This chapter includes the study of forces causing fluid flow. Thus dynamics of fluid flow is the study of fluid motion with the forces causing flow. The dynamic behaviour of the fluid flow is analysed by the Newton's second law of motion, which relates the acceleration with the forces. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and non-viscous. » 6.2 EQUATIONS OF MOTION According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force F, acting on a fluid element in the dircetion of xis equal 10 mass m of the fluid element multiplied by the acceleration a, inthe x-direction. ‘Thus mathematically, Fema, 6.1) In the fluid flow, the following forces are present : (Fy gravity force.
