1. Laminar, transitional and turbulent flow (p461
Fig.8.3) 2. Time dependence of fluid velocity at
a point (p461 Fig. 8.4) 3. Most important
dimensionless parameter for pipe flow
Reynolds number 4. Laminar Flow(?? ??) and
Turbulent Flow(?? ??) - For a sufficiently low
Reynolds number (in a pipe flow and in a wide
channel) a laminar flow results. - At
sufficiently high Reynolds number a turbulent
flow occurs. 5. Critical Reynolds Number(?? ????
?) 1 Role delineating the regimes of laminar
and turbulent flow 2 lower and upper critical
Reynolds number
6- 1gt upper critical(???) Reynolds number
- It is indefinite because the upper limit of
laminar flow is indefinite. - 2gt lower critical(???) Reynolds number
- - a limit below which laminar flow will always
occur - - Below all turbulence entering
the flow from any source will eventually be
damped out by viscosity. - In general it is called .
- 3
Critical Reynolds number is very much a
function of boundary geometry. - 4 Example of
- - for flow in a circular pipes(mean velocity and
diameter) 2,100 - - for flow between parallel walls(mean velocity
and spacing) - 1,000
7 - for flow in a wide open channel(mean velocity
and water depth) 5,000 - for flow
about sphere(approach velocity and diameter)

determined experimentally because of the complex
origins of turbulence. 6. Comparison of Laminar
with Turbulent Flow 1 Agitation of Fluid
Particle 1gt Laminar Flow - irregular
molecular motionlength scale of the order of
the mean free path(??????) of the molecules -
macroscopically a well-ordered flow (fluid
particles are constrained to motion in
essentially parallel paths by the action of
viscosity)
82gt Turbulent Flow - rapid and continuous
macroscopic mixing of the flowing fluid with
length scales which are very much greater than
the molecular scales in laminar flow -
macroscopically a disordered flow (fluid
particles do not remain in layers, but move in a
heterogeneous fashion through the flow, sliding
past other particles and colliding with some in
an entirely haphazard manner) 2 Stability
against Disturbances(??, ??) 1gt Laminar Flow
stable against disturbance If the laminar
flow is disturbed by wall roughness(????) or some
other obstacles, the disturbances are rapidly
damped by viscous action, and downstream the flow
is smooth again. 2gt Turbulent Flow unstable

11Osborne Reynolds was a mathematics graduate of
Cambridge in 1867 and became the first professor
of engineering in Manchester in 1868. He held
this post until he retired in 1905. He became a
Fellow of the Royal Society in 1877 and, 11 years
later, won their Royal Medal. His early work was
on magnetism and electricity but he soon
concentrated on hydraulics and hydrodynamics. In
1886 he formulated a theory of lubrication and
three years later he developed the standard
mathematical framework used in the study of
turbulence. The 'Reynolds number' used in
modelling fluid flow is named after him.

194. Developing Flow
208.1.3 Pressure and Shear Stress
- 1. Driving Forces in Fully Developed Flow in a
Constant Diameter Pipe - - inclined pipe flow gravity force, pressure
force - - horizontal pipe flow pressure force
- i.e. pressure difference
- 2. Viscous Effects
- - Viscous effects provide the restraining force
that exactly balances the pressure force, thereby
allowing the fluid to flow through the pipe with
no acceleration. - If viscous effects were absent in such flows, the
pressure would be constant throughout the pipe,
except for the hydrostatic variation which is
negligible. - - The fact that there is a nonzero pressure
gradient along the horizontal pipe is a result of
viscous effects. If the viscosity were zero, the
pressure would not vary with x.
213. Pressure Distribution along a Horizontal
Pipe(see p465 Fig. 8.6) In non-fully developed
flow region Such as the entrance region of a
pipe, the fluid accelerates or decelerates as it
flows (the velocity profile changes from a
uniform profile at the entrance of the pipe to
its fully developed profile at the end of the
entrance region). Thus, in the entrance region
there is a balance between pressure, viscous, and
inertia(acceleration) forces. in the
entrance region gt in the fully developed
region 4. Need for the Pressure Drop viewed
from 2 Different Standpoints 1 Force Balance
In terms of force balance, the pressure force
is needed to overcome the viscous forces
generated.
22- 2 Energy Balance
- In terms of an energy balance, the work done by
the pressure force is needed to overcome the
viscous dissipation of energy throughout the
fluid. - 5. Nature of the Pipe Flow Laminar Flow,
Turbulent Flow - - The nature of the pipe flow is strongly
dependent on whether the flow is laminar or
turbulent. - - This is a direct consequence of the
differences in the nature of shear stress in
laminar and turbulent flows. - The shear stress in laminar flow is a direct
result of momentum transfer among the randomly
moving molecules (a microscopic phenomenon). - The shear stress in turbulent flow is largely a
result of momentum transfer among the randomly
moving, finite-sized bundles of fluid particles
(a macroscopic phenomenon).

