Introduction

• Vortex ring – complex, three-dimensional

structure of smoke ring indicated in cross-
sectional view.

Learning Objectives

 Discuss the differences between the Eulerian and Lagrangian

descriptions of fluid motion.
 Identify various flow characteristics based on the velocity field.
 Determine the streamline pattern and acceleration field given a velocity
field.
 Discuss the differences between a system and control volume.
 Apply the Reynolds transport theorem and the material derivative.

 RM-896: Research Methodologies
Introduction

• Discuss various aspects of fluid motion – without concerns actual

forces required.
• Consider kinematics of motion – velocity and acceleration of its
motion (description and visualization)
• Discuss the analysis of specific forces necessary to produce
motion.
• Fluid kinematics – how to describe and observe fluid motion.

Flow

• Fluid motion is quite complicated – various concepts can be used

to visualize and analysis of flow fields.
• Streamline – analytical work
• Streakline, pathline - experimental work
• Streamline – a line tangent to velocity field (everywhere)
• Streamline – obtained analytically by integrating equations
defining lines tangent to velocity field.

• Streakline – consists of all particles in a flow previously passed

through a common point.
• Pathline – line traced out by a given particle as it flow from one
point to another.

Flow

• Fluid’s behavior governed by fundamental physical

laws.
• System – a collection of matter of fixed identity
(always the same atoms or fluid particles.
• Control volume – volume in space (geometric entity,
independent of mass) through which fluid may flow.
