Study Notes
Fluid Dynamics
- Study of fluid in motion
- Physical quantities of flow (flow characteristics):
- Velocity (V)
- Pressure (P)
- Density (ρ)
- Temperature (T)
- Acceleration (a)
Lagrangian and Eulerian Systems
- Lagrangian: 𝜑 = 𝜑(t), often used in solid dynamics
- Eulerian: 𝜑 = 𝜑(𝑟, t) = 𝜑(x, y, z, t), often used in fluid dynamics
- Eulerian system is commonly used in fluid dynamics:
- Velocity: V = V(x, y, z, t)
- Pressure: P = P(x, y, z, t)
- Density: ρ = ρ(x, y, z, t)
- Temperature: T = T(x, y, z, t)
- Acceleration: a = a(x, y, z, t)
Governing Equations of Fluid Flow, Heat, and Mass Transfer
- Assumptions:
- Incompressible Newtonian fluid
- Two-dimensional and laminar flow
- Temperature-independent thermo-physical properties, except density in buoyancy force
- Negligible effects of radiation and viscous dissipation
- Governing equations:
- Mass conservation: ∂u/∂x + ∂v/∂y = 0
- Momentum conservation in x and y directions
Test your knowledge about the fundamental concepts of fluid dynamics, including the study of fluid in motion, physical quantities of flow, and the differences between Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches. This quiz is based on the textbook 'Fundamental of Fluid Mechanics' by B.R. Munson, D.F. Young and T.H. Okiishi, 6th Edition, 2009.
