PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
Fluid Mechanics is an important subject which has been given equal weightage in Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, and Aeronautical undergraduate engineering curriculum. It deals with the flow of fluids. This book is designed to explain the fundamentals of fluid mechanics in the areas of properties of fluids, pressure and its measurements, hydrostatic forces, buoyancy, dimensional analysis, hydraulic similitude and model studies, fluid kinematics, fluid dynamics, laminar and turbulent flows, boundary layer analysis, flow through pipes, ideal fluid flow and flow past submerged bodies. Efforts have been made to cover the syllabi of several universities. Based on my teaching experience, I have tried to explain principles and concepts of Fluid Mechanics in simple and clear terms. The endeavour is to present the subject matter in the most comprehensive and useable form. The derivation of fundamental relations has been kept as simple as possible. Diagrams have been used abundantly to elucidate the difficult concepts which cannot be explained effectively. The theory is further supported with illustrations and suitably worked out examples. The book has an easy-to-read style, as it is written in question-answer form that is going to benefit the readers immensely. I express my gratitude to K.K Aggarwal, Chairman, and Dr. A.M. Chandra, Director, Lord Krishna College of Engineering, Ghaziabad for their support and encouragement extended to me during the compilation of this book. I am grateful to my doctoral guide, Dr. Prasad, Galgotia Engineering College, Greater Noida for moral support extended to me. Above all, I wish to record my sincere thanks to my wife, Jasbeer Kaur for her patience shown throughout the preparation of the book.

INTRODUCTION Fluid includes liquid and gaseous state of a matter. In spite of larger mobility and spacing of molecules in a fluid, the fluid is considered to be continuum for mechanical analysis. This assumption is justifiable as the fluid has large number of molecules with small intermolecular distance. Fluid mechanics is that branch of science which deals with the behaviour of fluids at rest and in motion. The study of fluids at rest is called fluid static. The study of fluids in motion due to pressure forces is called fluid dynamics. The study of fluids in motion without pressure forces is called fluid kinematics. A solid can resist tensile, compressive and shear forces upto a certain limit while a fluid has no or negligible tensile strength. A fluid can resist compressive forces only when it is kept in a vessel. A fluid deforms continuously when subjected to a shearing force. The fluid therefore changes shape or it flows as it offers little resistance to shearing stresses. There exists, however, shearing stresses between the adjacent fluid layers which try to oppose the movement of one layer over the another. The magnitude of this shearing stress in a fluid depends on the rate of deformation of the fluid elements. As during rest, the fluid has no deformation resulting in nonpresence of any shearing force when fluid is stationary.

Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
In ordinary conditions, a gas can be compressed easily while a liquid is difficult to be compressed. Hence, liquids are regarded as incompressible. 1. What do you understand by the composition and intermolecular forces in the matters? How does intermolecular force vary? Every matter in nature is made up of molecules. Each molecule has positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons. The molecule is electrically neutral as negative charge in electrons is equal to the positive charges of its nucleus. When two molecules come close to each other, the distribution of charges in them becomes such that the force of attraction between opposite charges (positive charge of nucleus of one molecule and negative charge of electrons of other molecule) becomes greater than the force of repulsion between similar charges (nucleus nucleus and electron electron of one and other molecule). This net force of attraction between the molecules is called intermolecular force. As the distance between molecules increases, the net attractive force between them decreases and vice versa. However at mean distance r0, no net force acts between them. In case distance is decreased below r0, then a repulsive force is generated. 2. The diagram as given below shows a graph of distance (r) between two molecules against the intermolecular potential energy (U). State with proper argument; (i) which point of the graph indicates the equilibrium state of the molecules? (ii) which part of the intermolecular force is attractive?
Intermolecular Potential Energy

D
The equilibrium state of the molecules is at point D because it is a point of minimum potential energy. In portion DBA of the curve, the potential energy increases as r decreases i.e. intermolecular force is repulsive. In portion DEF of the curve, U increases as r increases. 3. What are the different states of a matter? A matter can exist in three states, namely, (1) solid, (2) liquid and (3) gas. The liquid and gas states can be grouped together, which is called fluid state. Spacing of molecules (r0) is large in gas, small in liquid and extremely small in a solid. Hence intermolecular bonding forces are very weak in gas, sufficient in liquid and very strong in a solid. Due to the strong intermolecular forces, a solid is very compact and rigid in form. A liquid has sufficient intermolecular cohesive bonding forces to hold it as a continuous mass but without a shape. This is the reason why a liquid adjusts to the shape of the container. The intermolecular bonding forces are very weak in gases and a gas can fill up the whole of a container as it does not have any definite volume. For a given mass, a solid has definite volume and shape,

a liquid has definite volume while a gas has neither shape nor volume. Solids are incompressible, liquids are slightly compressible and gases are compressible.

No volume, no shape
4. Explain the responses of solids and fluids to external forces. Fluids differ from solids in their responses to external applied forces. Within elastic limit, deformation occurs in solids on the application of shear force and deformation disappears when intermolecular force between molecules restores the molecules to their original position on the removal of the shear force.
B¢
For examples a solid twists when a torque (T) is applied by shear angle f, which disappears on the removal of the torque (T). However, twist behaviour of fluid is completely different. The fluid can sustain only normal forces and deforms continuously when shear force is applied. Fluids do not acquire equilibrium on the application of shear force like solids but it continues to deform as long as the shear force is acting even when it is small. For example, Fixed cylinder
Outer cylinder

Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
if a torque (7) is applied on an external cylinder which is rotatable and separated from the fixed cylinder by a thickness of fluid as shown in the figure, the outer cylinder does not have equilibrium position with the applied torque (7) and the outer cylinder starts picking up velocity from the stationary state. However the outer cylinder will attain an equilibrium velocity depending upon the magnitude of the torque and the properties of the fluid (specially viscosity) separating it from the fixed cylinder. If T is large then the equilibrium velocity will be high and equilibrium velocity will be small when T is made smaller. It is evident from this that the fluid does ( resist the applied torque as external cylinder achieves the equilibrium rate d0 of deformation — or equilibrium velocity. The deformation (0) in fluid unlike solids does dt not disappear when torque (7) is removed. 5. What do you understand from the fluids? Fluid is a substance, which cannot acquire any static equilibrium under the action of any shear force of even a small magnitude. In other words, fluids cannot acquire a static equivalent deformation (0) in order to achieve a equilibrium with the external applied torque. However the fluid resists the applied torque by attaining the constant value of the rate of change of deformation (" 1± /and then the acceleration of fluid becomes zero. Hence a fluid dt is a substance which can (1) attain the shape of the container as it has no definite shape of its own; (2) deform continuously under the action of shear force; (3) attain the equilibrium rate of deformation and in which (4) the deformation does not disappear on the removal of the torque. 6. What is viscosity of a fluid? The property, which characterizes the resistance which a fluid offers to applied shear force is called viscosity. ( The resistance does not depend upon the deformation (0) but on the rate c10 of deformation — . When there is a relative motion between different layers of fluids, dt then there is a tangential friction force in between the layers. Viscosity is less in gases but larger in liquids. 7.

8. What is fluid mechanics? Fluid mechanics is a science in which we study the behaviour of the fluids, which are either in rest or in motion. The study of the fluids under static conditions (fluids at rest) is called fluid statics. For example, the study of water in a dam or other static conditions are done in fluid statics. Aerostatics is the term used for the study of incompressible gases under static conditions. The study of mechanics of fluid in motion is called fluid dynamics. The flows of fluids through pipes and channels due to shear force are studied in fluid dynamics. Force =>

9. What is fluid kinematics? Fluid kinematics deals with the motion (translation and rotation) and deformation of the fluid elements without any consideration to the force or energy which is causing such motion or deformation. Hence kinematics deals with the velocities, accelerations and flow patterns of the fluid. 10. What is fluid kinetics? In fluid kinetics, we study the relationship of the velocities/accelerations developed by the fluid when an external force is applied on the fluid or the forces exerted by the moving fluid with certain velocities / accelerations.

11. What is hydraulics? Hydraulics is a branch of fluid mechanics in which we study the behaviour of water (incompressible) in motion or rest. 12. What is Pneumatics? Pneumatics is a branch of fluid mechanics in which we study the behaviour of compressible fluids, which are in motion or rest. 13. Describe same applications of fluid mechanics. The applications of fluid mechanics are: 1. The design of dams, canals and weirs. A dam is a masonry structure to store water and the main forces acting on a dam is static water pressure (F) against upstream face and the weight of the masonry (W). The resultant of these two forces must pass through the middle third of the base of the dam for its stability. Canals are meant to take water from one place to another by gravitational action. Weir is any angular obstruction in open stream over which the flow takes place.

3. Design of fluid control devices such as hydraulic gates, valves, cocks and taps. These devices are used for controlling the flow of the fluids. A plug cock is a simple device in which the fluid passage is a hole in a rotatable plug, fitted in the body of the cock. In screw down stop valve, the stop has disc with washer to make the actual contact with seat to stop the flow of water. Angle valve also works on the same arrangement. Hydraulic gates are used in dams to allow the water out of the dam by rotating the gate. Hole in plug

by the difference of water level in a stream. The pelton wheel is also based on the principle of the old water wheel. Francis & Kaplan turbines are used where flows and heads are small. The principle of these turbines is that the water is diverted to obtain change of momentum inside the turbine. The diversion takes place at right angles to the direction of entry, causing turbine rotor to rotate. Guide vanes are provided to ensure maximum rotary motion of the turbine rotor. 14.

16. What is continuum? Is air a continuum? Does it always remain so? (UPTU 2002 — 03) A substance is composed of a vast number of molecules. In the concept of continuum, the substance is considered free from any kind of discontinuity. The concept is valid as most engineering systems are concerned with the macroscopic or bulk behaviour of a substance rather than the microscopic or molecular behaviour. Hence in most cases, it is convenient to think of a substance as a continuous distribution of medium or a continuum. As the scale of analysis is large, the discontinuity of the order of intermolecular spacing or the free mean path is negligible The properties such as pressure, temperature and velocity, which are
I4
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
measured at infinitely small points at different places, are considered to vary continuously from one point to another if they are not the same. However, there are certain instances where pressures are low and high accuracy is required (such as rocket propulsion), the concept of continuum cannot be applied.
Molecules
Continuous
Air is considered a continuum in most engineering applications. The atmosphere air has mean free path of about 5 to 7.5 x 10-6 cm. The molecular spacing of air increases under low pressures and this large spacing between the molecules cannot be neglected. In that case, the concept of continuum cannot be applied on the air while determining its properties. 17. What do you understand from the properties? What are the different types of properties? Every fluid has certain characteristics which describe the physical condition of the fluid. Such characteristics are called properties of the fluid. The properties of any fluid are pressure, temperature, density, mass and volume etc. The properties can be intensive or extensive. Intensive properties do not depend upon the mass of the fluid. Pressure, temperature and density are extensive properties. The extensive properties depend up the mass of the fluid. Volume and weight are extensive properties. We can convert the extensive properties into intensive properties by dividing them by the mass of the fluid. Hence volume and weight are extensive properties but they can be converted into intensive properties by dividing them by mass, which give us the properties as specific volume and specific weight. 18. What do you understand from the following fluid properties: (1) density (2) specific weight (3) specific volume and (4) relative density? 1. Density. It is defined as the mass of the fluid per unit volume. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. kg Density (p) — mass = volume m3 2. Specific Weight.

