CHAPTER 3 FLUID DYNAMICS 1, Fluid is a substance that offers no permanent resistance to deforming forces 2, The study of fluids has two parts, statics and dynamics. 3, Fluid statics concentrates on fluids at rest, while fluid dynamics concerns with the fluid in motion. 4, Fluid statics includes atmospheric pressure, liquid pressure, Archimedes” principle and Pascal’s law. &, Motion of fluids is an important application in our daily life; such as river flow, water distribution systems, gas pipelines, aviation (travels in ait) and motion undemeath the surface of water. & The study of the flow of liquid is called hydrodynamics, whereas hydrostatic is the study of liquid at rest Z, This chapter mainly concerns with hydrodynamics, however a section on surface tension and capillarity, which are important concepts of hydrostatic, is included at the end of the chapter 3.1 LAMINAR AND TURBULENT FLOW. & Fluid is either liquid or gas. 2% The volume of a gas depends on pressure and temperature obeying Boyle’s law and ‘Charles’ Lav. 10. The volume of a liquid does not depend on pressure if the temperature is constant. ‘11, The liquid is incompressible (ic, density of liquid is constant for vided that the temperature is kept constant). 12. Inthe flow of fuids, the path or the flow of the fluid particles is called streamline, [Fig 3.1 (a).] 13, Motion of fluids can be classified by two types, Jaminar flow and turbulent flow. sssUre : Laminar Flow If fluid particles are moving steady in smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with no mixing; such a flow is called laminar flow. In this steady laminar flow, strearilines do not cross each Fig 3.1b Laminar flow) other and every fluid particle arriving at a given point has the same velocity. [Figure 310). Turbulent Flow If the flow or path of the fluid particles are irregular, their direction is always changing or whirling; this fluid movement is called turbulent | fig 3.te Turbulent flow flow. In turbulent flow, the speed of the fluid at a point is continuously undergoing changes in both magnitude and direction. (Fig3.1 (c)] 44, Ideal laminar fluid flow considers the following facts. > The fluid is incompressible > The flow has no friction, or friction may by neglected. (Internal fiiction in fluids is called viscosity, and hence, zero viscosity.) > The fluid flow is laminar (steady), and turbulent flow is not taken into account. (For example, sea breeze is a laminar flow and storm is a turbulent flow.) Chapter 3: Exercise 3.1, ROL: Is motor car brake oil compressible or non-compressible?

The equation, Ai v1 =42 v3, is known as equation of continuity for fluid flow. & The larger the area of the pipe, the slower is the speed of the fluid. 9, The smaller the area of the pipe, the faster is the speed of the fluid. 10. The speed of water spraying from a hose increases by making the hose area smaller. ter cercise 3.2 ROL: Why does the river flow faster in passing the defile (narrow river passage)?