- kinetic energy coefficient
(compensate for the fact that the velocity
profile across the pipe is not uniform) - - For uniform velocity profile , whereas
for any nonuniform profile, . - - The head loss term accounts for any energy
loss associated with the flow. This loss is a
direct consequence of the viscous dissipation
that occurs throughout the fluid in the pipe. - - For the ideal (inviscid) cases,
and the energy equation reduces to the
familiar Bernoulli equation (Eq. 3.7).
362. Head Loss for Fully Developed Flow - Fully
developed flow, the velocity profile does not
change, so , energy
equation becomes The energy dissipated by
the viscous forces within the fluid is supplied
by the excess work done by the pressure and
gravity forces. - from
It is the shear stress at the wall (which is
directly related to the viscosity and the shear
stress throughout the fluid) that is responsible
for the head loss.

408.3.1 Transition from Laminar to Turbulent Flow
8.3 Fully Developed Turbulent Flow 1.
Characteristics of Turbulent Flow 1
Irregularity (or randomness in time and space)
disordered (chaotic) motion, unsteady motion,
unstable motion 2 Diffusivity (or rapid mixing)
1gt The diffusivity of turbulence causes rapid
mixing and implies high rates (compared to
laminar flow) of momentum and heat transfer
through the flow. 2gt If a flow pattern looks
random but does not exhibit spreading of velocity
fluctuation through the surrounding fluid, it is
surely not turbulent.
413 High Reynolds Number 1gt Turbulence often
originates as an instability of laminar flows if
the becomes too large. 2gt The instability
are related to the interaction of viscous terms
and nonlinear inertia terms in the equation of
motion. 4 3-Dimensional Vorticity Fluctuation
1gt Turbulence is rotational and 3-dimensional.
2gt Turbulence is characterized by high levels of
fluctuating vorticity, so vorticity dynamics
plays an essential role in the description of
turbulent flows. 5 Dissipation of the kinetic
energy of the turbulence by viscous shear
stresses. 1gt Turbulent flows are always
dissipative. 2gt Viscous shear stresses perform
deformation work which
42increases the internal energy of the fluid at the
expense of kinetic energy of turbulence. 3gt
Turbulence needs a continuous supply of energy to
make up for these viscous losses. If no energy is
supplied, turbulence decays rapidly. 6
Turbulence is a continuum phenomenon even at the
smallest scale. 1gt Turbulence is a continuum
phenomenon, governed by the equations of fluid
mechanics. 2gt Even the smallest scales occurring
in a turbulent flow are ordinarily far larger
than any molecular length scale. 7 Turbulence is
a feature of fluid flows, not a property of the
fluids themselves. Most of the dynamics of
turbulence is the same in all fluids, whether
they are liquids or gases.
432. Transition from laminar to turbulent flow in a
pipe (see p477 Fig. 8.11) 1. Occurrence of
Turbulent Flow Most flows encountered in
practical applications are turbulent flows.
Turbulent flow is assumed to occur whenever the

