i: 14 FORGES ON SUB-MERGED Fo Wo > 14.1 INTRODUCTION When a fluid is flowing over a stationary body, a force is exerted by the fluid on the body. Similarly, when a body is moving in a stationary fluid, a force is exerted by the fluid on the body. ‘Also when the body and fluid both are moving at different velocities, a force is exerted by the fluid ‘on the body. Some of the examples of the fluids flowing over stationary bodies or bodies moving in, 4 Stationary fluid are : 1. Flow of air over buildings, 2. Flow of water over bridges, 3, Submarines, ships, airplanes and automobiles moving through water or air. » 14.2 FORCE EXERTED BY A FLOWING FLUID ON A STATIONARY BODY Consider a body held stationary in a real uid, which is flowing at a uniform velocity U as shown in Fig. 14.1. ge ‘STATIONARY BODY Fig. 14.1 Force on a stationary body. ‘The fluid will exert a force on the stationary body. The total force (F) exerted by the fluid on the body is perpendicular to the surface of the body. Thus the total force is inclined to the direction of ‘motion. The total force can be resolved in two components, one in the direction of motion and other perpendicular to the direction of motion. 657 658 Fluid Mechanics 14.2.1 Drag. The component of the total force (F,) in the direction of motion is called ‘drag’. This component is denoted by Fp, Thus drag isthe force exerted by the fluid in the direction of motion. 14.2.2 Lift. The component of the total force (F,) in the direction perpendicular to the direction ‘of motion is known as ‘lift, This is denoted by F. Thus lift is the force exerted by the fluid in the direction perpendicular to the direction of motion. Lift force occurs only when the axis of the body is inclined to the direction of fluid flow. If the axis of the body is parallel to the direction of fluid flow, lift force is zero. In that case only drag force acts. If the fluid is assumed ideal and the body is symmetrical such as a sphere or cylinder, both the drag and lift will be zero. » 14.3, EXPRESSION FOR DRAG AND LIFT Consider an arbitrary shaped solid body placed in a real fluid, which is flowing with a uniform velocity U in a horizontal direction as shown in Fig. 14.2.

In the chapter of Dimensional and Model ‘Analysis it is shown in problem 12.6 that the force exerted by a fluid on a supersonic plane is given by : F=ptu79|.~, = 00 8 rr aa i) Also in problem 12.7, itis shown that the force exerted by a fluid on a partially sub-merged body is given by : F=pluo| puL Thus the general expression for the force exerted by a fluid (air or water) on a body (completely ‘sub-merged or partially sub-merged) is given as “id, 2729 | fs _K vp et an Acceleration due to gravity.

But if the ratio of the velocity of the body to the velocity of the sound is less than 0.3, the force exerted by the fluid on the body due to compressibility is negligible.

Consider the flow ofa fluid over a flat plate when the plate is placed parallel to the direction ofthe flow as shown in Fig. 14.6. In this cos 8, which is the angle made by pressure with the direction motion, wll be 90°. Thus te term Jp cos 844 will be zero and hence total drag will be equal to fiction drag (or shear drag). I the plate is placed perpendicular tothe flow as shown in Fig. 14.7, the angle @, made by the pressure with the direction of motion will be zero. Hence the term | sin 6d will become equal to ze10 and hence total drag will be due to the pressure difference between the upstream and downstream side ofthe plate. Ifthe plate is held at an angle with the direction of flow, both the terms. J p cos 6dA and J ty sin 844 will exist and total drag will be equal to the sum of pressure drag and friction drag.