We employ these fluids in many engineering applications. Many such applications involve the flow of these fluids. The flow through pipes; energy conversion by pump and turbine, the storage capacity and stability of dams, the movement of aircraft, submarine and rockets can be analysed by the fluids mechanics. Three basic principles which are used in the fluid mechanics for analysing fluid flow problems are: (1) the principle of the conservation of mass flow (2) the principle of the conservation of energy and (3) the principle of the conservation of momentum. 23. What do you understand from the viscosity of the fluids? When a solid mass slides over a surface, a friction force is developed to oppose the motion. Similarly when a layer of a fluid slides over another layer of the same fluid, a friction force is developed between them opposing the relative motion. This tangential force is called the viscous force. Suppose a fluid is moving in streamlined manner on a fixed horizontal surface AB as shown in the figure below. The layer of the fluid in the contact of the surface remains stationary (at rest), while the velocity of other layers increases with distance from the fixed surface. In the figure, the length of arrows represents the increasing velocity of the layers. It can be seen that there is a relative motion between the different layers. If we take three parallel layers a, b, and c from the fixed surface, then their velocities are in the increasing order. The layer a tends to retard the layer b and layer b tends to retard the layer c. Therefore each layer tries to decrease the velocity of the layer above it. It also means that each layer tries to increase the velocity of the layer below it. There is therefore an internal tangential resistive force acting between two layers which is opposing their relative motion. This force is called viscous force. In order to maintain the flow of the fluid, we have to apply an external force to overcome this tangential resistive or viscous force. In the absence of external force, the viscous force will resist the flow and bring the fluid to rest.

24. Define viscosity. Give examples to show the existence of viscosity. The property of the fluid by virtue of which it opposes the relative motion between its adjacent layers is known as viscosity. The property of viscosity can be seen in the following natural phenomenon:1. We cannot walk fast in water as compared to air as water has comparatively larger viscosity. 2. A stirred liquid comes to rest on account of viscosity. 3. If we pour honey and water on a table then the honey will stop flowing soon while the water will flow for a large distance as it has small viscosity as compared to honey. 25. Derive the Newton's equation of viscosity. (UPTU 2007 — 08) A thin layer of fluid is contained between two parallel plates as shown above. The upper plate is moved by tangential force P while lower plate is kept stationary. The movement of upper plate is resisted by the liquid through its viscosity. Therefore the magnitude of velocity of upper plate will depend upon the viscosity of the fluid. In no slip condition, the fluid layer on the lower surface remains stationary whereas the top fluid layer moves with the speed of the upper plate. Hence a velocity gradient will act, resulting a vertical fluid line OA deforms to the position OA'. A point B on line OA at a height dy from 0, will move to B1 due to its velocity du.

Distinguish between Newtonian and nonNewtonian fluids. (UPTU 2001 — 02) Newton's Law of Viscosity.

What do you understand from (1) poise (2) centipoise (3) specific viscosity and (4) kinematic viscosity? or Differentiate between dynamic and kinematic viscosity (UPTU 2004-05) Poise is the unit of viscosity in CGS system. One poise = 0.1 N2 . Poise is a relatively large unit. Hence centipoise is used which is equal to 0.01 poise. Water has viscosity at 20°C = 1 centipoise.
24 Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics Kinematic viscosity is the ratio of the viscosity of fluid to its density. Kinematic viscosity =
viscosity µ (in2 ) density p s
The kinematic viscosity in CGS system is stoke (=10-4 m2/s). Stoke is a relative large unit and centistoke (cst) which is equal to 0.01 stoke is used. The kinematic viscosity of water at 20°C and air at STP are 1 cst and 15 cst respectively. Air has higher kinematic viscosity than water. Dynamic Viscosity

It is the ratio of viscous force to the inertia force of the fluid. If viscous force is large, kinematic viscosity is large and vice versa. 4. It is used where both viscous and inertia forces are predominant.
34. What are the effects of temperature and pressure on viscosity? Increase of temperature causes a decrease in the viscosity of liquid while it increases the viscosity of gases. The viscous forces in a fluid are produced by the intermolecular cohesion and molecular moment transfer. The molecules of a liquid are comparatively more closely packed and molecular activity is rather small. Hence viscosity of liquid is primarily due to molecular cohesion. The molecular cohesion decreases with elevated temperature which results into drop in viscosity of liquid. The molecular cohesive forces are very small in a gas and the viscosity is primarily due to the molecular momentum transfer. The rise of temperatures increases the molecular activity thereby increasing the viscosity of gas. High pressures also affect the viscosity of a liquid. The viscosity is found to be increasing with rising pressure. Viscosity increases, as more energy is required for the relative movement of liquid molecules at elevated pressure. 35.

53. What is the compressibility and coefficient of compressibility of the fluid? Compressibility. Fluids can be compressible or incompressible. Incompressible fluids have constant density while incompressible fluids have variable density. In compressible fluids, when pressure is applied, fluids contract and when pressure is reduced, they expand. Compressibility is the property of a fluid, which characterizes its ability to change its volume under pressure.
dp

57. Explain: (1) Evaporation (2) Vapour pressure and (3) boiling. Evaporation: Evaporation means a change of phase from liquid to gaseous. The rate of evaporation depends upon the pressure and temperature. Evaporation increases with rise of temperature or lowering of pressure. Vapour Pressure: Consider a liquid, which is enclosed in a closed space. The molecules of the liquid which attain high energy leave the liquid phase to vapour phase. However some of the molecules in vapour phase have a tendency to rebound back and get absorbed in the liquid. Hence there is continuous interchange of molecules between the liquid and the vapour above it. The vapour pressure will have a constant value when the molecules leaving and entering into vapour state is same. The constant vapour pressure exerted by the vapour on liquid is called the saturated vapour pressure. Higher the vapour pressure, more volatile is the liquid. Petrol has vapour pressure of 30.4 kN/m2 while water has vapour pressure of 2.35 KN/m2 at 20°C. Hence petrol vaporizes faster than water. Mercury has very low vapour pressure and high density. Due to this, it is very suitable as fluid for manometer. Boiling: Evaporation of liquid ceases when saturated vapour pressure has been achieved on the liquid. In case vapour pressure decreases below the saturated vapuor pressure, evaporation of liquid starts again and it continues until new equilibrium condition is attained. If the vapour pressure falls considerably, then the molecules leave the liquid surface very rapidly to vapour state and this is called boiling. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapour pressure equals the external pressure. For water, the vapour pressure becomes 1.01 bar at 100°C, which is equal to atmospheric pressure, resulting boiling of the water. At lower atmospheric pressure like in hill stations, water attains vapour pressure equal to lower atmospheric pressure at lower temperature and water boils at lower temperature. 58. What is cavitation? What is its effect? How is it avoided? The fluid starts boiling even at low temperature if pressure on the fluid falls to its vapour pressure at that temperature. Such boiling often occurs in flowing fluids specially on suction side of the pump. When such boiling does occur in flowing fluids, vapour bubbles begin to grow in local regions of very low pressure. The formation of bubbles of vapour in flowing fluid is called cavitation. The bubbles of vapuor are formed due to cavitation in the region of low pressure and bubbles are carried by the fluid flow to other regions such as delivery side of the pump where the pressure is high. In the region of high pressure, bubbles suddenly collapse and vapour condenses, resulting drop in volume occupied. The space occupied by the bubbles is now available for the fluid to rush in to fill it.

The rushing of fluid leads to generation of noise and vibrations. If bubbles collapse on the impeller vanes, the rushing fluid corrodes the vanes and other surfaces of the pump. Cavitation can also occur if a liquid contains dissolved air or other gases n liquid. The solubility of gests in a liquid decreases as the pressure is reduced. Gas or air bubbles are released in the same way as vapour bubbles with the same damaging effects. The cavitation occur in hydraulic machines having flow of high speed fluids such as turbines, pumps, propellers of ship and pipeline. The cavitation has to be avoided by ensuring that pressure on the fluid should not fall below its vapour pressure in any region of the flow by proper designing the fluid flow.

16. What are the micrometers? Why are they called sensitive manometers? Micrometers are modified form of double column manometer in which the cross-sectional area of the limb connected to vessel is so large with respect to other limb opened to the atmosphere that any change in the level in the large limb can be neglected. Hence the gauge pressure inside the vessel is directly proportional to the level in the open limb. In micrometers, either one limb is made much larger or a reservo it of large cross-section area is introduced in one of the limbs. In case the cross-sectional area of larger diameter limb (aiarge) is 100 times than the cross-sectional area of smaller diameter limb, then volume moving from one limb to other has to be same. ...

Hence we can directly read the pressure in the vessel by the level in the smaller diameter limb. The change of the level in the limbs is also sufficient for all pressures. Hence such instruments are also called sensitive manometers. As the pressure can be read from the smaller diameter limb, this limb is required to be made of glass and larger diameter limb can be made of any metal. 17.

or Derive an expression for the absolute pressure to be measured in pipe carrying highly pressurised water with the help of a double U-tube manometer having mercury in each tube with different levels in the four limbs. (UPTU 2009 — 10) Differential manometer is an instrument, which is used to measure the difference of pressures between any two points in a pipeline or the difference of pressures between two pipes. Differential manometers can be: (1) Two piezometer tubes method (2) U tube differential manometer and (3) Inverted U tube differential manometer. 1. Two Piezometer Tubes Method: Two separate piezometer tubes are inserted at two points 1 and 2, between which the pressure difference is to be found out. The pressure
Pressure and Head 75 difference between the points is equal to the difference of the levels of the liquid in the two tubes i.e. dp = h1 — h2.

Two Piezometer Tubes Method 2. Inverted U Tube Manometer: In case two piezometer tubes are joined at top, they form an inverted U tube manometer. An opening at the top of the inverted U tube is provided to drive away air present in the U tube. The upper part of the manometer can also be filled with a lighter measuring fluid, which is lighter than the fluid flowing through the pipeline. This helps in restricting the height of the limbs. AP = — h2 = h or AP = pgh pg For manometer having measuring liquid (ml) AP = hl pg (I— Pm/ = hl pg(1 — smi) if water is flowing, then Smi = Sp gravity of measuring liquid.

