FLUID MECHANICS STUDIES
Categories of fluid dynamics studies

Branch of science that deals with the behavior of fluids at

rest or in motion and its interactions at the boundaries. Hydrodynamics
Motion of incompressible
Fluid dynamics fluids (water or gases at
01 low speeds)
Static fluid :
Hydrostatic pressure
Hydraulics
Liquid flows in pipes
and open channels.
The scope of KIL1006 (Fluid Mechanics I) covers the 02 Gas dynamics
static fluid, fluid dynamics concepts and hydraulics. Fluid flows with significant
density changes – gases
through nozzles at high
03 speed.
The scope of KIL3002 (Fluid Mechanics II) covers
hydrodynamics in details. Aerodynamics
Flow of gases (air) across
bodies such as aircraft and
automobiles at high or low 04
speeds.

Normal and Shear Stress

Shear stress, 𝜏 = F/A

Shear stress only occurs when the fluid is in motion.
When the fluid is at rest, the normal stress is called Force, F

pressure and the fluid is at the state of zero shear

stress.
FLUID CONCEPTS
Notes

KIL1006 will be dealing only with fluid that

Which substances are considered as fluid? can be clearly distinguished as liquid and gas.

Distinction of fluid can be made based on the substance’s ability

to resist an applied shear stress that tends to cause deformation.
Kinetic energy

‘‘A fluid deforms continuously and permanently under

Resist
the influence of a shear stress of any magnitude’’. deformations

Intermolecular
Substance in the liquid or gas phase is referred as fluid. They bond
deforms continuously under the influence of shear stress due to
the weaker intermolecular bond between the molecules.

Some solids have elastic properties that allows them to deform to

a certain extent (based on its elasticity). However, when the shear
stress is removed, elastic object will revert to their initial shape.
Hence, they are not considered as fluid.
