In many practical situations, viscous forces
are much smaller that those due to gravity
and pressure gradients over large regions of
the flow field.We can ignore viscosity to a
good approximation and derive an equation
for energy conservation in a fluid known as
Bernoulli’s equation. For steady flow,
Bernoulli’s equation is of the form;

A Pitot tube is a device for measuring the velocity in a fluid.
Essentially, it consists of two tubes, (a) and (b). Each tube
has one end open to the fluid and one end connected to a
pressure gauge.Tube (a) has the open end facing the flow
and tube (b) has the open end normal to the flow. In the
case when the gauge (a) reads p = po+½pU2 and gauge (b)
reads p = po, derive an expression for the velocity of the
fluid in terms of the difference in pressure between the
gauges.

The velocity in a flow stream varies
considerably over the cross-section.A pitot
tube only measures at one particular point,

To appreciate energy conversion such as hydro, wave, tidal and wind power a detailed knowledge of fluid mechanics is essential.\n\nDuring the course of this lecture, a brief summary of the basic physical properties of fluids is provided and the conservation laws of mass and energy for an ideal (or inviscid) fluid are derived.\n\nThe application of the conservation laws to situations of practical interest are also explored to illustrate how useful information about the flow can be derived. \n\nFinally, the effect of viscosity on the motion of a fluid around an immersed body (such as a turbine blade) and how the flow determines the forces acting on the body of interest. \n
Density - Mass per unit volume of a fluid. For the purposes of this module, Density is assumed to be constant i.e. that the flow of the fluid is incompressible (small variations in pressure arising from fluid motion in comparison to atmospheric pressure).\n\nPressure - Force per unit area, and acts in the normal direction to the surface of a body in a fluid. Its units are the pascal or N-m^2\n\nViscosity - Force per unit area due to internal friction in a fluid arising from the relative motion between neighbouring elements in a fluid. Viscous forces act in the tangential direction to the surface of a body immersed in a flow. (consider a deck of cards.\n
A useful concept to visualize a velocity field is to imagine a set of streamlines para;;e; to the direction of motion at all points in the fluid. Any element of mass in the fluid flows along a notational stream-tube bounded by neighbouring streamlines. In practice, streamlines can be visualised by injecting small particles into the fluid e.g. smoke can be used in wind tunnels to visualise fluid flow around objects.\n
Also known as conservation of mass.\n\nConsider flow along a stream tube in a steady velocity field. The direction of flow is parallel to the boundries and at any point within the stream tube, the speed of the fluid (u) and the cross-sectional area (A). Therefore the fluid is confined to the stream tube and the mass flow per second is constant. Therefore: \n\nDensity * Velocity * Cross-sectional Area = Constant\n\nTherefore the speed of fluid is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the stream tube.\n

Consider a liquid at a pressure p, moving with a velocity (u) at a height Z above datum level\n\nIf a tube were inserted in the top of the pipe, the liquid would rise up the tube a distance of p/ρg and this is equivalent to an additional height of liquid relative to datum level.\n\nEtotal equation represents the specific energy of the liquid. Each of the quantities in the brackets have the units of length and are termed heads, i.e Z is referred to as the potential head of the liquid, p/ρg as the pressure head and V2/2g as the velocity head. \n\n
For a stationary fluid, u = 0 everywhere in the fluid therefore this equation reduces to \nwhich is the equation for hydrostatic pressure. It shows that the fluid at a given depth is all the same at the same pressure. \n
Consider the steady flow of an ideal fluid in the control volume shown. \nThe height (z), cross sectional area (A), speed (u) and pressure are denoted.\nThe increase in gravitational potential energy of a mass δm of fluid between z1 and z2 is δmg(z2-z1)\nIn a short time interval (δt) the mass of fluid entering the control volume at P1 is δm=ρu1A1δt and the mass exiting at P2 is δm=ρu2A2δt\n
In order for the fluid to enter the control volume it has to do work to overcome the pressure p1 exerted by the fluid. The work done in pushing the elemental mass δm a small distance δs = uδt \nat P1 is δW1= Pressure * Area * Distance moved = Pressure * Area * Velocity * Change in time. Remember F = P*A\n\nSimilarly, the work done in pushing the elemental mass out of the control volume at P2 is δW2=-p2A2u2δt.\n\nThe net work done is δW1+δW2\n

Let us consider a simple case of laminar flow between two parallel plates separated by a small distance d. \n\nThe upper plate moves at a constant velocity U while the lower plate remains at rest. At the plate fluid interface in both cases there is no velocity due to the strong forces of attraction. Therefore the velocity profile in the fluid is given by\n\n\n

A viscous fluid can exhibit two different kinds of flow regimes, Laminar and Turbulent\n\nIn laminar flow, the fluid slides along distinct stream-tubes and tends to be quite stable, Turbulent flow is disorderly and unstable\n\nThe flow that exists in an y given situation depends on the ratio of the inertial force to the viscous force. The magnitude of this ratio is given by Reynolds number, where U is the velocity, L is the length and v = μ/ρ is the kinematic viscosity. Reynolds observed that flows at small Re where laminar while flow at high Re contained regions of turbulence\n
For the inviscid flow the velocity fields in the upstream and downstream regions are symmetrical, therefore the corresponding pressure distribution is symmetrical. It follows that the net force exerted by the fluid on the cylinder is zero. This is an example of d’Alembert’s paradox\n\nFor a body immersed in a viscious fluid, the component of velocity tangential to the surface of the fluid is zero at all points. At large Re numbers (Re>>1), the viscous force is negligible in the bulk of the fluid but us very significant in a viscous boundary layer close to the surface of the body. Rotational components of flow know as vorticity are generated within the boundary layer. As a certain point, the seperation point, the boundary layer becomes detached from the surface and vorticity are discharged into the body of the fluid. The vorticity are transported downstream side of the cylinder in the wake. Therefore the pressure distributions on the upstream and downstream sides of the cylinder are not symmetrical in the case of a viscous fluid. As a result, the cylinder experiences a net force in the direction of motion known as drag. In the case of a spinning cylinder, a force called life arises at right angles to the direction of flow. \n
CL and CD are dimensionless constants know as the coefficient of Lift and the coefficient of Drag respectively.\n\nLift and drag can be changed by altering the shape of a wing i.e. ailerons. For small angles of attack, the pressure distribution ont he upper surface of an aerofoil is significantly lower than that on the lower surface which results is in a net lift force. \n
