Named after Jean Louis Poiseuille (1799-1869)
– The poise: 1 P = 0.10 N⋅s/m2
– The centipoise: 1 cP = 0.01 P = 1 mN⋅s/m2
– For water at 68.4o F (20.22o C), μ = 1 cP
Viscosity
– Kinematic viscosity
● Ratio of absolute viscosity to density
● Appears in many problems in fluids
● Called kinematic viscosity because it involves no force (dynamic)
dimensions
● B.G. Units = ft2 /sec, S.I. Units = m2 /s
● The stoke (St) – Metric unit of kinematic viscosity – Named after Sir
George Stokes (1819-1903) – The centistoke: 1 cSt = 0.01 St = 10-6 m2 /s
– Kinematic vs. Dynamic
● μ for most fluids is virtually independent of pressure for the range of
interest to engineers ● ν for gases varies strongly with pressure
because of changes in density ( ρ )
● To determine ν at non-standard pressures, look up the pressure-
independent value of μ and calculate ν = μ/ρ.
● To calculate ρ use the perfect gas law.