A stream-lined body is defined as that body whose surface coincides with the stream-lines, when the body is placed in a flow. In that case the separation of flow ‘will ake place only at the tailing edge (or rearmost part of the body). Though the boundary layer will start atthe leading edge, will become turbulent from laminar, yet it does not separate upto the rearmost part of the body in the case of stream-lined body. Thus behind a stream-lined body, wake formation zone will be very small and consequently the pressure drag will be very stall. Then the total drag on. the stream-lined body will be due to friction (shear) only. A body may be stream-lined : 1. at low velocities but may not be so at higher velocities. 2. when placed in a particular position in the flow but may not be so when placed in another position. 14.3.4 Bluff Body. A bluff body is defined as that body whose surface does not coincide with the streamlines, when placed in a flow. Then the flow is separated from the surface of the body much ahead of its tailing edge with the result of a very large wake formation zone. Then the drag due to pressure will be very large as compared to the drag due to friction on the body. Thus the bodies of such ‘shape in which the pressure drag is very large as compared to friction drag are called bluff bodies. » 14.4 DRAG ON A SPHERE p= Md fit [672 Fluid Mechanics F y= 3mDU.

Ans. » 14.5 TERMINAL VELOCITY OF A BODY ‘Terminal velocity is defined as the maximum constant velocity ofa falling body (such as sphere or ‘a composite body such as parachute together with man) with which the body will be travelling. When the body is allowed to fall from rest in the atmosphere, the velocity of the body increases due to acceleration of gravity. With the increase of the velocity, the drag force, opposing the motion of body also increases. A stage is reached when the upward drag force acting on the body will be equal to the weight of the body. Then the net external force acting on the body will be zero and the body will be travelling at constant speed. This constant speed is called terminal velocity of the falling body. If the body drops in a fluid, at the instant it has acquired terminal velocity, the net force acting on the body will be zero, The forces acting on the body at this state will be : 1, Weight of body (WW), acting downward, 2. Drag force (F,), acting vertically upward, and. 3, Buoyant force (F). acting vertically up. ‘The net force on the body should be zero, ie., W= Fp + Fy (4.10) Problem 14.17 A metallic sphere of sp. gr. 7.0 falls in an oil of density 800 kg/m’.