In such cases. U tube differential manometer is used to measure the pressure difference. The measuring liquid (generally mercury) used in such manometer is heavier than fluid flowing through the pipe or pipes. The pressure difference can be given as:

20. Why mercury is used as manometeric liquid? The mercury is used as manometric liquid for following reasons: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
It has high density so that mercury rise is reasonable for a pressure. It is immiscible with the liquid flowing in the pipes. It does not stick to the surface of the tubes of the manometer. The vapour pressure is negligible at room temperature. It does not react chemically with most of the liquids flowing through pipes.
21. What is a micromanometer or two liquids double columns enlarged ends manometer? Micromanometer is used for vary high precision measurement of pressure difference. It is a U-tube manometer with two ends widened or two reservoirs provided at the ends. In order to magnify the readings, two liquids of different specific gravity are used for the reservoirs and U-tube. These two liquids and fluid in pipes are required to be immiscible. Initial levels in reservoirs and U-tube are x — y and y — y. On application of pressures, the rise of liquids in U-tube is h, which is directly proportional to the difference of pressures.

INTRODUCTION A force is exerted by the fluid on a surface, either plane or curved, when a static mass of the fluid comes in contact with the surface. This fluid force always acts normal to the surface and it is known as total pressure. The point of application of total pressure on the surface is known as the centre of pressure. The intensity of total pressure increases with the depth of a point in the immersed surface. As the pressure intensity is non-uniform, the total pressure force will not act at the centre of gravity of the vertical surface but at other point below the centre of gravity. This point is called the centre of pressure. In case of horizontal surface, the intensity of pressure is uniform throughout the surface, resulting the centre of pressure moving up and merging with the centre of gravity. The total pressure and centre of pressure have to be determined while designing hydraulic structures such as dams, sluice gates and lock gates. 1. Define the terms 'Total Pressure' and 'Centre of Pressure'. (UPTU 2001-02) or

Define the term of centre of pressure of plane area immersed in a fluid. What relation has it got with the centre of gravity of the area? Do the centre of pressure and centre of gravity ever coincide and if so under what conditions? (UPTU 2009-10) Total Pressure: When a fluid is at rest and there is no relative velocity or velocity gradient between the layers, then the fluid has no tangential shear force. It follows that the force exerted by stationary fluid has no component along the surface. The force exerted by the static fluid on the surface in contact with fluid is called 'total pressure'. It is always normal to the contact surface. The surface can be horizontal, vertical, inclined or curved. However water must be in contact with the surface.
Total Pressure Forces: Normal to surface Centre of Pressure: The point at which total pressure is supposed to act is called centre of pressure. The intensity of pressure increases with the depth of a point on the immersed surface. Had the pressure intensity been the same at every elementary surface area, the resultant pressure force would have passed through the centroid of the immersed area. It happens so for horizontal contact surface. In all other surfaces, the resultant of pressure force shall lie near the deeper end of the surface. The centre of pressure of the contact surface from free surface is given by:

2. What is total pressure acting on a plane horizontal surface?
-- EEEUEEVIVEEEEE: A plane horizontal surface, which is lying in the fluid of density, (p) has same depth of water over its entire surface area. Hence pressure acting on the entire surface is the same. Intensity of pressure = h x p x g Force acting on elementary area dA is dF = h pg x dA F=

9. What do you understand from the centre of pressure? Find the expression for the depth of the centre of pressure for a vertical surface immersed in a liquid from its free surface. How is it related to the depth of CG of the vertical surface from the free surface? What happens if the contact surface is horizontal instead of vertical? The intensity of pressure increases with depth of a point on the immersed surface. Hence on a vertical contact surface, the pressure intensity continuously increases as we move down from the top edge to the bottom edge. As the pressure intensity is non-uniform, the total pressure force will not act at the centre of gravity of the vertical surface but at other point below the centre of gravity. This point is called the centre of pressure of the vertical surface.

The centre of pressure always lies below the centre of gravity by a distance of -± . In case Ax i is large when the vertical surface is immersed for a greater depth, then - tends to be Ax zero, resulting in the centre of pressure moving up and merging with the centre of gravity. In case the plate is made horizontal then the intensity of pressure is uniform throughout the surface of the plate. In this case, the centre of gravity and the centre of pressure is same i.e. h =X . 10.

For stability, metacentre has to be either above the CG or at least at same height. Hence maximum possible height of CG is 0.28 m above the free surface. 42.

INTRODUCTION When a container containing a fluid is made to move with a constant acceleration, then the liquid particles initially will move relative to each other and after some time there will not be any relative motion between the liquid particles and the walls of the container. The liquid will take up a new position under the effect of acceleration imparted to the container. A container containing a fluid may be subjected to (i) translatory acceleration in horizontal or vertical direction and (ii) rotational motion at constant acceleration. d'Alembert's principle helps in changing the dynamic equilibrium of fluid mass subjected to acceleration into static equilibrium. The conditions for the relative equilibrium of a liquid mass subjected to acceleration are (i) no shear stress in liquid (ii) no motion between fluid particles and (iii) no motion between the fluid and its container. 1. What do you understand by a static body? A static body is a body which does not move. In other words, the body is at rest. 2.
Is anybody at rest in universe?
Fluid Masses Subjected to Acceleration
239
In universe, none of the body is at rest or in static state as universe is moving and everybody in it is moving. 3. How do we say that a body is at rest or in static state? A body on earth is said to be at rest or in static state when it does not change its position with respect to other bodies existing on the earth. It can be appreciated that the body at rest or in static condition is in fact is moving with the same velocity as that of the earth. Therefore we are considering the body to be at rest or in static state relative to the movement of the earth. 4. What do you understand by relative or dynamic equilibrium in moving fluid mass? If the fluid particles in the moving fluid mass do not move relative to each other, then they are said to be in static position and in this situation dynamic or relative equilibrium exists between the fluid particles under the action of accelerating force. If a container containing a liquid is made to move with a constant acceleration, the liquid particles initially will move relative to each other and after some time there will not be any relative motion between the liquid particles and the walls of the container. The liquid will take up a new position under the effect of acceleration imparted to the container. The entire liquid mass moves as single unit. The liquid attains static equilibrium in new position relative to the container and law of hydrostatic can be applied to find out liquid pressure. 5. How can fluid be subjected to horizontal translation acceleration? The fluid can be subjected to translation acceleration without relative motion between fluid particles by moving the vessel containing the fluid with horizontal acceleration. A fluid in vessel transported by a vehicle is subjected to horizontal translation acceleration as shown in the figure. Fluid is sloped

Free body diagram of liquid mass
The free body diagram of entire mass of liquid is as shown in the figure. If we consider the equilibrium of entire mass of liquid, the vertical component of hydrostatical pressure force at rear end is F1 and at front end is F2. Since the level of liquid at rear end is more than front end, hence F1 > F2. For equilibrium, EPx = 0. and
F1 — F2 = 171 • a, where m = mass a = acceleration

Slope of free surface of the liquid Consider a liquid particle A on the free surface. As there is no relative motion between liquid particles, no shear force is acting on any layer. Hence pressure force F exerted by the surrounding liquid on point A is normal to the free surface as shown in figure. If we resolve this force (F) along vertical and horizontal direction and apply the conditions of equilibrium i.e. EPx = 0 and EPy = 0. Free surface ..

13. What are the lines of constant pressure in liquid mass when subjected to constant horizontal acceleration?
Lines 1 — 1, 2 — 2, 3 — 3, & 4 — 4 are pressure lines P1 < P2 < P3 < P4 ---
Constant pressure lines
When a liquid mass is given a constant horizontal acceleration, the slope of all points on the free surface of the liquid remains constant. Hence the free surface of the liquid is inclined at a constant angle 0 to the horizontal. The lines parallel to the free surface are constant

pressure lines as all points on each line have same pressure. However the intensity of pressure will increase on lines as they distant away from the free surface of the liquid. 14. What happens when a liquid is subjected to constant vertical acceleration? When a liquid is subjected to constant vertical acceleration, the free surface of the liquid remains horizontal as it was earlier without subjecting the liquid to the acceleration. However the pressure intensity now at any point in the liquid is greater than the static pressure (pgh) by an amount given by pgh (i c where a is acceleration in vertical direction. g Height

Forces acting on downward acceleration on the column of the liquid are as shown in the figure. mg — F = ma m=pxhxdA F = P x dA phdAg — PdA = phdAa P= phg (1-1 Hence during downward acceleration, the pressure at any point in liquid is less than static pressure (phg) by an amount equal to a 16. What will happen if a liquid is subjected downward acceleration equal to the coefficient of acceleration (g)? (UPTU 2009-10) The pressure at any point with downward acceleration is P = pgh(1-1 Now a = g, then P = 0 Hence the pressure intensity in the liquid does not vary and it is same at every point of the liquid. The pressure is same as atmospheric pressure. 17. What happens when a liquid is subjected to constant acceleration while moving up along an inclined plane? Find the angle of slope of the free surface of the liquid. (UPTU 2009-10) When a liquid container on a transport is standing on a inclined plane, the free surface of the liquid remains horizontal in spite of the normal axis of the liquid sloping with angle (inclination angle) with the vertical.

When transport moves up with uniform acceleration a along the inclined plane, we can resolve the acceleration in two axes viz along the horizontal as ax = a cos q) along the vertical as a, = a sin 0. The liquid can be considered to be simultaneously subjected to constant horizontal and vertical accelerations. Horizontal acceleration will make the free surface of the liquid to slope upwards at angle 0 at rear end of the container while the vertical acceleration will increase the pressure at any point in liquid above its static pressure Horizontal level at rest Sloping free surface due to acceleration

When transport moves down with uniform acceleration a along the inclined plane, the free surface slopes up toward the rear wall of the container as shown in the diagram. During equilibrium, we have EPx = 0, F sin 0 = max EPy = 0, F cos 0 = mg — ma, tan 0 —

The transport tanks for transporting liquid are specially designed in such a way that liquid depth at both ends remains the same when the transport is at rest on an inclined road as shown in the figure.

The hydrostatic pressure forces on the end walls will also be less in case the ends are hemispherical (projected area on vertical plane is small). 21. What happens when a liquid is subjected to radial acceleration? When a liquid is made to rotate by a forced vortex, the whole liquid mass rotates with constant angular velocity, thereby attaining the situation of relative equilibrium i.e. no relative motion of liquid particles.

