2Basic principles of fluid motion
- I. Continuity equationv ? A constant ? v1A1
v2A2 - II. Bernoullis principle states that as the
speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure
within the fluid decreases.
v1
3Blowing air over the top of the tube lowers
the air pressure on that side allowing the fluid
to rise
4Bernoullis principle
- fast flow ? low pressure
- slow flow ? high pressure
5Why does a roof blow off in high winds ?
WIND
Low Pressure
Normal Pressure
6Wind tunnel visualization of air flow
streamlines
7Streamlines and fluid flow
- The black lines are the paths that the fluid
takes as it flows. - Wider spacing indicates low speed flow, narrow
spacing indicates high speed flow - Color indicates pressure
High
Low pressure
pressure
8Bernoullis Principle
- Fluid flow velocity v
- Fluid pressure P
- ? where v is high, P is low
- ? where v is low, P is high
9Frames of reference
- From the perspective of the jet, the air moves
relative to the jet -
- The jet moves through the air

10Streamlines around a wing
11Flow over an airplane wing
12Control surfaces on a plane
- By extending the slats, the wing area can be
increased to generate more lift at low speeds for
takeoff and landing
13How does a plane turn?
Lift Force
Level Flight
Banked turn
14Airflow around a baseball that is NOT spinning
- The ball is moving but from the balls
perspective the air moves relative to the ball - The streamlines are bunched at the top and bottom
indicating higher flow speed - The pressure forces are balanced
15Curveballs
The ball is rotating clockwise. The layer of air
adjacent to the ball is dragged along by the
rotation, causing the flow speed to be higher on
the top side. The higher pressure on the
bottom causes the ball to curve upward.
High speed, Low P
the lift on a rotating body moving through a
fluid is called the MAGNUS FORCE
low speed, high P
16Curveballs Screwballs
the dimples on a golf ball are there to increase
the air drag on the rotating ball (back spin)
causing it to experience extra lift.
17Viscosity
- so far we have considered only ideal liquids ?
liquids that can flow without any resistance to
the flow - real liquids (like ketchup) have a property
called viscosity which is a tendency for the
liquid to resist flowing
18viscosity
- for example pancake syrup flows more slowly
than water we say that pancake syrup is more
viscous than water. - Ketchup and molasses are also good examples
- viscosity is sometimes referred to as the
thickness of a liquid - viscosity is the most important property of motor
oil
19Seeing the effects of viscosity
Pancake syrup
Substances with higher viscosity take longer
to flow down the ramp.
viscosity is a measure of the resistance that
one layer of liquid experiences when flowing over
another layer.
20Viscosities of various substances
- water has a viscosity of about 1 unit
- pancake syrup has a viscosity of 2500
- ketchup has a viscosity of 98,000
- Lava- 100,000
- peanut butter has a viscosity of 250,000
- glass is a liquid with a very high viscosity of
1017 ? it does flow, but very slowly! - viscosity depends on temperature ? warm syrup
flows faster than cold syrup
21Motor Oil
- SAE Society of American Engineers
- the viscosity of oil tends to decrease as it
heats up (oil breakdown) - what does 10W-30 mean?
viscosity index- hot engine
viscosity index- cold engine
A higher viscosity index indicates the viscosity
changes less with temperature than a lower
viscosity index.
22Measuring viscosity
ball bearings
low viscosity Liquid (e. g. water)
high viscosity Liquid (e.g. syrup)
23Flow through a pipe
big effect!
? (eta) is the fluids viscosity
- A 10 reduction in diameter reduces the flow
by 34 - If D ? D/2, the flow is reduced by 94
24Blood flow in arteries
A pipe clogged With calcium deposits
25SURFACE TENSION
a surface tension force causes a fluid surface to
behave like an elastic sheet
Molecules at the surface feel a net force