If the Reynolds, Uxd umber ofthe low is tessthan 0.2 (i.,"*4 <0) me nea fore smeigibly sal as compared to viscous force and hence the flow pattern about the cylinder will be symmetrical. As the Reynolds number is increased, inertia forces increase and hence they must be taken into consideration for analysis of flow over cylinder. With the increase of the Reynolds number, the flow pattern becomes, unsymmetrical with respect to an axis perpendicular to the direction of flow. The drag force, i-e., the force exerted by the flowing fluid on the cylinder in the direction of flow depends upon the Reynolds, number of the flow. From experiments, it has been observed that : (When Reynolds number (R,) < I, the drag foree is directly proportional to velocity and hence the drag co-efficient (C,) is inversely proportional to Reynolds number. (ii) With the increase of the Reynolds number from 1 to 2000, the drag co-efficient decreases and reaches minimum value of 0.95 at R, = 2000, (Gii) With the further increase of the Reynolds number from 2000 to 3 10", the co-efficient of drag increases and attains maximum value of 1.2 at R, = 3 x 10% (iv) The value of co-efficient of drag decreases if the Reynolds number is increased from 3 x 10* to 3 x 10°, AtR, = 3 x 10°, the value of Cp = 0.3, (0) If the Reynolds number is inereased beyond 3 x 10®, the value of C,, increases and it becomes. equal to 0.7 in the end. > 14.7. DEVELOPMENT OF LIFT ON A CIRCULAR CYLINDER ‘When a body is placed in a fluid in such a way that its axis is parallel to the direction of fluid flow and body is symmetrical, the resultant force acting on the body is in the direction of flow. There is no force component on the body perpendicular to the direction of flow. But the component to the force on the body perpendicular to the direction of flow, is known as ‘Lift, Hence in this case lift will be zero. ‘The lift will be acting on the body when the axis of the symmetrical body is inclined to the direction of flow or body is unsymmetrical. In the case of circular cylinder, the body is symmetrical and the axis is parallel to the direction of flow when cylinder is stationary. Hence the lift will be zero. But if the cylinder is rotated, the axis of the cylinder is no longer parallel to the direction of flow and hence lift will be acting on the rotating cylinder. This is explained by considering the following cases : 678 Fluid Mechanics 14.7.1 Flow of Ideal Fluid over Stationary Cylinder. Consider the flow of an ideal fluid ‘over a eylinder, which is stationary as shown in Fig. 14.9. Let U = Free stream velocity of fluid R= Radius of the cylinder @= Angle made by any point say C on the circumference of the cylinder withthe ditection of flow. ‘The flow pattern will be symmetrical and the velocity at any point say C on the surface of the cylinder is given by uy = 21’ sin (14.12) Fig. 14.9 Flow of ideal fluid over stationary cylinder. ‘The velocity distribution over the upper half and lower half of the cylinder from the axis AB of the cylinder are identical and hence the pressure distributions will also be same. Hence the lift acting on the cylinder will be zero. 14.7.2 Flow Pattern Around the Cylinder when a Constant Circulation Tis Imparted to the Cylinder. Circulation is defined as the flow along a closed curve, Mathematically, the circula- tion is obtained if the product of the velocity component along the curve at