Forced vortex in open vessel. The form of the free surface of a liquid in a rotating open vessel is similar to that of a paraboloid of revolution. Any vertical plane passing through the axis of rotation which cuts 2 2
the liquid will produce a parabola. The equation of the parabola is z = w x where w = 2g angular velocity and x is radial distance from the vertex and z is height from the vertex. 22. What are constant pressure surfaces when a liquid is subjected to a forced vortex? When a liquid is rotated in a open vessel, its free surface attains the form of paraboloid. Any surface in the liquid having all its points at equal distance from the free surface will have

When a liquid is subjected to a forced vortex, the free surface attains the shape of paraboloid. As there is no relative motion between the liquid particles, the relative equilibrium prevails in the liquid. Consider the equilibrium of a small mass m of the liquid at a point A on free surface. It is subjected to following forces: (1) centrifugal force c = mw2x acting along x axis i.e. horizontally (2) weight of the fluid particle acting downward i.e. mg and (3) fluid pressure force F acting normal to the free surface.

When a liquid is subjected to radial acceleration, the free surface attains the shape of paraboloid as shown in the figure. The distance OA is called axial depth of water and OB is called the rise of water. Also OD = BD where D is on original level of liquid.

INTROIDUCTION Dimensional analysis is a mathematical technique which uses the dimensions of quantities in solving the engineering problems. Dimensional analysis helps in determining a possible arrangement of variables in a physical relationship. Physical relationship is rational in case the dimensions of left hand of the relation is equal to the dimensions of right hand. All physical relationships are dimensionally homogeneous. In fluid mechanics, a fluid particle is subjected to a number of forces such as (i) inertia force (ii) viscous force (iii) gravitational force (iv) pressure force (v) surface tension force and (vi) elastic force. Dimensionless parameters are useful in fluid mechanics when any two forces are predominant. The dimensionless parameters are (i) Reynolds number (ii) Euler's number (iii) and Weber's number. 1. What do you understand from dimensional analysis? Dimensional analysis is a branch of mathematics which deals with the dimensions of quantities. Dimensional analysis helps in determining a possible arrangement of variables in

a physical relationship. This is achieved by forming a number of non-dimensional group free from units from a given number of dimensional quantities in such a way that variables can be reduced and the physical relationship can be expressed in a possible arrangement of remaining variables. 2. What are the uses of dimensional analysis? The uses of dimensional analysis are: (1) To ascertain whether any equation of physical phenomenon is rational or not. If the equation is dimensionally homogeneous (dimensional units at both sides of the equation area same), the physical phenomenon is rational. Otherwise it is impossible. (2) To ascertain whether the relationship between various quantities in an equation signifying a physical phenomenon. (3) To reduce the number of variables involved in a physical phenomenon. The performance of experiment becomes easy due to this reduction of variables. (4) To convert the theoretical equation into a simple dimensionless form. (5) To solve any complex physical phenomenon. (6) To convert the units of quantities from one system to the another system. (7) To facilitate model testing by reducing the number of variables into four primary quantities. 3. What are the fundamental dimensions or primary quantities? Mass, length, time and temperature are fundamental or primary dimensions. These four physical quantities are called fundamental dimensions or primary quantities as the unit of these quantities does not depend on the unit of any other physical quantities. 4. What are the derived or secondary dimensions? The unit of physical quantity which depends on the unit of other physical quantities is called derived or secondary dimensions. 5.

6. What is dimensional homogeneity? What are variables and dependent variables? or What do you understand by a dimensionally homogenous equation? Write three dimensionless parameters. A physical phenomenon is given in variables in the form of an equation. The physical phenomenon is rational in case the dimensions of left hand of the relation is equal to the dimensions of right hand. If it is so, we say that equation is dimensionally homogenous. For example, take the expression of static pressure: P = pgh

What are the applications of dimensional homogeneity? The applications of dimensional homogeneity are: (1) To ascertain whether the equation is homogeneous, thereby finding out whether phenomenon is rational. (2) To ascertain the dimensions of a variable. (3) To facilitate easy conversion of units from one system to another. (4) To help in dimensional analysis and model testing. In fluid mechanics, a fluid particle is subjected to a number of forces such as inertia force, viscous force, gravitational force, pressure force, surface tension force and elastic force. Dimensionless parameters are useful in fluid mechanics when any of two forces are predominant. Hence dimensionless parameters are the ratio of two forces which are predominant. The dimensionless parameters are: (a) Reynolds number. It is the ratio of inertia force to viscous force in fluid. ni2v2 R

8. What are dimensional form and non-dimensional form of homogenous equation? In dimensional form of homogenous equations, the dimensions of left side are equal to dimension of right side. For example: Q = 8 CdV2g tan 0 H5I2 5 7-1 = L3 7-1 On reduction L3 In non-dimensional form of homogenous equations, the left side and right side have no dimension. For example, the above homogeneous equation can be written in nondimensional form as: — 8 2 Cd tan 6 15 •H"2

9. What are different methods of dimensional analysis? There are two methods of dimensional analysis viz. (1) Rayleigh's method and (2) Buckingham's method or Buckingham's 7rtheorem. 10. Explain dimensional analysis by Rayleigh's method. The Rayleigh's method is used for determining the expression for a dependent variable which depends upon maximum three or four variables or otherwise it becomes difficult to find the expression for the dependent variable. IfX is a variable which is dependent on three variables X1, X2 and X3, then the expression can be written as X = X2, X3). This expression can be simplified by Rayleigh's method by writing X= m•Xla X2b X3' where m = constant and a, b and c are powers. The values of a, b and c can be found out by comparing fundamental dimensions of both sides. Hence the expression for dependent variable can be obtained. 11. Prove by the method of dimensional analysis that R, the resistance to be motion of a sphere of radius r falling with a velocity V through a fluid of viscosity q is given by R = rV where k is a dimensional constant. (London University) Guidance: The dependent variable depends upon three variables which makes it suitable for Rayleigh's method of dimensional analysis Rocifixrb xVx1f 1 Putting fundamental dimensions

Why this theorem is considered superior to Rayleigh's method for dimensional analysis. (UPTU-2005-6) BUCKINGHAM'S THEOREM Buckingham's theorem states that if there are n number of variables and m number of fundamental dimensions in a dimensionally homogeneous equation, then the variables can be arranged in (n — m) number of dimensionless terms. These dimensionless terms are called 71- terms. Let Or
Xi = fix2, x3 . — x„) fixi, x2 ... xn) = o.
If there are n variables with 3 fundamental dimensions, then equation can be written as — ,(g1, 762 • • • 76n-3) = 0 Each 71- terms is formed with 4 variables in which three variables are repeating variables (say X2, X3 and X4) Hence Tr terms can be written as — xi = X201 X3b1 X4cl Xi 71-2 = X202 X3b2 X4c2 X5 and so on but upto nn-3 = X20n-3 X3bn-3 X4cn-3 Xn_3

The above equations are solved by the principle of dimensional homogeneity. When the values of irk , 7r2 ... ir„-3 area known, the required expression can be written as: f (xi, 7-c2 - 7l 3) = 0 REPEATING VARIABLES These are variables which are selected to appear in each ir term. The numbers of repeating variables are equal to the number of fundamental dimensions appearing in the variables of the equation. The choice of repeating variables is made on basis of following: (1) The dependent variables should not be selected. (2) Variables having different categories of property instead of one should be selected. For example, variables should be one each from geometric property (length, height and diameter), flow property (velocity, acceleration) and fluid property (viscosity, density). (3) Should not be dimensionless. (4) Should have different dimensions. (5) Should have same number of fundamental dimensions. Superiority of x theorem over Rayleigh's method: The Rayleigh's method of dimensional analysis becomes more laborious as number of variables becomes more than fundamental dimensions. Such problem is not faced when 71- theorem is used. 13. The drag force F on a partially submerged body depends on the relative velocity V between the body and the fluid, characteristics linear dimension 1, height of surface roughness k, fluid density p, the viscosity g and the acceleration due to gravity (g). Obtain an expression for the drag force using the method of dimensional analysis. (UPTU-2001-2) Guidance: There are six variables which suggest to use Buckingham's n- theorem for solving the expression. Let the expression be f(F, I, k, V, µ, p, g) = 0 Total number of variables (m) = 7 Total number of fundamental dimension (n) = 3(M, L & 7) Number of ir terms = 7 — 3 = 4 Each ir term consists of M + 1 variables i.e. 3 + 1 = 4 We select repeating variables as L, V and p. 7ri = 1,611 ribl p° 1 F u 7r2 = L°2 Vb2 i:f2 j 7/-3 = La3 Vb3 113 g 7r4 = La4 Vb4 p' 4 k Now xi = Lai(LT-1)11.

Gravitational force (4) Pressure force (5) Surface tension force and (6) Elastic force. The ratio of any two forces is a dimensionless parameter. These parameters have great physical significance as fluids having same parameter have dynamical similarity.

INTRODUCTION The behaviour of the hydraulic structures and machines can be predicted by performing tests on their models. Since prototypes are costly as compared to the models, any failure of model does not therefore involve much loss of material and human labour. Geometric similarity implies similarity of shape between model and prototype. Kinematic similarity means the similarity of motion. Dynamic similarity implies that the forces acting on the matching points of the prototype and its model are equal in magnitude and direction. Model testing is used in design of (i) aeroplanes, rockets and missiles (ii) harbours (iii) ships and submarines (iv) skyscrapers (v) turbines, pumps and compressors (vi) dams, weirs, spillways and canals and (vii) flood control measures. 1. What is a model? A model is small scale replica of the actual machine or structure. 2. What is a prototype?
288
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
The actual structure or machine is called prototype. 3. Can a model be bigger than its prototype? It is not necessary that the models should be smaller than the prototypes. However in most of cases, models are smaller than prototypes. 4. What is the model analysis? Or What is difference between a model and prototype? (UPTU-2006-7) It can be appreciated that when hydraulic structure or machine has been built, it becomes very difficult to modify it to meet the desired requirements. In order to predict the performance of hydraulic structures or machines before they are built, it is advantageous to make their models and perform experiments on them to see that the performance is as required. In case any changes are necessary to modify the performance, it is very convenient to incorporate in the model. Hence model making and model analysis is a very useful technique in the fluid machines. 5. What are the advantages of model testing? The advantages of model testing are: (1) The behaviour and performance of the structures or machines can be predicted by performing tests on their models. Since prototypes are costly as compared to the models, any failure of model does not involve much loss of material and human labour. (2) It is possible to make models of a prototype based on alternative designs which facilitates selecting most economical, safe and sound design of the prototype. (3) Safety and reliability of a structure or machine can be ascertained by model testing before actually constructing or putting into the use of the prototype. (4) Model testing also helps in identifying the defects in existing structure or machines. 6. Which are the fields where model testing can be used? Model testing is used in following fields (1) Design of aeroplane, rockets and missiles. The models are tested in wind tunnels by subjecting them to similar air flow. (2) Design of harbour (3) Design of ships and submarines by testing their models (4) Design of skyscrapers by subjecting their models to wind loads (5) Design of irrigation channels (6) Design of turbines, pumps and compressors (7) Design of civil engineering structures such as dams, weirs, spillways and canals
Similitude and Model Analysis
289
(8) Design of flood control measures. 7. What is hydraulic similitude? For ascertaining the soundness and performance of the hydraulic structure or machine, it is most essential that the model should represent its prototype completely in all aspects. This similarity between the prototype and its model is known as hydraulic similitude. 8. What is the outcome of the hydraulic similitude? The outcome of hydraulic similitude is that the results of model tests can be successfully applied to the prototype of the hydraulic structure or machine. Similitude help us to assume that the flows of the fluid are mechanically similar for both prototype and its model. 9. What are the different similarities which should exist between models and prototypes? Or Discuss geometric, kinematic and dynamic similarities. Are these similarities truly attainable? If not why? (UPTU-2005-6) Models must reproduce the behaviour of the prototype. Hence it must possess following similarities: (1) Geometric similarity (2) Kinematic similarity (3) Dynamic similarity A model which satisfies all above similarities with its prototype is known as completely similar and true model. In practice, it is not possible to achieve complete similarity in models. It is, therefore, common to consider only those forces which are predominant in a phenomenon and design the model such that the same forces influence the flow phenomenon in the model also. The effects of all other forces which are insignificant are either neglected or considered by a correction factor based on experimentation. 10. What is geometric similarity? Geometric similarity implies similarity of shape between the model and prototype. The model is an exact replica of the prototype having identical shape but smaller in size. The model and prototype have same ratio for all corresponding linear dimensions but all included angles are same. For geometric similarity — hp = W P hm Wm

