 Waterflows in a river. At 8 am the
flow past bridge 1 is 2150 cfs. At
the same instant the flow past
bridge 2 is 1800 cfs. At what rate
is water being stored in the river
between the two bridges at this
instant? Assume zero seepage
and negligible evaporation.

 True 1D flow – velocity same at all
points
 1D flow term applies between
boundaries that are really three
dimensional
 One dimension taken along the
central streamline of the flow
 Average velocity, pressure and
elevation 25
 High accuracy – modifications to
incorporate variations across the
flow section.

26
 Relative velocity between fluid and
body
 No difference between if i) body is
at rest and fluids flows over it or
ii) fluid is at rest and body passes
through it

A two dimensional flow field is
given by u=2y and ν=x.
a) Derive general expression for
velocity
b) Derive general expression for
acceleration
c) Find the acceleration in the flow
field at point A (x=3.5, y=1.2)

A flow is defined by u=2(1+t),
ν=3(1+t), w=4(1+t).
a) What is the velocity of flow at
the point (3,2,4) at t=2?
b) What is the acceleration at that
point at t=2?