any point and the length of ‘the small element containing that point is integrated around the curve, cLosen FLow Fig. 14.10 Circulation Consider a fluid flowing with a free stream velocity equal to U. Within the fluid consider a closed curve as shown in Fig, 14.10. Let is any point on the closed curve and “dis a small length of the closed curve containing point E. Let 6, = Angle made by the tangent at E with the direction of flow, typ, = Component of free stream velocity along the tangent at E and is given as cos 8, Forces on Sub-merged Bodies 679 By definition, circulation along the closed curve is T= f velocity component along curve x Length of element = f veo, xus cas were § = negra for the complete closed curve Crculton forthe Flawed na Free-Vortes, The eguton fr the fe vortex ow i ven by k Afi) up, X r= Constant sa where up, = velocity of fluid in a free-vortex flow r= Radius, where velocity is uo,- The flow-pattern for a free-vortex flow consists of streamlines which are series of concentric circles as shown in Fig. 14.11 (a). © = @ (>) Fig. 14.11 Stream-lines for free vortex. In case of free-vortex flow, the stream velocity at any point on a circle of radius R is equal to the tangential velocity at that point. This means that angle between the stream-lines and tangent on the stream is zero, Also from Fig. 14.11 (b), the length of the element ‘ds’ is given as ds = Rd8 For a free-vortex flow, U = lg, ¢08 8, = 1; ds= Rd® Substituting these values in equation (14.13), we get the circulation for a free vortex as P= fag xt But from equation (i), for a radius R, we have ty, XR=K P= f kao= 20k (+ fuo=2n) = 2p, xR (R=, x8) r a= oR (14.14) “i 680 Fluid Mechanics Flow over Cylinder due to Constant Cireulation. The flow pattern over a cylinder to which a constant circulation (T) is imparted is obtained by combining the flow patterns shown in Figs. 14.9 and Fig. 14.11 (a) The resultant flow pattern is shown in Fig. 14.12. The velocity at any point on the surface ofthe cylinder is obtained by adding equations (14.12) and (14.14) as (14.15) Fig. 14.12 Flow pattern overa rotating cylinder. For the upper half portion of the cylinder, @ varies from 0° to 180° and hence component of velocity, 2U sin @ is positive. But for the lower half portion of the cylinder, @ varies from 180° (0 360". As sin @ for the values of @ more than 180° and less than 360° is negative and hence component ‘of velocity 2U sin 6 will be negative. This means, the velocity on the upper half portion of the cylinder will be more than the velocity on the lower half portion of the cylinder. But from Bernoulli's theorem wwe know that at a surface where velocity is less, pressure will be more there and vice-versa. Hence on the lower half portion of cylinder, where velocity is less, pressure will be more than the pressure on the upper half portion of the cylinder. Due to this difference of pressure on the two portions of the cylinder, a force will be acting of the cylinder in a direction perpendicular to the direction of flow. This force is nothing but a lift force. Thus by rotating a cylinder at constant velocity in a uniform flow field, a lift force can be developed. 14.7.3 Expression for Lift Force Acting on Rotating Cylinder. Let cylinder is rotating in a uniform flow field. The resultant flow pattern will be as shown in Fig. 14.12. Consider a small length of the element on the surface of the eylinder.