11. What is kinematic similarity? Kinematic similarity means the similarity of motion. For obtaining similarity of motion, both the model and its prototype must produce identical time rates of change of motion. In other words, the ratio of velocities and accelerations of a fluid particle at certain points in the model and at the matching point of prototype must be same in magnitude and direction. For kinematic similarity, we must have: (1) Same velocity ratio, V, = VvP (2) Same acceleration ratio, a, —

12. What is dynamic similarity? The dynamic similarity implies that the forces acting on the matching points of the prototype and its model are equal in magnitude and direction. Dynamic similarity can be said to exist between the model and its prototype if the ratios of all forces acting on corresponding fluid particles or corresponding boundary surfaces of the model and prototype are identical. Both geometric and kinematic similarities are prerequisites for dynamic similarity For dynamic similarity: (a) Same force ratio, F, =

13. What are similarity laws or model laws? The similarity is difficult to be achieved in all respects as : (1) For the dynamic similarity, the ratio of corresponding forces acting at the matching points of the model and the prototype must be equal. (2) The dimensionless numbers should be having same magnitude for the model and prototype. But it is very difficult to have all dimensionless numbers such as Reynolds number, Froude's number, Euler's number, Weber's number and Mach's number same for both model and prototype. (3) The models are therefore designed on the basis of the few forces out of all forces such as inertia force, viscous force, elastic force, pressure force and gravitational force which are predominant in the flow situation. The laws on which models are designed for dynamic similarity are called model laws or similarity laws. The model laws are: (1) Reynolds model law (2) Froude's model law (3) Euler's model law (4) Weber's model law and (5) Mach's model law. 14. What is Reynolds model law? If the model is designed on the basis of Reynolds number then the model is said to be based on Reynolds model law. Reynolds model law is used whenever inertia and viscous forces

Answer (a) is correct 35. What do you understand by distorted model? Distorted model is one which has its one or more characteristics not similar to the corresponding characteristics of prototype. A model having different horizontal and vertical scale ratio is a distorted model. In order to predict the performance of prototype, the law of distortion have to be applied to the results obtained from the model test. The distortion can be (1) geometric distortion i.e. horizontal and vertical scales are different (2) hydraulic distortion i.e. fluids in model and prototypes are different (3) material distortion i.e. materials in model and prototype are different and (4) configuration distortion i.e. slope in model and prototype is different. 36.

INTRODUCTION Fluid kinematics is a branch of fluid mechanics which deals with the study of velocity and acceleration of the particles of fluid in motion and their distribution in space without considering any force or energy involved. Fluid kinematics provides an idea about (i) the rate of flow and (ii) type of flow. The fluid motion can be described using (i) Lagrangian method and (ii) Eulerian method. The Eulerian method is commonly adopted. The motion of fluid is also described by various lines of flow such as (i) path line (ii) stream line (iii) stream tube (iv) streak line and (v) potential line. The flow can be (i) uniform or non-uniform, (ii) laminar or turbulent, (iii) compressible or incompressible, (iv) rotational or irrotational (v) steady or unsteady and (vi) onedimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional.

1. What is fluid kinematics? Fluid kinematics is a branch of fluid mechanics which deals with the study of velocity and acceleration of the particles of fluids in motion and their distribution in space without considering any force or energy involved. Kinematics provides — (1) an idea about the rate of flow which is also called discharge (2) an idea about different types of velocities of flow. 2. What is the first and fundamental equation of flow? The equation of continuity is the first and fundamental equation of flow. 3. What is fluid motion? What are the methods used to describe fluid motion? In fluid motion, each fluid particle has its own velocity and acceleration at any point of time. Velocity and acceleration of a particle may change with time or in change the position of the particle during the flow. Two methods are used in describing fluid motion viz. (1) the Langrangian method and (2) the Eulerian method. 4. What is the Langrangian method of describing fluid motion? In Langrangian method, the motion of each particle is defined with respect to its location in space and time from a fixed position before the start of the motion. The movement of single particle is observed which gives the path followed by the particle. The position of the fluid particle in space (x, y, z) at any time from its fixed position (a, b, c) at t = 0, shall be x = fi (a, b, c, t) y = f2 (a, b, c, t) z = f3 (a, b, c, t) From the position, velocities, u, v and w and acceleration ax, ay and az can be given as —

5. What is the Eulerian method of describing fluid motion? In this method, instead of concentrating on single fluid particle and its movement, concentration is made on all fluid particles passing through a fixed point. The changes of velocity, acceleration, pressure and density of the fluid particles as they pass through the fixed point are observed. Hence the Eulerian method describes the overall flow characteristics at various points as fluid particles pass through them. The velocity at any point (x, y, z) can be given as u = f1(x, y, z, t), v = f2 (x, y, z, t), w = f3 (x, y, z, t)

7. What are various lines of flow to describe the motion of the fluid? The various lines of flow are: (1) path line (2) stream line (3) stream tube (4) streak line or filament line and (5) potential lines. 8. What is a path line in fluid motion? What happens to path line during steady and unsteady flow? The path traced or taken by a single fluid particle in motion over a period of time is called its path line. Hence path line is a locus of a fluid particle as it moves along. The path line shows the direction of velocity of the particle as it moves ahead. During steady flow, path line concides with the stream line as there is no fluctuation in velocity. However the path line fluctuates between different stream lines during an unsteady flow. 9. What is a stream line? A stream line is an imaginary line drawn through a flowing fluid such that the tangent at each point on the line indicates the direction of the velocity of the fluid particle at that point. For example, if ABC is a stream line, then the direction of velocities of A, B and is C as shown
C A A Stream line
Velocities of A, B & C
Fluid Kinematics
3I3
10. Explain the following (1) the value of velocity at right angle to the stream line (2) can there be any flow across the stream line and (3) can two stream lines cross each other? Since velocity of the fluid particle at any point on the stream line is tangential to the stream line, there cannot by any component of velocity normal or right angle to the stream line i.e. the component of velocity at right angle to the stream line is zero. There cannot be any flow across the stream line as the flow is always tangential to the stream line Two stream lines cannot cross each other as otherwise there would be two velocities at that point, one each tangential to the stream lines. This is inconsistent with the definition of a stream line. 11. How does a stream line behave in the vicinity of a solid surface? The stream line in the vicinity of a solid surface conforms to the outline of the boundary surface. For example, the stream lines around a solid cylinder and within a closed conduit are as shown in the figure ////////////////
,,,iymocow ,_,------,------
Stream line around a solid cylinder
Stream lines within a closed conduct
12. What happens to stream lines during steady and unsteady flow conditions? In steady flow, the pattern of stream lines remains unchanging with time. However the pattern of stream lines may or may not remain same with time for unsteady flow. If unsteady flow is due to the change of magnitude of velocity, the stream line pattern remains invariant (unchanging) with time. However if the unsteadiness due to the change in the direction of the velocity, the stream line pattern cannot remain same. 13. What is a stream tube? The stream tube consists of stream lines forming its boundary surface. The stream tube is defined as a circular space formed by the collection of stream lines passing through the perimeter of a closed curve in a steady flow. As stream tube is bounded on all sides by stream lines therefore no fluid can enter or leave the stream tube from the sides except from the ends. Hence stream tube behaves as a solid surface tube. The general equation of continuity can be applied on stream tube though it has no solid boundaries. Stream tube may be of regular or irregular shape. The velocity is uniform throughout the cross-section of the stream tube which necessitates small cross-section for the stream tube. In steady flow with
3I4
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
uniform velocity, all stream lines are straight and parallel. The contents of stream tube are called current-filaments.

14. What do you understand from streak line or filament line? It is an instantaneous picture of the positions of all fluid particles in the flow which have passed or emerged from a given point. The line of smoke from a cigarette or from a chimney is nothing but a streak line 15. What is a potential line? The lines of equal velocity potential are called potential lines. These potential lines cut stream lines orthogonally i.e. a stream line and a potential line are at right angle to each other. 16. Distinguish between stream lines, streak lines and path lines (UPTU 2001-2) Stream lines 1. Imaginary lines showing positions of various fluid particles 2. Particle may change stream line depending on type of flow 3. Stream lines cannot intersect each other, they are always parallel 4. No flow across stream line
Path lines
Streak lines 1. Real line showing instantaneous positions of various particles 2. May change from instant to instant

3. Streak line changes with time. Two streak lines may intersect each other 4. Flow across streak line is possible
3. Two path lines for two particles may intersect each other 4. Flow across a path line is possible by other particles.
17. What are different types of displacements of fluid particles? Any fluid element can be subjected to translation, rotation or distortion during its course of motion. In translation the fluid element moves to another position in the same direction. For example, translation takes place when liquid flows through pipes or in open channel. Pure translation does not cause any stress in the element.

