Fluids viualization is the arts of making flow pattern visible.
Most fluids ( air,water,ect.) are transparent, thus their flow pattern
are invisible to the naked eye without methods to make them this
visible.
Historically, such methods included experimental methods.
With he development ofcomputer model and CFD simulating flow
process (e.g. the distribution of aif-conditioned air in a new car),
purely computational methods have been development.
The flow in which the density (p) of the fluid changes from point to point.
Flow of gases through orifices, nozzles, gas, and turbines
INCOMPRESIBLE
Its type of flow in which density is constant for the fluid flow.
Liquids are generally considered flowing incompressibly, for example
subsonic aerodynamics.
UNIFORM FLOW
Flow of a fluid in which each particle moves along its line
of flow with constant speed and in which the cross section
of each stream tube remains unchanged.
There will be no spatial distribution of hydrodynamic and
other parameters.
Steadiness of flow and uniformly of flow does not
necessarily go together.
STEADY FLOW
A flow in which the velocity of the fluid at a particular
fixed point does not change with time called also
stationary flow.
Steady flow is present only in laminar flow.
In turbulent flow, there are continual fluctuations in
velocity.
ONE DIMENSIONAL FLOW
This is the type of flow in which the flow parameter such as velocity is a
function of time and one space coordinate only.
Example; flow in a pipe where average flow parameters are
considered for analysis.
TWO DIMENSIONAL FLOW
The flow in which the velocity is a function of time and two
rectangular space coordinates x and y is called two dimensional
flow.
Example; flow between parallel plates of infinite extent.
THREE DIMENSIONAL FLOW
Is that type of flow in which the velocity is a funtion of time and three
mutually perpendicular direction. (coordinate x,y,z)
Example; flow in a converging or diverging pipe or channel.
CLOSED SYSTEM
Closed system are often used to limit the factors that can
affect the results of specific problem.
OPENED SYSTEM
System that has external interactions.
Its also known as a constant volume system or a flow system.
Concept of this system was formalized within a framework
that enabled one to interrelate the theory of the organism
thermodynamics and evolution theory.
This concept was expanded upon with the advent of
information theory and subsequently system theory.
