Introduction
Fluid Mechanics
– Fluid mechanics is the science of the mechanics of liquids and gases
and is based on the same fundamental principle that is employed in the
mechanics of solids.

Statics:
The branch of mechanics that deals with bodies at rest.
Kinetics
• Kinematics:
The branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects
without reference to the forces which cause the motion.
• Dynamics:
The branch that deals with bodies in motion.
Cont.….
Solid & Fluid:
The distinction is that any fluid, no matter, how viscous will yield
in time to the slightest stress. But a solid, no matter how plastic,
requires a certain magnitude of stress to be exerted before it
will flow.
For example: If sand is filled between two parallel plates, we
would require a finite force to cause a continuous motion.
A fluid for which the viscosity does not change with the
rate of deformation is said to be Newtonian fluid.

Capillarity is due to both cohesion and adhesion.
Capillary: Interplay of force of cohesion and
adhesion explain the phenomena of capillary.

minute in a 5.1cm diameter concentric bearing loaded
with a lubricating oil of viscosity 100 centipoise.

Rheological classification of Fluids
The study of the deformation of flowing fluids is called
rheology
Fluid classified as:
Newtonian Fluid: A fluid for which the viscosity does not
change with the rate of deformation is said to be Newtonian
fluid(follow Newton's law of viscosity).
Ex.-Air, water and many other engg. fluids under normal
circumstances, kerosene, gasoline

Non-Newtonian Fluid: The fluid which do not follow
Newton's law of viscosity. Ostwald-de waele relationship.

E is modulus of elasticity
Ex. Liquid-solid combinations in pipe flow and
polymerised fluids with drag reduction features
No slip condition of viscous fluid: Fluid elements adjacent
to surface attain the velocity of surface i.e., the relative
velocity between solid surface and fluid is zero.
Continuum Concept
The mathematical idealization of continuous
distribution of matter. i.e., When the properties of the
matter are considered as continuous function of the
space variables, then the matter is called a
continuum.

Cont.
Disregard the atomic nature of the fluid and view it as
continuous, homogeneous matter with no holes, that
is, a continuum.
A macroscopic point mass can be included in
continuum concept by integration and introducing
concept of centre of mass
For continuum concept microscopic particles are
necessary but unimportant
so in rarefied gases
1 Continuum approach is not valid