18. What are different types of fluid flow? The fluid flows can be : (1) steady or unsteady (2) uniform or non-uniform (3) laminar or turbulent (4) compressible or incompressible (5) rotational or irrotational (6) one-, two- or three-dimensional 19. Define steady and unsteady flow with one practical example (UPTU-2002-3) The flow in which fluid characteristics like velocity, acceleration, pressure or density do not change with time at any point in the fluid is called steady flow. A flow of water with constant discharge through a pipeline is an example of steady flow. For steady flow, we have the following: a2 v dP ap aV —0 =0—=0 =0 at ' at' at ' at The flow in which fluid characteristics like velocity, acceleration, pressure and density change with time at any point is called unsteady flow. The water with varying discharge through a pipe is an unsteady flow. For unsteady flow, we have: aV #0 a2 v #0 dP #0 & ap #0 — ' at at ' ate ' at In steady flow, the path line and stream line will concide. In unsteady fluid flow, the path line of successive particle will be different and stream line pattern of the flow will be changing at every instant.
20. What do you understand by uniform and non-uniform flow? Uniform flow is the flow in which velocity of the flow does not change along its direction of flow at any point of time. A flow through a constant diameter pipe line is an uniform flow. For uniform flow, we have av — = 0 where v = velocity and s = distance in direction of flow. as Non-uniform flow is the flow in which velocity of the flow changes in the direction of the flow at any instant of time. Flow through a pipe having variying cross-section is a nonuniform flow. For non-uniform flow, we have: dv #0 ds

21. Define laminar and turbulent flow with one practical example. (UPTU-2002-3) A laminar flow is one in which the fluid particles move in layers with each layer sliding over the other. There is no movement of fluid particles from one layer to another. Flow of blood in small veins and oil flow in bearings are examples of laminar flow. It is a smooth regular flow where velocity of flow is very small
Laminar flow
The flow in which adjacent layers cross each other and the layers do not move along the well defined path is called turbulent flow. The flow through rivs or canals, smoke from chimney or cigarette are turbulenter flow. ///////////////////////////
///////////////////////////
Turbulent flow 22. How can flows be classified laminar or turbulent or transit flow? The flow can be classified by Reynolds number. The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertia force to viscous force. The viscous force tends to make the motion of fluid in parallel layers while inertia force (mass x acceleration) tends to diffuse the fluid particles. Higher viscous flows are laminar flow which have lower value of Reynolds number. Low viscous force (higher increase in velocity or inertial force) are turbulent flow which have higher values of Reynolds number. pVL Reynolds number = Inertia force = Viscous force P For flow in pipes, the flow can be: (a) Laminar flow if Reynolds number < 2100 (b) Transit flow if Reynolds number is in between 2100 to 4000 (c) Turbulent flow if Reynolds number > 4000 23. What do you understand by compressible and incompressible flows? The flow in which the volume and thereby the density of fluid does not remain constant
3I8
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
during the flow is called compressible flow. Gases are most compressible. The compressibility related problems are observed when gases flow through orifice, nozzle, turbine, compressor and in flight of planes. The flow in which the changes in volume and thereby in the density of the fluid are insignificant, the flow is said is to be incompressible. Flow of liquids are incompressible flow. For gases, in subsonic aerodynamic conditions air flow can be considered incompressible. 24. What are rotational and irrotational flows? The rotational flow is a flow in which the fluid particles also rotate about their own axis while flowing along stream lines. Motion of a liquid in a rotating cylinder is a rotational flow. The irrotational flow is a flow in which fluid particles do not rotate about their own axis while flowing along stream lines. Flow of water in emptying wash basin is a irrotational flow. The other example of irrotational motion is that of carriages on a giant wheel used for amusement rides. Each carriage describes a circular path as the wheel revolves but it does not rotate with respect to its own axis.

25. Differentiate one-, two- and three-dimensional flow. 1. One-dimensional flow: One-dimensional flow is a flow in which the velocity of the flow is a function of time and one space coordinate (x, y or z). The flow through a pipe is one-dimensional flow. For one-dimensional flow, we have for (a) Steady flow: V = f(x) (b) Unsteady flow: V = f(x, t)

2. 7Wo-dimensional flow: Two-dimensional flow is a flow in which the velocity of the flow is a function of two space coordinates (xy, xz or yz) and time. The flows between two parallel plates of large extent, flow over a long spillway and flow at the middle part of the wing of an aircraft are two-dimensional flows. For two-dimensional flow, we have for: (a) Steady flow: v = f(x, y) (b) Unsteady flow: v = f(x, y, t)

3. Three-dimensional flow: Three-dimensional flow is a flow in which the velocity of the flow is a function of three space coordinates (x, y, z) and time. Flow in converging or diverging pipe section is a three-dimensional flow. V= f (x, y)
X
Three dimensional flow
For three-dimensional flow, we have for — (a) Steady flow: v = f(x, y, z) (b) Unsteady flow: v = f(x, y, z, t) 26. What is discharge or rate of flow (Q)? The discharge is the amount of fluid flow per unit time. Hence discharge is Q _ Volume Time Area x Length Time = Area x velocity =AxV The discharge can also be defined as cross-sectional area of the flow multiplied by the velocity of flow.

27. What is the principle of conservation of mass? The principle of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in non-nuclear processes. 28. What is the equation of continuity of flow? The equation of continuity of flow is based on the principle of conservation of mass. It states that the mass of fluid entering the stream tube from one end must be equal to the mass of fluid leaving the stream tube at the other end per unit time and there is no accumulation of fluid in the stream tube. 29. Derive the equation of continuity for one-dimensional steady flow based on stream tube concept. The continuity equation can be derived based on stream tube with the following assumptions: (1) steady flow (2) uniform flow (3) incompressible flow and (4) onedimensional flow.

32. What do you understand from rotation and vorticity of fluid particles? A flow is said to be rotational if fluid particles are rotating about their own mass centres. The rotation of a fluid particle at a point is specified by funding the average angular velocity of two perpendicular linear elements of fluid particle. Rotation of the fluid particle takes place about an axis which is perpendicular to the plane formed by these two elements of the fluid. The sense of rotation is given by the right hand rule for the motion of a right-hand screw. Vorticity of a rotation flow has twice the value of the rotation of the flow. Both rotation and vorticity are vectors. 33. Derive the expressions for rotation and vorticity in terms of velocities in x, y and z directions.

Explain the physical significance and use of the term 'stream function' (UPTU 2001-2, 2007-8, 2008-9) The flow rate (q) between two stream lines per unit thickness and time is known as stream function (v). Physical significance of stream function. Consider a flow between two stream lines AA' and BB' which is two-dimensional steady and incompressible. The flow (q) per unit time and thickness between these stream lines AA' and BB' is stream function IV. The flow across points A and B will remain same = iv- = q irrespective of their joining line which may be AB or ACB or ADB.

The flow always takes place from higher to lower pressure side. This potential difference resulting into the flow of fluid is known as velocity potential and it is denoted by (1).

What is the condition of flow net to be a set of square? A flow net is a graphical representation of stream lines and equipotential lines. The stream lines in flow net show the direction of flow which the equipotential lines join the equal velocity potential (0) points in the flow. Flow net provides a simple graphical technique for studying flows which are two dimensional and irrotational as compared to mathematical calculation techniques which are difficult and tedious. In flow net, the stream lines are spaced such that the rate of flow q is same between each successive pair of streamline. The flow net can be drawn for irrotational flows. tp is constant along stream line and (p. is constant along equipotential line as shown in the figure. If q is the flow and V1 & V2 are velocities along streamline tyi and tv2 q = V1 An1 = V20n2 = constant Where An1 and An2 are the distances between two streamlines V1 _ One An1 V2

(UPTU — 2004-5)
Three methods are used for drawing the flow nets which are: (1) analytical method (2) graphical method and (3) electrical analogy method. In analytical method, flow net can be drawn be finding the expression for 0 and iv in terms of x and y which can be plotted. In graphical method, the flow passage is equally devided to draw stream lines and then equally potential lines are drawn orthogonally to the stream line. In electric analogy method, equipotential lines are drawn using null method. Stream lines are later drawn orthogonally. 50. Explain graphical method of drawing flow net. The graphical method is carried out as under: (1) The flow passage between the boundaries is devided into suitable number of equal parts and a set of stream lines are drawn enclosing these equal parts. (2) Equipotential lines are drawn orthogonally to those stream lines such that each block of flow net is almost a square.

Conducting boundary
III 10 volt Electrical analogy method
The apparatus consists of a vessel with non-conducting walls containing electrolyte which can conduct electricity. Two copper plates with voltage supply are used to obtain current flow. The applied voltage (10 volt.) gradually falls from positive plate to negative plate in the electrolyte. The equal potential lines can be ascertained with the help of galvanometer by finding null points on the potential meter with the help of probe. After drawing equal potential lines, stream lines which are orthogonal to the equal potential can be ascertained. By drawing stream lines and potential lines, flow net can be made. 53. Describe the uses and limitations of the flow nets? (UPTU 2003-4) The uses of flow nets are: 1. The flow problems in which boundary configuration and flow conditions are such that the mathematical analysis is difficult can be solved by flow nets. Flow through a Francis water turbine rotor is analysed easily by flow nets. 2. Once the flow net is ascertained, it can be used for different discharges. 3. It is possible to ascertain the velocity of different places in flow net, if velocity at some points in the flow net are given 4. Flow nets can be used to ascertain the seepage and upwards hydraulic pressure force acting below the hydraulic structure like in a dam. 5. Efficient boundary shapes of blades of turbine can be designed by the use of flow nets. 6. Flow nets help in the identification of likely points of stagnation and separation which may occur in the flow so that the design of boundary shape can be improved to avoid these points of stagnation & separation in the flow of fluid.
338
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
The limitation of flow nets are: 1. Flow net analysis cannot be applied where viscous forces are predominant such as close to the boundary surface. 2. Flow net analysis cannot be applied to the flow in sharply diverging flow passages. 3. Flow nets cannot show accurately the formation of wakes, resulting from the separation and eddy formation. 54. What is the difference between velocity and acceleration vector of fluid particle? The velocity vector is always in tangential direction to the path of the fluid particle. However the acceleration vector may also be in the normal direction in addition the direction of velocity vector. For example, when fluid is flowing in a curved path, the velocity at any point is tangential but the acceleration is both tangential and normal. Velocity vector is given by V (x, y, z, t) and acceleration vector by a = dV dt or

acceleration. In steady flow at = 0, hence convective or local acceleration is zero. In Dt uniform flow as = 0, hence transport acceleration. However for both steady and uniform Ds flows, acceleration is zero. 55. What is normal acceleration when a fluid particle moves along a curvilinear path? Find acceleration vector also. When a fluid particle moves along a curvilinear path, its velocity (Vs) continuously changes direction along the path. Hence the moving particle has to have an acceleration component normal to the direction of flow while moving on the curvilinear path.