This means that the density changes from point to point in compressible flow. But in case of incompressible flow, the density of the fluid is assumed to be constant. In the previous chapters, the ‘luid was assumed incompressible, and the basic equations such as equation of continuity, Bernoulli's equation and impulse momentum equations were derived on the assumption that fluid is incompressible. This assumption is true for flow of liquids, which are incompressible fluids. But in cease of flow of fluids, such as (0 flow of gases through orifices and nozzles, (id, flow of gases in machines such as compressors, and, (i) projectiles and airplanes flying at high altitude with high velocities, the density of the fluid changes during the flow. The change in density of a fluid is accompanied by the changes in pressure and temperature and hence the thermodynamic behaviour of the fluids will have to be taken into account. » 15.2. THERMODYNAMIC RELATIONS ‘The thermodynamic relations have been discussed in Chapter 1, which are as follow: 15.2.1 Equation of State. Equation of state is defined as the equation which gives the relationship between the pressure, temperature and specific volume of a gas. For a perfect gas the equation of sate is DV = RT (15.1) Absolute pressure in kgffm? or Nim? Specific volume or volume per unit mass T= Absolute temperature = 273 + £ (centigrade) Gas constant in kef-m/kg °K or (I/kg K) += 29.2 kgf-mikg °K or 287 J/kg K for air.

But as mentioned in point number 1, if the value of 2 is taken 29.2, the corresponding values of p and p are in kgf/m” and kg/m’. Hence the mass density in equation of state is in kg/m" while in Bernouli’s equation itis in ms1/m*. The density calculated from equation of state must be converted into msI/m Note. It is better to use pressure in Nim?, density in kg/m’ and value of R= 287 Skg K. The value of density calculated from equation of state will be in the same dimensions as used in Bemoulli's equation 15.2.2 Expansion and Compression of Perfect Gas. When the expansion or compression ofa perfect gas takes place, the pressure, temperature and density are changed. The change in pressure, temperature and density of a gas is brought about by the two processes which are known as 1. Isothermal process, and 2. Adiabatic process. 1. Isothermal Process. This is the process in which a gas is compressed or expanded while the temperature is kept constant. The gas obeys Boyle’s law, according to which we have pV = Constant, where V = Specific volume 2 = Constant (: v 3) (153) p 2. Adiabatic Process. If the compression or expansion of a gas takes place in such a way that the ‘gas neither gives heat, nor takes heat from its surrounding, then the process is said to be adiabatic. According to this proc: pv" = Constant where k = Ratio of the specific heat at constant pressure to the specific heat at constant volume LA for air, Constant. (as) If the adiabatic process is reversible (or frictionless), it is known as isentropic process. And if the G, pressure and density are elated such a way that isnot qua oC but equal © some postive value then the process is known as polytropic. » According to which Constant (15.5) ° where n # k but equal to some positive constant. * Please, refer to equations (15.10) and (15.11) [ ‘Compressible Flow 695 >» 15.3.

This is based on law of conservation of mass which states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Or in other words, the matter or mass is constant. For one- dimensional steady flow, the mass per second = pAV where p= Mass density, A = Area of cross-section, V = Velocity ‘As mass or mass per second is constant according to law of conserv. jon of mass.

Bernoulli's Equation. Bemoulli’s equation has been derived for incompressible fluids in Chapter 6. The same procedure is followed. The flow of a fluid particle along a stream-line in the direction of S is considered, The resultant force on the fluid particle in the direction of S is equated to ‘the mass of the fluid particle and its acceleration. As the flow of compressible fluid is steady, the same Euler's equation as given by equation (6.3) is obtained as Pe vave siz=0 (15.8) Integrating the above equation, we get Bef vars f eiz= cons « [BoB sez comn aso) ay In case of incompressible flow, the density p is constant and hence integration of “2 is equal to 2. P P But in case of compressible flow, the density p is not constant. Hence p cannot be taken outside the integration sign. With the change of p, the pressure p also changes for compressible fluids. This change of p and p takes place according to equations (15.3) or (15.4) depending upon the type of process during compressible flow. The value of p from these equations in terms of p is obtained and is 4 substan f 22 and then the integration done.

