INTRODUCTION TO FLUID FLOWS :

• Fluid Flow is a part of fluid mechanics and deals with


fluid dynamics.
• It involves the motion of a fluid subjected to
unbalanced forces. This motion continues as long as
unbalanced forces are applied.
• The types of flows may be according to the conditions,
under which, the particles of water unite and move.
• Flow may occurred due to :
1. Difference of energy between one point to second
point.
2. Pressure difference between to ends of horizontal
pipe.
3. Difference in datum energy and pressure energy in
case of incline pipes
TYPES OF FLUID FLOWS
1. STEADY FLOW
• A fluid flow is said to be steady, if the fluid characteristics
such as pressure, density, volume, time etc., do not change
with respect to time.
• Example :-
A flow of water through a tap at a constant rate.
2. UNSTEADY FLOW

• A fluid flow is said to be unsteady if the fluid


characteristics such as pressure , density , volume,
temperature, etc. changes with respect to time.
• Example:-
Flow of water when tap is just made open.
3. UNIFORM FLOW

• A flow is said to be uniform if velocity of fluid particles


does not changed with respect to distance .
• Example:
Flow of water in uniform diameter pipe, flow of water
in an open channel.
4. NON- UNIFORM FLOW
• A flow is said to be non uniform if velocity of
fluid particles changes with respect to distance
• Example :-
Flow of water through a converging or diverging
pipe.
5.LAMINAR FLOW
• A flow is said to be Laminar, if fluid particles have
definite path and do not cross each other.
• When the fluid particles move at very low velocity
through uniform diameter pipe the motion of individual
particles are generally along the lines parallel to each
other
• Here Reynolds number is < 2000
• Example : -
Flow of thick oil , Flow of blood in veins
6. TURBULENT FLOW
• A flow is said to be turbulent if fluid particles do not
have a definite path that mix and move in a zigzag
way .
• It is called as flow of high velocity.
• when the fluid particles move at very high velocity the
motion of fluid particles become more random and
complex and flow at such higher rates is referred as
turbulent
• Example:-
Flow of water in river at a time of flood.
7. ROTATIONAL FLOW
• A fluid flow is said to be rotational if the fluid
particles while moving rotate about their own
axes .
• Example:-
Flow of fluid in a rotating tank.
8. IRROTATIONAL FLOW
• A fluid flow is said to be irrotational if the fluid
particles while moving do not rotate about their own
axes.
• Example:-
Flow of fluid in a rectangular was basin at the drain
pipe.
9. COMPRESSIBLE FLOW
• A fluid is said to be compressible if volume and
density changes
• The density of the flow becomes a variable.
• Example :
All gases.
10 . INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW
• A fluid flow is said to be in compressible if volume
and density do not changes.
• A flow in which the material density is constant
within a fluid
• Example:
All liquids.
11.ONE DIAMENSIONAL FLOW:
• When changes in the fluid characteristics such as velocity pressure etc. are considered in actual direction of
flow and changes in other directions are neglected the type of flow is called as one dimensional flow this type
of floor represented by a straight line flow.
12. TWO DIAMENSIONAL FLOW :
• When changes in the fluid characteristics such as velocity pressure etc are considered into directions parallel
to two mutually perpendicular axis the type of flow is called as two dimensional flow.
13.TREE DIAMENSIONAL FLOW :
• When changes in the fluid characteristics such as pressure ,velocity etc. are considered in three directions
parallel to three mutually perpendicular co-ordinate Axis the type of flow is called as three dimensional flow.
