• Viscosity offers to viscous shear resistance (τ = µ du/dy) and opposes the
motion between the layers
• This gives rise to change in velocity between layers i.e. velocity gradient
(du/dy) will appear normal to the flow direction
• Due to the resistance to motion, power is required to maintain flow of real fluids
• Hence, In fluid flow problems, effect of viscosity cannot be neglected
Why this change is appearing?
Laminar and Turbulent Flows
Depending upon the relative magnitudes of the viscous forces and inertia forces, flow can exist in
two types- Laminar Flow and Turbulent Flow
Laminar Flow: All particles move in well defined paths and
individual particles do not cross the paths taken by other particle.
Flow takes place in number of sheets or laminae. This type of flow
is also known as streamline or viscous flow.
Turbulent Flow: Particles move in zig-zag way in a flow field i.e.
the flow is disturbed and inter-mixing of particles takes place.

In this chapter, Our Focus is in laminar flow i.e. viscous effects are dominant and flow is well defined

O. Reynold, a British professor demonstrated that a laminar flow changes to turbulent flow

For general case, transition of flow is function of
• Velocity of fluid (V)
• Diameter of the pipe (V)
• Viscosity of the fluid (𝜇)
• Density of Fluid (ρ)

For a flow in circular pipe,
If Re < 2000, the flow is said to be laminar
If Re > 4000, the flow is said to be turbulent
If 2000 < Re < 4000, in transition from laminar to turbulent
Identifying the type of flow from Reynolds Number
Critical Reynolds Number: It is magnitude of Reynolds Number below
which the flow is definitely laminar.

2. Flow of Viscous Fluid Through a Circular Pipe
Explanation:
• Consider a horizontal circular cross section pipe of radius ‘R’, through which a viscous fluid is flowing
from left to right
• Consider a cylindrical fluid element of radius r, thickness dr and length x sliding inside a cylindrical
fluid element of radius (r + dr).
• Forces acting on element: A pressure forces are acting normal to the faces of element, and shear forces
are acting on the surface

• Shear stress distribution is function of radius of pipe 𝜏 ∝ 𝑟
• Shear stress varies linearly from zero at center of pipe to maximum at the boundary (r = R)
• The negative sign for pressure gradient indicates a decrease in the pressure in the direction of fluid flow.
• As potential and kinetic energies remain constant, the pressure force is the only means to compensate for
the resistance to flow.

3.4 Drop of Pressure Over a Given Length of Pipe:

As the fluid flows through the circular pipe, its pressure reduces along the direction of flow. This
is due to the resistance at the pipe wall that has to be compensated by the pressure energy.