51 Prandtl was born in Freising, Germany, in
1875. He studied mechanical engineering in
Munich. For his doctoral thesis he worked on a
problem on elasticity under August Foppl, who
himself did pioneering work in bringing together
applied and theoretical mechanics. Later Prandtl
became Foppl's son-in-law, following the good
German academic tradition in those days. In 1901
he became professor of mechanics at the
University of Hanover, where he continued his
earlier efforts to provide a sound theoretical
basis for fluid mechanics. The famous
mathematician Felix Klein, who stressed the use
of mathematics in engineering education, became
interested in Prandtl and enticed him to come to
the University
Ludwig Prandtl (1875-1953)
52of Gottingen. He served as a professor of applied
mechanics at Gottingen from 1904 to 1953 the
quiet university town of Gottingen became an
international center of aerodynamic research..
In 1904 Prandtl conceived the idea of boundary
layer, which adjoins the surface of a body moving
through a fluid. It is perhaps the greatest
single discovery in the history of fluid
mechanics. He showed that frictional effects in a
slightly viscous fluid are confined to a thin
layer near the surface of the body the rest of
the flow can be considered inviscid. The idea led
to a rational way of simplifying the equations of
motions in the different regions of the flow
field. Since then the boundary layer technique
has been generalized and has become a most useful
tool in many branches of science. He made
notable innovations in the design of wind tunnels
and other aerodynamics equipment. His advocasy of
monoplanes greatly advanced the heavier-than-air
aviation. In experimental fluid mechanics he
designed the pitot-static tube for measuring
velocity. In turbulence theory he contributed the
mixing length theory. Toward to end of his career
Prandtl became interested in dynamic meteorology
and published a paper generalizing the Ekman
spiral for turbulent flows.
53 Prandtl was endowed with rare vision for
understanding physical phenomena. His mastery of
of mathematical tricks was limited indeed many
of his collaborators were better mathematician.
However, Prandtl had an unusual ability in
putting ideas in simple mathematical forms. In
1948 Prandtl published a simple and popular
textbook on fluid mechanics, which has been
referred to in several place here. His varied
interest and simplicity of analysis is evident
throughout this book. Prandtl died in Gottingen
in 1953.

Reynolds) stress, and the random, eddying nature

60Boussinesq, Valentin Joseph (1842-1929)
French physicist and mathematician who received
his Ph.D. in 1867. He was professor of
differential and integral calculus at the Faculty
of Sciences of Lille (1872-86), and professor of
physics and mechanics at Sorbonne, Paris (1886).
He was a member of the French Académie des
Sciences (1886), the teacher of mathematics at
Agde, Le Vigan, and Gap (1866-1872), and retired
in 1918.
Boussinesq made important contributions to all
branches of mathematical physics, except that of
electromagnetism. His work on hydraulics was
considerable. He studied whirlpools, liquid
waves, the flow of fluids, the mechanics of
pulverulent masses, the resistance of a fluid
against a solid body, and the cooling effect of a
liquid flow. His contributions to the study of
turbulence were praised by Saint Venant, and
those on theory of elasticity by Love.
61Although he approached mathematics only in order
to apply it practically, he still made important
contributions. Notably, in 1880 he came upon
nonanalytic integrals of hydrodynamic equations.
Boussinesq left a considerable body of work,
carefully quoted in Poggendorff volumes III to
VI.

innovations in the field of hydraulic machinery

independent of relative roughness. - For very large Reynolds numbers, ,
which is independent of the Reynolds number. For
such flows, commonly termed completely turbulent
flow (or wholly turbulent flow), the laminar
sublayer is so thin (its thickness decreases with
increasing Re) that the surface roughness
completely dominate the character of the flow
near the wall. - For flows with moderate values of Re, the
friction factor is indeed dependent on both the
Reynolds number and relative roughness
67- The gap in the figure for which no values of

a result of the fact that the flow in this
transition range may be laminar or turbulent (or
an unsteady mix for both) depending on the
specific circumstance involved. - The Moody
chart is universally valid for all steady, fully
developed, incompressible pipe flows.

engineer who first derived the equation (now
known as Darcys law) that governs the laminar
(nonturbulent) flow of fluids in homogeneous,
porous media. In 1856, modern studies of
groundwater began when Darcy was commissioned to
develop a water-purification system for the city
of Dijon, France. He constructed the first
experimental apparatus to study the flow
characteristics of water through the earth. From
his experiments, he derived the Darcy's Law
equation, describing the flow of water in nature,
which is fundamental to understanding groundwater
systems. He performed extensive tests on
filtration and pipe resistance. He initiated the
open-channel studies carried out by Bazin

758.4.2 Minor Losses
1. Definition Most pipe systems consist of
considerably more than straight pipes. These
additional components (valves, bends, tees, and
the like) add to the overall head loss of the
system. Such losses are generally termed minor
losses, with the apparent implication being that
the majority of the system loss is associated
with the friction in the straight portions of the
pipes, the major losses. 2. Loss Coefficient

- - Many pipe systems contain various transition
sections in which the pipe diameter changes from
one size to another. - Any change in flow area contributes losses that
