MCL106 : Fluid Mechanics
[edit]Overlaps: APL105, APL106, APL107 Introduction: scope, methods of analysis (system vs. volume), Fluid as a continuum, Eulerian/Lagrangian description, Newton's law of viscosity. Fluid Statics: Hydrostatic force on submerged surfaces, Buoyancy and stability, Fluids in rigid-body motion.Flow kinematics: Flow lines, vorticity and circulation. Integral flow analysis: Reynolds transport theorem, conservation or mass, linear and angular momentum for inertial and accelerating control volumes. conservation of energy, Bernoulli's equation. Differential analysis of fluid motion: Conservation of mass. stream function for 2D incompressible flow, fluid translation, rotation and deformation, conservation of momentum, Navier-Stokes equations, incompressible inviscid flows, potential flow. Dimensional analysis and similitude: Dimensionless groups, scaling, non-dimensionalization. Viscous flows: fully developed laminar and turbulent pipe flows, head loss, boundary layer concept, flow separation, comparison of laminar and turbulent velocity profiles, streamlining and implications. Compressible flow: speed of sound, the Mach cone, stagnation properties. critical conditions, isentropic flows and converging-diverging nozzles.
