Study Notes
Fluid Dynamics
- A fluid is a substance that can flow.
- Its shape is governed by the shape of its container.
- Viscosity is the resistance to flow of a fluid.
- Higher viscosity, higher resistance to flow.
- Drag force - retarding force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
- Terminal velocity - maximum velocity reached by an object falling through a fluid.
- Streamline flow - fluid flows along identical paths.
- Turbulent flow - fluid flows with irregular, whirlpool-like regions.
- Equation of Continuity - volume flow rate is constant in a pipe of varying cross-section.
- Bernoulli's Equation - a balance of kinetic energy, pressure, and gravitational potential energy. P + ½pv² + pgh = constant
- P is pressure, p is density, v is velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