57. Distinguish between forced vortex and free vortex flow.
(UPTU-2005-6)
Forced vortex flow: Fixed vortex flow is defined as a flow in which some external torque is used to rotate the fluid mass. The fluid mass in forced vortex rotates at constant angular velocity w. Then the tangential velocity of a fluid particle is Vo = w • r Where r is the radius of fluid particle from the axis of rotation. Examples of forced vortex are: (1) flow of fluid inside the impeller of centrifugal pump (2) flow of water through the runner of a turbine and (3) a liquid mass in a container rotated about its central axis with constant angular velocity.

Free vortex flow: When the fluid mass rotates without application of external torque, then it is called free vortex flow. The fluid in free vortex rotates due to the rotation imparted to the fluid previously. Example of free vortex are: (1) a whirlpool in a river (2) flow of fluid through a hole provided at the bottom of a vessel (3) flow around a circular bend and (4) flow in casing of centrifugal pump. 58. At a point on a stream line, the velocity is 3 m/s and the radius of curvature is 9 m. If the rate of increase of velocity along the stream line at this point is 1 m/s2, then the total acceleration at this point would be: (a) 1 m/s2 (b) 3 m/s2 (c)1 m/s2 (d)

INTRODUCTION A fluid in motion is subjected to several forces due to which the flow phenomenon of the fluid has variation in its acceleration and its energy content. Hence, fluid dynamics is concerned with the study of the fluid motion along with the forces and energies involved in the flow. The forces acting on a fluid mass can be (i) body or volume force (ii) surface force and (iii) line force. The body forces are proportional to fluid volume which include forces such as (i) weight and (ii) centrifugal force. The surface forces depend upon surface area which include forces such as (i) pressure force (ii) shear force and (iii) force due to turbulence. The linear forces depend upon the length. Surface tension is an example of linear force. The resultant force on any fluid element is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration of the fluid element as per Newton's second law of motion. The acceleration and resultant force acting on the fluid element must be along the same line of action. In Euler 's equation of motion, forces acting on the fluid mass due to gravity and pressure are taken into consideration. In an ideal, incompressible and steady flow, the total energy
Fluid Dynamics-I
373
at any point of the fluid remains constant and is called Bernoulli's equation. The rate of flow can be measured using devices whose workings are based on Bernoulli's equation. The devices are (i) venturi meter (ii) orifice meter and (iii) Pitot tube. 1. What is the difference between kinematics and fluid dynamics? Kinematics is the study of the velocity and acceleration of fluid particles in a fluid flow without taking into the consideration the forces causing the flow. The fluid dynamics is the study of fluid motion with the forces causing the flow. 2. What law is used for studying dynamic behaviour of the fluid flow? What are the assumptions made for the fluid while applying this law? The dynamic behaviour of the fluid flow is analyzed by the Newton's second law of motion which relates acceleration of the fluid flow with the applied forces on the fluid. The fluid is assumed to be (1) incompressible and (2) non-viscous while applying this law. According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force 'F' acting on a fluid element is equal to mass `in' of the fluid element multiplied by the acceleration in the direction of the applied force. F=mXa
3. What are the forces acting on the fluid flow? What these equations of motion are called when (1) force of compressibility is negligible, (2) force of turbulence is negligible, and (3) force of viscous force is negligible? In a fluid flow, the forces acting on a fluid element are: (1) Gravity force (Fg) (2) Viscous force (Fr) (3) Pressure force (Fp) (4) Turbulence force (Fe) (5) Compressibility force (Fe) Ftotal= Fg Fy ± Fp ± Ft ± Fc
1. In case compressibility force is negligible, then total force acting is Ftotai = Fg Fy ± Fp ± Ft This resulting equation of motion is known as Reynolds's equation of motion. 2. In case turbulence force `F1' is negligible, the resulting equation of motion is known as Navier Stoke's equation. The forces due to gravity, pressure and viscosity are taken into consideration. 3. In case viscous force is negligible when the fluid is ideal, the resulting equation of motion is known as Euler's equation of motion. The force due to gravity and pressure are taken into consideration. 4. What are the different forms of energies in a flowing liquid? (Osmania University)
374
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
There are three forms of energy in flowing liquid: (1) Potential Energy. The potential energy is due to the position of the fluid element from a datum line. PE = mgh where h = height from datum line. (2) Kinetic Energy. The kinetic energy is due to the velocity of flowing liquid. If ' is the velocity, then kinetic energy (KE) — m v2 2g (3) Pressure Energy.
Pressure energy is due to the pressure of liquid.
The pressure energy = Pressure x Volume = P x m 2
Total Energy = mgh + my + mp 2 Energy/unit fluid weight = P + V 2 + h 2g pg Total head — P + 1 V 2 + h pg 2 g Fluid element

/ Datum 5. What is the concept of control volume and control surface? The laws of physics are basically stated for a particle or a control mass system. The statements of the conservation of mass, momentum and energy are based on control mass or closed system. However fluid flows cannot have control mass. Therefore, the concept of control volume becomes necessary so that the principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy can be applied on fluid flow. Reynolds transport theorem is used to relate the control volume concept with the concept of a control mass system in terms of general properties of the system.
Fluid Dynamics-I

Control volume ----------
Control surface
Control Volume A control volume is defined as an identified volume fixed in space. The control volume is bounded by a closed surface as shown in the figure which is called control surface. The shape of the controlled volume may be taken as parallelopiped or hollow cylinder or any other convenient shape. The fluid can enter and leave the control volume across the controlled surface. The fluid can also transfer mass, momentum and energy through the controlled surface. The net rate of change of fluid mass, momentum and energy across the control volume is called mass flux, momentum flux and energy flux. 6. What is Reynolds transport theorem ? The laws of motion are stated for a body having a lump of mass. In fluid mechanics, it is not possible to identify a lump of mass since it undergoes continuous deformation. It is easier to consider a control volume. Reynolds transport theorem is meant to relate the control volume concept with that of a control mass system in terms of general properties of the system. Reynolds transport theorem states that the time rate of increase of property N within a control mass system is equal to the time rate of increase of property N within the control volume plus the net rate of afflux of the property N across the control surface.

Eurler's equation is derived considering the motion of the fluid element along a stream line. Consider a stream line in which flow is taking place in S-direction as shown in the figure.

Bernoulli's theorem. Bernoulli's theorem states that in an ideal, incompressible and steady flow, the total energy at any point of the fluid remains constant. The total energy of the fluid consists of : (1) pressure energy (2) Kinetic energy and (3) potential energy, Hence: P V 2 + z = Constant pg 2g 12. What are modified Bernoullie's equations when: (1) real fluids are used, (2) Kinetic energy correction factor is applied, (3) energy is taken from flow and (4) some energy is added to the flow? Real fluids. Real fluids are viscous and they offer some resistance to the fluid flow. Hence there is some loss of energy head between two section of the fluid flow.

3. Pitot tube. It is a device used for measuring the velocity of a flow at any point in a pipe or channel. 14. What is a pitot tube? How is it used to measure velocity of flow at any point in a pipe (UPTU - 2001-2, UPTU - 2005-6) or channel? A pitot tube is a simple device used for measuring velocity of flow at any point in a pipe or channel. It works on the principle that if the velocity of flow at any point becomes zero, the pressure at that point increases due to the conversion of kinetic energy into pressure energy. This is the reason why pitot tube is also called stagnation or impact tube.
Static head = H Dynamic head = h Stagnation head = H + h Flow
PITOT-TUBE
In the simplest form, a pitot tube consists of a transparent glass tube bent through 90° with both ends open as shown in the figure above. The diameter of tube is kept large enough to avoid any capillary effect. One end of the pitot tube (called body) is inserted into the flow and it is aligned with the direction of the flow. The other end (called stem) is vertical and it is open to the atmosphere. The liquid impacting the body of the pitot tube stops flowing and loses its kinetic energy which results into the increase of the static pressure at the end of the body. The liquid in the pitot tube starts rising due to this increased static pressure. The velocity can be determined by measuring the liquid rise in the pitot tube. Consider point `1' in free flow and point '2' at inlet to the pitot tube. If we apply Bernoulli's equation: T72

P1 + v 12 +z1 — P2 + v 2 +Z2 pg 2g pg 2g Now z1 = z2 as both points are at the same level, V2 = 0, h= rise in pitot tube and H = statical head (pressure head at point '1') H+

V1 is theoretical flow velocity which should be determined by the pitot tube. However actual velocity measured is found to be less than V1. A correction is therefore applied which is called coefficient of velocity (Cy). Hence flow velocity: V = Cv V 2gh Measurement of velocity in pipes: For measuring velocity of flow, pitot tube is used with piezometer tube in following arrangements: (1) Pitot tube with piezometer tube at upstream is shown below. The piezometer tube measures static heart of the fluid by rise of the level in it while difference of level in pitot tube and piezometer gives dynamic head.

The pitot tube is suitable for measuring velocity of the flow in open channel or used for measuring speed of flying aircraft. Special type of pitot tube known as pitot static tube is used with aircraft. This consists of two concentric tubes. Inside tube faces the flow of air and it acts similar to pitot tube i.e. converting the kinetic energy of air into high pressure energy. The outer tube has openings perpendicular to the flow of air and it measures the static pressure of air (low pressure side). These two tubes are connected individually to each limb of the manometer so that the manometer level difference is the dynamic head (h) Speed of aircraft = V =

Cd, C, and C„ are hydraulic coefficients which are used to find the actual discharge, contraction and velocity of the liquid passing out of a orifice in the form a jet. The jet goes on contracting from the mouth of orifice upto a distance of about one half of the orifice diameter. Later it begins to expand. The place where jet has least cross-sectional area is known as vena contracta. The velocity at vena contracta is maximum. Coefficient of Velocity (C,,). It is the ratio of the actual velocity of the liquid jet at venacontracta to the theoretical value of the liquid jet. Since theoretical velocity is determined without any loss, its value is always larger than the actual velocity of the liquid jet. Therefore the coefficient of velocity is always less than one.

The value of C„ varies from 0.95 to 0.99. Coefficient of contraction (Cc). It is the ratio of the area of the jet at vena-contracta to the area of the orifice. Since the jet keeps on converging after passing orifice upto venacontracta, the cross-section area of the vena contracta is minimum. The coefficient of contraction is always less than one.

The liquid flowing past through an orifice in the form of a jet of liquid is converging type. The jet has a minimum area of cross-section at a distance of about half the diameter of the orifice and this section is called vena contracta. At this section, the stream lines are straight and parallel to each other besides being perpendicular to the plane of the orifice. Beyond this section of vena contracta, the liquid jet diverges and it bends towards downward direction due to the effect of gravity. Static Head (H) = 9 m Stagnation Head = (H + h) = 12 m h = dynamic head h = 12 — 9 = 3 m

1. Coefficient of discharge The experiment setup for determining coefficient of velocity is as shown in the figure. It consists of water tank in which water is maintained at constant head. The water is allowed to flow out from the water tank through an orifice and the flowed out is collected in a measuring tank for a definite time 't'. The height of collected water in the measuring tank in time duration of 't' is measured. The actual discharge in time 't' is: Volume collected in measuring tank time Axh t where A = area of cross-section of measuring tank and h = height of water collected in it.

