OBJECTIVE

This course aims to develop an understanding of fluids' behaviour in motion or at

rest and the subsequent effects of the fluids on the boundaries. The study of

this subject will develop analytical abilities related to fluid flow.

Topics to be covered..

Fluid Properties and Fluid Statics: Concept of fluid and flow, ideal and real

fluids, continuum concept, properties of fluids, Newtonian and non-Newtonian

fluids. Pascal's law, hydrostatic equation, hydrostatic forces on a submerged

plane and curved surfaces, stability of floating bodies, relative equilibrium.


Fluid Kinematics: Eulerian and Lagrangian description of fluid flow; types of

flows, flow rate, stream, streak and path lines; Concept of system and control

volume, and continuity equation, Reynolds transport theorem, Differential

equation of continuity in cylindrical and polar coordinates, rotation, vorticity and

circulation, potential flow, stream and potential functions, flow net.

Mid Examination
Viscous Flow: Flow regimes and Reynold's number, Relationship between shear

stress and pressure gradient, uni-directional flow between stationary and moving

parallel plates.

Fluid Dynamics: Euler's equation, Stoke's equation, Bernoulli's equation, kinetic

and momentum correction factors, Impulse momentum relationship and its

applications.

Flow Through Pipes: Major and minor losses in pipes, Hagen-Poiseuilli law,

hydraulic gradient and total energy lines, series and parallel connection of pipes,

branched pipes; equivalent pipe, power transmission through pipes, pipe fittings

and valves.

Dimensional Analysis and Hydraulic Similitude: Dimensional analysis

Buckingham's Pi theorem, important dimensionless numbers and their

significance, geometric, kinematics and dynamic similarity, model studies.

Boundary Layer Flow: Boundary layer concept, displacement, momentum and

energy thickness, laminar and turbulent boundary layer flows, Drag force and

drag coefficient ,drag on a flat plate, boundary layer separation and control.
