Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies fluids (liquids‚ gases‚ and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into 1) fluid statics‚ the study of fluids at rest; 2) fluid kinematics‚ the study of fluids in motion; 3) fluid dynamics‚ the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. Fluid Mechanics Overview Fluid is a substance that is capable of flowing. It has no definite shape of its own. It assumes the shape of its container. Liquids and gases are

Continuum Hypothesis in Fluid Mechanics The macroscopic behavior of fluids makes them appear to be continuous. However‚ when viewed at the microscopic scale fluids cannot be viewed as continuous. The fluid under consideration will have molecules bombarding each other. It is not possible to declare the fluid velocity at a point as there is no guarantee that the fluid molecules are present at that point at a particular instant of time. When we calculate the fluid velocity or density at a point it

DYNAMICS Dynamics-is the degree of loudness or softness of sound. It indicates the particular level of intensity in which a music or sound is to be played. Usually loud and intensified music creates great tension and soft music creates a feeling of calmness and tranquillity. It makes music so expressive that may affect the listener’s mood. Dynamics describe the volume‚ or how loud or soft the music is played; Italian terms for dynamics include forte (loud) and piano (soft). Dynamics signs-are

Think back to the key question. List two different fluids. How are their flow rates different? A3. Water and syrup flow rates are different because water has a high viscosity and syrup has a low viscosity rate. 7.3 Comparing Fluids (pg 157) Answer the questions below Q1. Andre and Kim have two fluids. Andre’s fluid flows much more easily than kim’s fluid.. (a) Which fluid has a faster flow rate? Andre’s (b) which fluid is more viscous? Kim’s Q2. Identify if each is

Characteristics of a Good Hydraulic Fluid Viscosity Viscosity is a measure of a hydraulic fluid’s resistance to flow. It is a hydraulic fluid’s most important characteristic and has a significant impact on the operation of the system. When a hydraulic oil is too thin (low viscosity)‚ it does not seal sufficiently. This leads to leakage and wear of parts. When a hydraulic oil is too thick (high viscosity)‚ the fluid will be more difficult to pump through the system and may reduce operating

point in a fluid has the same magnitude in all directions. (Pressure is a scalar) Variation of Pressure with Depth It will come as no surprise to you that pressure in a fluid at rest does not change in the horizontal direction. This can be shown easily by considering a thin horizontal layer of fluid and doing a force balance in any horizontal direction. However‚ this is not the case in the vertical direction in a gravity field. Pressure in a fluid increases with depth because more fluid rests on
