Fluid Flow Concepts
Flow Classification,
Ideal Fluid Flow

? Shear stress develops where there is velocity gradient
? Fluid in contact with wall has zero velocity
Pipe Wall

Flow Classification
Laminar Flow
? Occurs at low Reynolds number
? Fluid moves along smooth layers
? Motion governed by Newton’s law of viscosity
Turbulent Flow
? Occurs at high Reynolds number
? Fluid moves along irregular,fluctuating and random
paths
Flow Classification
Rotational (vortex) flow
? Fluid undergoes net rotation about some axis
Irrotational flow
? Fluid has no net rotation,only linear translation
? All ideal fluid flows are irrotational flows
Variation of fluid properties (velocity,pressure,
density,temperature etc)
Temporal Variation,
? Steady flow –Properties at a point not changing with flow
? Unsteady flow – changing with time
Spatial Variation,
? Uniform flow – Properties at an instant do not change with space
? Non-uniform flow – changing from point to point
Four possible flow types,
? Steady uniform flow
? Steady non-uniform flow
? Unsteady uniform flow
? Unsteady non-uniform flow
Flow Classification
One-dimensional flow
? Flow properties are function of time (t) and one space
coordinate (e.g,x)
Two-dimensional flow
? Flow properties are function of time (t) and two space
coordinates (e.g,x,y)

Fluid kinematics
? Under the ‘continuum’ hypothesis,a fluid body is
considered to be made up of infinitesimal fluid ‘particles’
tightly packed together and interact with each other
? Each fluid ‘particle’ contains numerous molecules
? Fluid motion is described in terms of velocity and
acceleration of fluid ‘particles’,and not individual
molecules
Fluid Kinematics
Study of the motion of fluid (position,velocity and acceleration)
without consideration of forces producing the motion
Fluid Dynamics
Analyses of fluid motion in relation to forces producing the motion
Fluid kinematics
System
? A definite mass of matter which distinguishes it from its
surrounding matter
? Has constant mass
? System boundary moves
? Used in Bernoulli’s equation
Control Volume (C.V.)
? Definite region in space enclosed by control surfaces,fixed
relative to observer
? Control Volume boundary is fixed
? Mass can flow in or out of C.V.
? Used in Continuity and Momentum equations
Flow Analyses
Eulerian Method
Fluid motion and properties (pressure,density,velocity
etc) are described as functions of space and time
Lagrangian Method
Follows the motion of individual fluid particles
determines how the fluid properties of the particles
change with time
Flow kinematics
Streamline,
Imaginary line through fluid such that at an instant,
velocity of ever particle on the line is tangent to it
Stream-tube
Imaginary tube formed by all streamlines passing
through a closed curve,No fluid can enter or leave a
stream tube except through its ends
Used in continuity equation
Continuity Equation
For a fixed,non-deforming control volume,
conservation of mass requires the time rate of
change of mass inside the control volume,plus
net rate of mass flow through the control surface
must be zero
For steady flow,time rate of change of mass in
control volume is 0
