Fluids: Introduction

Fluids: Introduction
1. Stress vs. Strain (Shear and Normal)
2. No-slip condition
2. Differences between Solids and Fluids (reaction to shear)
3. Types of Flow
• Laminar vs. Turbulent
• Steady vs. Unsteady
• Internal vs. External
• Compressible vs. Incompressible
• Viscous vs. Inviscid
Shear stress = force acting tangent to the surface divided
by the area over it acts.

Shear strain = ratio (dimensionless)of the

displacement (angular displacement) to the transverse
dimension.

Shear stress is proportional to shear strain when the

forces is small enough, that Hooke’s law is obeyed.

When a constant shear force is applied, a solid eventually stops deforming at some fixed strain angle.
When a constant shear force is applied, a solid eventually stops deforming at some fixed strain angle,
whereas a fluid never stops deforming and approaches a constant rate of strain.
The highly ordered fluid motion characterized by smooth layers of fluid is called
laminar.

The highly disordered fluid motion that typically occurs at high velocities and is characterized by
velocity fluctuations is called turbulent.

Steady implies no change of properties, velocity, temperature, etc., at a point with time.

The term uniform implies no change with location over a specified region.
Conditions do not change with position in the stream or with time.
Conditions change from point to point in the stream but do not change with time.
At a given instant in time the conditions at every point are the same, but will change with time.
Every condition of the flow may change from point to point and with time at every point.
 The volume of every portion of fluid remains unchanged over the course of its motion when the flow is
approximated as incompressible.

A pressure of 210 atm, for example, causes the density of liquid water at 1 atm to change by just 1 percent. Hence,
liquids are generally approximated as incompressible.
 The fluid flow is an internal flow when it is completely bounded by
solid surfaces.

The fluid flow is an external flow when it is completely unbounded by

solid surfaces.
 boundary layer

Flows in which the frictional effects are significant are called viscous flows.

There are regions (typically regions not close to solid surfaces) where viscous forces are negligibly small
compared to inertial or pressure forces. Such flow is called inviscid flow.
A fluid is defined as a sub- stance that deforms continuously when acted on by a shearing stress of any
magnitude. It includes the phases liquids, and gases.

blade will sink. Assume that the surface tension forces act at an angle 2 relative to the water surface as shown in the figure.

sinks. Support your answer with the necessary calculations.

speed of the object, such as an airplane or projectile, and c is the speed of sound in the fluid surrounding the object. For a

If the lid on a completely liquid-filled, closed container is raised
(without letting any air in), a pressure will develop in the space as a
result of the vapor that is formed by the escaping molecules.
When an equilibrium condition is reached so that the number of
molecules leaving the surface is equal to the number entering, the
vapor is said to be saturated and the pressure the vapor exerts on the
liquid surface is termed the vapor pressure, py.
