Fluid Mechanics
1) LAGRANGIAN DESCRIPTION
2) EULERIAN DESCRIPTION
1)FOLLOWING INDIVIDUAL FLUID PARTICLES AS THEY
MOVE AND DETERMINIING HOW THE FLUID PROPERTIES
ASSOCIATED WITH THESES PARTICLES CHANGE AS A
FUNCTION OF TIME.
2)THE FLUID PARTICLES ARE "TAGGED" OR IDENTIFIED.
1)USES THE FIELD CONCEPT
2)FLUID MOTION IS GIVEN BY COMPLETELY PRESCRIBING
THE NESCESSARY PROPERTIES SUCH AS
PRESSURE,DENSITY,VELOCITY,ETC. AS FUNCTIONS OF
SPACE AND TIME.
TYPES OF FLUID FLOW:
1.STEADY AND UNSTEADY FLOW
2.UNIFORM AND NON UNIFORM FLOW
3.1,2,3,DIMENSIONAL FLOW
4.ROTATIONAL AND IRROTATIONAL FLOW
5.LAMINAR AND TURBULANT FLOW
6.COMPRESSIBLE AND INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW
1) Objective of the topic i.e., kinematics of fluid flow is to introduce
various aspects of fluid motion without being concerned with the
actual forces necessary to produce the motion.
6) Different types of fluid flow: steady and unsteady flow, uniform and
non-uniform flow, 1.2.3 dimensional flow, rotational and irrotational
flow, laminar and turbulant flow, compressible and incompressible
flow.