Mathematically, the momentum per second of a flowing fluid (compressible or incompressible) is = pAV x V, where pAV = Mass per second. ‘The term pAV is constant at every Section of flow due to continuity equation. This means the mo- mentum per second at any section is equal t0 the product of a constant quantity and the velocity. This also implies that momentum per second is independent of compressible effect.

The velocity with which the disturbance is transmitted depends upon the distance between the molecules of the medium, In case of solids, molecules are closely packed and hence the disturbance is transmitted instantane- ously. In case of liquids and gases (or fluids) the molecules are relatively apart. The disturbance will be transmitted from one molecule to the next molecule. But in case of fluids, there is some distance between two adjacent molecules. Hence each molecule will have to travel a certain distance before it ‘can transmit the disturbance, Thus the velocity of disturbance in case of fluids will be less than the velocity of the disturbance in solids. The distance between the molecules is related with the density, which in turn depends upon pressure in case of fluids. Hence the velocity of disturbance depends upon the changes of pressure and density of the flui 15.4.1 Expression for Velocity of Sound Wave in a Fluid. The disturbance creates the pressure waves in a fluid. These pressure waves travel with a velocity of sound waves in all directions.

It is a right long. pipe of uniform cross-sectional area, fitted with a piston. Let the pipe is filled with a compressible fluid, which is at rest initially. The piston is moved towards right and a disturbance is created in the fluid. This disturbance is in the form of pressure wave, which travels in the fluid with a velocity of sound wave.

Distance travelled by the pressure wave in time dt = Velocity of pressure wave x dt = C x dt As the value of C will be very large, hence Cx dr will be more than Vx dt. For the time interval ‘a’, the pressure wave has travelled a distance L and piston has moved through x. Thus in the length of the tube equal to (L—), the fluid will be compressed. Due to compression of the fluid, the pressure and, density of the fluid will change. Let p+ dp = Pressure after compression + dp = Density after compression or the density of fluid in the length (Lx) Now mass of fluid for a length *L’ before compression Volume of fluid upto length L =pXAXL=pxAxCxdt © Mass of fluid after compression for length (L.— x) = Density after compression x Area x Length (p+ dp) Ax (Lx) = (p+ dp) Ax (Cat Vat) From the continuity equation, we have Mass of fluid before compression L=Cdt,x= Vat) ..Aii) Mass of fluid after compression 2 pACat = (p + dp) A x (Cat ~ Vt) or pACdt = (p + dp) A x dt (C= V) Dividing by Ax di, pC = (p + dp) (C- V) = pC pV++ Cap ~ Vap & Cap = pC— pC + pV + Vap = pV + Vato. iti) But the velocity of the piston, V, is very small as compared to the velocity of the pressure wave C. Also the value of dp is very small. Hence the term (V x dp) will be very-very small and ean be neglected. Hence equation (ii) becomes, Cap = pv Ai) Now when the piston is moved with a velocity V for time dr, the fluid which is at rest initially will move with a velocity equal to the velocity of the piston. Also the pressure of the fluid will increase from p to p + dp due to the movement of the piston. Hence applying the impulse momentum equation, we get Net force on the fluid = Rate of change of momentum or (@ + dp) A~p x A= Mass per second [change of velocity of fluid] “i 704 Fluid Mechanics Total mass paL or dp A= TOMBS Tyo} = PAL (yo px A= EES [v—o]= OE v0} pacar = v- WW 0) =PACtv=01= pacy or ap = PACY - acy ap c= 2 0) or wv ) Multiplying equations (iv) and (v), we get ap Cdp = pv x 2 p= pV x ef cy a c (15.19) ap Hence equation (15.15) gives the velocity of sound wave which is the square root of the ratio of change of pressure to the change of density ofa fluid due to disturbance. 15.4.2 Velocity of Sound in Terms of Bulk Modulus.

