Applications

Lecture 1 Fluid and Its Properties

Learning Objectives:
• Principal concerns of the subject of Fluid
Mechanics
• Distinguishing properties of fluids
• Newton law of viscosity
Two Concerns of Fluid Mechanics
• A fluid applies forces on objects when it moves past them.
• Conversely, we need to apply a force to move an object
through a fluid.

• Fluid motion modifies the rate of transfer of heat or vapour


from a surface.

resisting force is, thus, dependent not on deformation, but
on deformation rates.
Fluids
A fluid does not resist shear force by acquiring an
equilibrium strain, but by acquiring an equilibrium rate of
strain.

A fluid deforms continually under the action of a shear


force, but at a rate determined by the magnitude of the
shear force and the fluid properties.
Fluids
A fluid at rest (or in uniform motion) cannot
sustain any shear force.
Stresses in Fluids in Motion
When a fluid is in motion, there may exist shear stresses as well.

of shear strain:   

Other units: Poise = 10−1 Pa∙s ; centipoise (cp) = 10-3 Pa.s
Viscosity of water at room temperature is 1 cp
Typical Values of Viscosity
Air 0.00185×10-3 Pa.s (0.0185 cp)

Gasoline 0.29×10-3 Pa.s (0.29 cp)

Effect of Viscosity
Penetration depth increases with time.

Action of viscosity is like a process of diffusion.

The viscous action of the fluid resists the motion of


the lower plate. At the steady-state, the fluid
attempts to drag the upper plate to the right.

Non-Newtonian Effects
Rod Climbing
In a Newtonian fluid, inertia would dominate and
the fluid would move to the edges of the
container, away from the rod. Here, however, the
elastic forces generated by the rotation of the
rod (and the consequent stretching of the
polymer chains in solution) result in a positive
normal force - the fluid rises up the rod. The
bulbous shape remaining at the end of the video
is the onset of instability as the mass that has
been forced up the rod relaxes and overcomes
the force pushing from below.