On the basis of the Mach number, the flow is defined as : 1, Sub-sonic flow, 2. Sonic flow, and 3. Super-sonic flow. 1. Sub-sonic Flow. A flow is said sub-sonic flow if the Mach number is less than 1.0 (or M < 1) which means the velocity of flow is less than the velocity of sound wave (or V< C). 2. Sonic Flow. A flow is said to be sonic flow if the Mach number (M) is equal to 1.0. This means that when the velocity of flow V is equal to the velocity of sound C, the flow is said to be sonic flow. 3. Super-sonie Flow. A flow is said to be super-sonic flow if the Mach number is greater than 1.0 (or M> 1). This means that when velocity of flow Vis greater than the velocity of sound wave, the flow is said to be super-sonic flow.

Ans. 708 Fluid Mechanics 15.6 PROPAGATION OF PRESSURE WAVES (OR DISTURBANCES) IN A. COMPRESSIBLE FLUID Whenever any disturbance is produced in a compressible fluid, the disturbance is propagated in all directions with a velocity of sound (i-e., equal to C). The nature of propagation of the disturbance depends upon the Mach number. Let us consider a small projectile moving from left to right in a straight line in a stationary fluid. Due to the movement of the projectile, the disturbances will be ‘reated in the fluid. This disturbance will be moving in all directions with a velocity C. Hence let V = Velocity of the projectile, C= Velocity of pressure wave of disturbance created in the fluid, Let us find the nature of propagation of the disturbance for different Mach numbers. Ast Cass hen M < 1. When Mach number is less than 1.0, the flow is called sub-sonic flow. For seins <1 oY Tofino of open rte Y= Lian = 2ani,s0 ot =} which thn 1.0. Let epee iat Aan i moving ase Let in 4 seconds the projectile reaches to the position B. At A, the point 4 is also marked. The position, of the projectile after I sec, 2 sec, 3 see and 4 sec along the lines are shown by the points 3, 2, | and B respectively. The projectile moves from A to B in 4 seconds and hence the distance AB = 4 x V=4x1=4 units. The disturbance created at A in 4 seconds will move a distance = 4C = 4 x 2 ‘units in all directions. Hence taking A as centre and radius equal to 8 units, a circle is drawn. This circle gives the position of disturbance after 4 seconds. When the projectile is at point 3, it will reach B in three seconds and distance 38 = 3 x V=3 x 1 = 3 units. But the disturbance created at point 3 in three seconds will move a distance having a radius = 3 x C= 3 x 2 = 6 units. Similarly at point 2, the disturbance will have a radius = 2 x C= 4 units and at point 1, the disturbance will have a radius = 1x C = 1x 2=2 units. This is shown in Fig. 15.3 (a). ‘AS in this case V < C, the pressure wave is always ahead of the projectile and point B is inside the sphere of radius 8 unit 2nd Case : When M = 1. When M = 1, the flow is known as sonic flow. In this case, the distur- bance always travels with the projectile as shown in Fig. 15.3 (b). Let V= 1 unit, and C= 1 unit so that vii M .0. Let the projectile moves from A to B in 4 seconds. The disturbance created at A in 4xCa4x cl 4 seconds will move a distance having radius units in all directions. The projectile “SE janes Compressible Flow _709 SI rosece 2 ste en Fig. 15.3 Propagation of disturbance for different Mach numbers. from point 3 will move to position B in tree seconds. The disturbance created at point 3, will move 8 distance having radius = 3 x C= 3 x 1=3 unit in ll directions in tree seconds. Similarly atthe Point 2 and point 1, the disturbance created at these points will move a distance having radius 2 and 1 in all directions respectively. 3rd Case : When M > 1. When M > I, the flow is known as supersonic flow. Let V= I unit and c= vet = C705 A to B in 4 seconds. The distance travelled by the projectile in 4 seconds = 4 x V=4 x 1= 4 units. Hence, tke AB =4 units, The disturbance created at A will move in ll directions and in 4 seconds, the radius of disturbance will be equal a4 x C=4 x0,5= 2 units. Hence taking A as centre, draw a circle with radi equal to 2 units. After one second from A, the projectile willbe at point 3 and distance A3 = Vx1=1x1=1 unit, The projectile from point 3 wil reach point B in three seconds. Hence the disturbance created at point3 will move in all directions and in thee seconds, the radi of disturbance from point 3 will be equal 103 x C= 3 x0.5 = 1.5 units, Similarly the radius of disturbance at point 2 and Iwill 2x C=205= | unitand 1 C= 1%0.5~ 05 unit respectively as shown in Fig. 153 () In this case the sphere of propagation of disturbance always lags behind the projectile If we draw a tangent to the different circles which represent the propagated spherical waves on both sides, we shal get cone with vertex at B. This cone is known a Mach Cone. 15.6.1 Mach Angle. This is defined as the half of the angle ofthe Mach cone. In Fig. 15.3 (0), angle ais known as Mach angle. In the ALBD of Fig 15.3 (the distance 12 = Velocity of projectile the distance 1D = Velocity of sound wave = C, Hence we have wc 14 sing = 22€2 1 1 IBV V/C M 5 unit so that M .0, which is greater than unity. Let the projectile moves from (15.20) 710 Fluid Mechanics 156.2 Zone of Action. When M > 1, the effect of the disturbance is felt only in the region inside the Mach cone. This region is called the zone of action. 15.6.3 Zone of Silence. When M > 1, there is no effect of disturbance in the region outside the Mach cone. The region which is outside the Mach cone is called zone of silence. Problem 15.8 A projectile is travelling in air having pressure and temperature as 8.829 N/em? and = 2°C.

A free surface is a surface having constant pressure such as atmospheric pressure. Thus a liquid flowing at atmospheric pressure through a passage is known as flow in open channels. In most of cases, the liquid is taken as water. Hence flow of water through a passage under atmospheric pressure is called flow in open, channels. The flow of water through pipes at atmospheric pressure or when the level of water in the pipe is below the top of the pipe, is also classified as open channel flow. In case of open channel flow, as the pressure is atmospheric, the flow takes place under the force of gravity which means the flow takes place due to the slope of the bed of the channel only. The hydraulic gradient line coincides with the free surface of water. » 16.2 CLASSIFICATION OF FLOW IN CHANNELS ‘The flow in open channel is classified into the following types = 1, Steady flow and unsteady flow, 2. Uniform flow and non-uniform flow, 3. Laminar flow and turbulent flow, and 4. Sub-critical, critical and super critical flow. 16. velocity of flow, rate of flow at any point in open channel flow do not change with respect to flow is said to be steady flow. Mathematically, steady flow is expressed as av. 20 ay WM 0, 2g oe Bao 16.1 an Or ar ie) where V = velocity, Q = rate of flow and_y = depth of flow. If at any point in open channel flow, the velocity of flow, depth of flow or rate of flow changes with respect to time, the flow is said to be unsteady flow. Mathematically, unsteady flow means av ay 92 Meo or Me0 o Seo. a8 a 88 Fy Steady Flow and Unsteady Flow. If the flow characteristics such as depth of flow, the 16.2.2. Uniform Flow and Non-uniform Flow. If for a given length of the channel, the velocity of flow, depth of flow, slope of the channel and cross-section remain constant, the flow is 737 [738 Fluid Mechanics said to be uniform. On the other hand, if for a given length of the channel, the velocity of flow, depth of flow ete, do not remain constant, the flow is said tobe non-uniform flow. Mathematically, uniform and non-uniform flow are writen as: 2 9, © = 0 for uniform flow as and 2% 40, © 40 for non-uniform flow. as Non-uniform flow in open channels is also called varied flow, which is clasified inthe following to types as: (i) Rapidly Varied Flow (R.V.F.), and (ii) Gradually Varied Flow (G.V.F.) (i) Rapidly Varied Flow (R.V.F.). Rapidly varied flow is defined as that flow in which depth of flow changes abruptly over a small length of the channel. As showin in Fig. 16.1 when there is any obstruction in the path of flow of water, the level of water rises above the obstruction and then falls and again rises over a small length of channel. Thus the depth of flow changes rapidly over a short length of the channel. For this short length of the channel the flow is called rapidly varied flow vi (GRADUALLY VARIED. fron, RAPIDLY. ‘VARIED FLOW i 1 I I a (GRiFORnI=— NONUNIFORM FLOW = FLOW Fig. 16.1. Uniform and non-uniform flow. (ii) Gradually Varied Flow (G.V.F.). If the depth of flow in a channel changes gradually over a long length of the channel, the flow is said to be gradually varied flow and is denoted by G.V.F. 16.2.3 Laminar Flow and Turbulent Flow. The flow in open channel is said to be laminar if the Reynold number (R,) is less than 500 or 600, Reynold number in case of open channels is defined as : R= OR (16.2) # where V = Mean velocity of flow of water R = Hydraulic radius or Hydraulic mean depth Cross-section area of flow normal to the directic ~ ‘Wetted perimeter of flow P and = Density and viscosity of water. If the Reynold number is more than 2000, the flow is said to be turbulent in open channel flow. If R, lies between 500 to 2000, the flow is considered to be in transition state. 16.2.4 Sub-critical, Critical and Super Critical Flow. The flow in open channel is said to be sub-critical if the Froude number (F,) is less than 1.0. The Froude number is defined as : (16.3) [ Flow in Open Channels 739] where V = Mean velocity of flow D = Hydraulic depth of channel and is equal to the ratio of wetted area to the top width of channel ‘The flow is called critical if F, = 1.0. And if F, > 1.0, the flow is called super critical or shooting or rapid or torrential, » 16.3 DISCHARGE THROUGH OPEN CHANNEL BY CHEZY'S FORMULA Consider uniform flow of water in a channel as shown in Fig. 16.2. As the flow is uniform, it ‘means the velocity, depth of flow and area of flow will be constant for a given length of the channel. Consider sections 1-1 and 2-2. ig.16.2 Uniform flow in open channel. Let L= Length of channel, A= Area of flow of water, i= Slope of the bed, V = Mean velocity of flow of water, P = Wetted perimeter of the cross-section, J = Frictional resistance per unit velocity per unit area, The weight of water between sections 1-1 and 2-2. W= Specific weight of water volume of water wxAXL Component of W along direction of flow = W x sin = wAL sin i @ Frictional resistance against motion of water = f x surface area x (velocity )* ‘The value of n is found experimentally equal to 2 and surface area = P x L. Frictional resistance against motion = x P x Lx V2 ii) The forces acting on the water between sections 1-1 and 2-2 are: 1. Component of weight of water along the direction of flow, 2. Friction resistance against flow of water, 3. Pressure force at section 1-1, 4.

Ans. » 16.6 NON-UNIFORM FLOW THROUGH OPEN CHANNELS We have defined uniform flow and non-uniform flow in Art. 16.2.2. A flow is said to be uniform if the velocity of flow, depth of flow, slope of the bed of the channel and area of cross-section remain constant for a given length of the channel. On the other hand, if velocity of flow, depth of flow, area of cross-section and slope of the bed of channel do not remain constant for a given length of pipe, the flow is said to be non-uniform. Non-uniform is further divided into Rapidly Varied Flow (R.V.F.), and Gradually Varied Flow (G.V.F.) depending upon the change of depth of flow over the length of the channel. If the depth of flow changes abruptly over a small length of the channel, the flow is said as rapidly varied flow. And if the depth of flow in a channel changes gradually over a long length of channel, the flow is said to be gradually varied flow. » 16.7 SPECIFIC ENERGY AND SPECIFIC ENERGY CURVE ‘The total energy of a flowing liquid per unit weight is given by, 2 Tos Ears sone 5 where z= Height of the bottom of channel above datum, i= Depth of liquid, and V = Mean velocity of flow.