Orifice is an opening in a wall of a vessel or tank through which fluid discharges from high pressure side to a low pressure side. The orifice is provided to measure the discharge of the fluid from a tank or reservoir. The orifice may be provided for this purpose at the side or at bottom of the vessel or tank. For a long pipeline, the orifice is placed between the flanges to measure the flow.

Orifices can be circular, rectangular or triangular. (3) Shape of upstream edge. Orifices can be sharp edged, round cornered or bell mouthed. (4) Discharge conditions. Orifice can be (1) discharging free when it has liquid at one side only. Such orifice is discharging in free atmosphere as shown in the figure (2) drowned orifice when it has liquid at both sides while discharging. The orifice may be partially drowned or fully drowned (submerged or partially submerged).

25. What are different mouthpiece and their uses? (IIT Kharagpur) Or What is a mouthpiece? Why mouthpieces are preferred over orifices? How can coefficient of contraction be increased? Mouthpiece is an extension of an orifice, whose length is two to three times the jet diameter. Mouthpieces are preferred as the discharge can be increased by making them run full of liquid, thereby increasing the coefficient of contraction G. The different types of mouthpieces are1. Short tube or cylindrical external mouthpiece. The vena contracta takes place at a point about one half diameter from the orifice. The mouthpiece in a from of short tube is fixed to the orifice having length of about 1.5 to 2 times the diameter of orifice so that vena contracta of the jet occurs inside the short tube and also jet is fully developed inside the tube before discharging out. Hence the coefficient of contraction becomes unity.

The jet coming out from the mouthpiece in this case does not touch the sides of the mouthpieces. This is the reason why it is called running free mouthpiece. In running full Borda mouthpiece, the length of the tube is kept three times to the diameter of the tube. The diameter of the liquid jet coming out from the tube has same diameter. This is the reason why it is called running full Borda mouthpiece. If the mouthpiece is running full, vacuum pressure is created at vena contracta which increases the velocity as well as discharge.

A convergent and divergent mouthpiece has converging shape upto vena contracta and after vena contracta it has diverging shape. The shape of the mouthpiece is converging and diverging similar to the stream lined flow in the liquid jet so that losses due to sudden enlargement of the jet are avoided. Due the divergence after vena contracta, the velocity at vena contracta increases. Hence partial vacuum is created at vena contracta due to divergence. However divergence cannot be increased much as then separation of flow may take place. There is a maximum outer diameter of the mouthpiece to avoid the separation of flow. Air pressure head = Ho

In this a short cylindrical tube is attached to the orifice in such a way that the tube is projected inwardly in the liquid tank. Hence it is also known as internal mouthpiece. In running free Borda's mouthpiece the length of tube is kept equal to the diameter of the mouthpiece. In this condition, the jet of liquid comes out from the mouthpiece without touching sides of the mouthpiece. The cross-section area of the jet (a,) is lesser than the cross-sectional area of the mouthpiece (a) i.e. a > a,. The flow through the mouthpiece is taking place due to pressure intensity at the mouthpiece which is equal to pgH.

36. What is a weir? What is the difference between a weir & notch? or Distinguish between weir and notch? (UPTU - 2005-6) Flow through an open channel takes place under atmospheric pressure. The motive force to create the flow is derived from the slope of the bed/ground of the channel and the kinetic energy possessed by the flowing liquid. A weir is an obstruction placed in an open channel over which the flow occurs. The weir is generally in the form of a vertical wall with a sharp edge at the top, running all the way across the open channel. When the liquid flows over the weir, the height of the liquid above the sharp edge of the weir bears a relationship with the amount of discharge across it. This is the reason why weirs are widely used for discharge measuring purpose. 1
A notch is a sharp edged device which permits the liquid to go through it while liquid downstream exposed to the atmospheric pressure. The water may be flowing out from a tank or reservoir by providing a notch in the way of a depression in the side of a tank or a reservoir. The only difference between a weir and a rectangular notch is that a weir runs all the way across the channel but a notch needs not run full way across the channel. Theoretically a weir or notch may be regarded as special form of wide orifice in which the free water surface does not touch the upper edge of the orifice. 37. What is a spillway? When water is made to flow over a dam like a weir, it is known as spillway. The flowing water is in fact excess water which cannot be stored in the reservoir. The spillway can be (1) open spillway and (2) syphon spillway. In syphon spillway, water level at upstream is connected to the downstream by the help of a syphon made with pipes. When water level rises above the crest of the spillway, water starts flowing down through the syphon. Water entering the syphon strikes at point 'X' and fills up the syphon fully upto downstream level. However there is space in the kink at point ' where air is entrapped. The flowing water in the syphon starts sucking the trapped air, thereby creating a vacuum at point Y. The vacuum increases the rate of flow over the crest of the spillway. The increased flow sucks completely the air in the kink, thereby making the syphon to operate fully.

The upper surface or edge of the weir over which the water flows is known as crest or sill of the weir: The overflowing sheet of water over the weir is called nappe or vein. If the nappe discharges into air, the weir is said to have a free discharge. If the discharge takes place above the sill or crest, the weir is said to be drowned or submerged weir. It can be totally drowned or partially drowned depending upon nappe is above or below the crest at downstream. 39. Find the expression for discharge over a rectangular weir. (UPTU 2008-9)

The advantage of triangular notch are — 1. The discharge can be measured by reading the height of the water 2. The discharge can easily be found out for notch having Q = 90° using formula Q = 1.417 H512 3. Triangular notch can give accurate results even for small discharge as compared to rectangular notch because the height of water in a V-notch is more as compared to a rectangular notch. 4. The velocity approach in case of triangular notch can be neglected 5. Triangular notch does not require ventilation at downstream side. 45. What do you understand from the ventilation of weirs? What are different types of nappe? Weir
Nappe Ventilation holes
Space where air is trapped
Ventilation of Weir When the water is flowing over a rectangular weir having no end contractions, the neppe touches the side walls of the channel. Since neppe falls away from the weir wall, a space is created by the nappe with the weir where air trapped as shown in the figure. When this trapped air is carried away by the flowing water, a negative pressure is created beneath the nappe. The negative pressure draws the lower side of the nappe towards the surface of the weir wall. Hence more water is drawn from the channel through weir due to the negative pressure below the nappe. Hence discharge is actually more than that is measured. The types of nappe are: (a) Free nappe. Holes are made through channel walls at the place just below the nappe which are connected through a pipe to the open to atmosphere. (b) Depressed nappe. The air is left below the nappe and pressure below nappe is negative. Due to this, discharge is 6 to 7% more than what is obtained from the free nappe. (c) Clinging nappe. The water stream clings to the downstream face of the weir and nappe has no air beneath it. Discharge in this case is about 25 to 30% more than what that can be obtained from the free nappe.

46. What is end contraction? When a weir is straight and it extends over the full width of the channel, then this weir is Channel Weir with end contraction (width of nappe < width of the weir)
Rectangular Weir with end contraction
called weir without end contraction or suppressed weir. As the sides of the wall of the channel will suppress any end effect. The measurements made by the use of formula are accurate. If weir width is less than the width of the channel, it is known as weir with end contractions. The correction factors are to be applied to the calculated discharges for fmding the accurate results. The end contraction results into the decrease of the width of the neppe. It can be one end contraction, two end contractions or number of contraction as shown in the figure. The approximate value of end contraction is 0.1 x H where H is the height of the water over the crest. The effective width of the nappe = n x 0.1 H where n = number of contractions Weir as seen from top

Such slope increases discharge through the triangular portion of the weir which would have otherwise decreased the discharge in case the side walls were vertical as in the rectangular weir. Hence such trapezoidal weir does not have end contractions. 48. What do you understand from the broad crested weir? Or What is the difference between a broad crested and narrow crested weir. Explain with a neat sketch. (UPTU - 2006-7) 4
Broad crested weir
Weirs which are not sharp crested are called broad crested weirs. Such weirs generally form a part of dam and these weirs are then called spillways. The thickness of weir in a broad crested weirs is more than 0.47 H (H = height of water over the crest)
4I 4
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
49. What are drowned or submerged weirs? Drowned weir
Drowned or submerged weir When the downstream water level of a weir nappe is higher than the crest of the weir, the weir is said to be drowned or submerged weir. For example, a spillway of a dam when drowned during the floods becomes a submerged weir. The sluice gates installed in concrete structure in a river control act as submerged weirs when the gates are raised and water flows through the opening. Such weirs have great discharging capacity, thereby, preventing any flooding of the area at upstream. The discharge over a submerged weir is calculated by dividing the nappe in two parts. The upper part acts as a free weir with head as H1 — H2 and the lower part acts as a submerged weir under a head of 1/2. 50. What is velocity of approach? The water approaches to the notch or weir with slight velocity which is called the velocity of approach. Generally for slight approach velocity, this velocity is neglected. However when this velocity is appreciable, an additional head (ha) of
V0 2 (where V0 = approach g
velocity) is added to the static head as shown in the figure so that the actual increased discharge matches with the calculated discharge by the formula. V2 h= a 2g

70. What are the practical applications of weirs? The practical application of weirs are: (1) Measurement of discharges. (2) Anicut, raised weir or barrage are constructed and regulated on this principle. (3) Discharge through bridge openings specially afflux and back water curve can be determined. (4) Orgee weir is possible as per flow. 71. What is an anicut, barrage or raised weir? An anicut is a masonry wall or dam built across a river for raising the water level on the upstream side so that raised water can flow into the canals emanating from the river. Hence anicut is nothing but a weir over which the water can flow when water level is higher than the crest of the anicut. Examples are Farraka barrage and Okhla barrage. It is possibly to raise the water level at upstream of the river with the help of wooden shutters or flash boards which can be fixed on the crest of the weir. Such weirs are called raised weirs. 72. Explain (1) afflux and (2) backwater curve
432
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
A river bridge is constructed over abutments and piers. These structures are obstruction to the flow of water. As water has lesser width to flow due to the presence of piers and abutments, the level of water rises at upstream of the river. Such rise of water level is called afflux. The rise exists upto a certain distance on the upstream side and it gradually decreases upstream. Hence the water surface at upstream does not remain in horizontal plane but it curves longitudinally with concavity upwards. Such a curved surface is called a backwater curve. 73. What is an aquaduct? It can be (1) a bridge for conveying water of a canal above the ground so that a road can pass under the bridge and (2) a coarse from conveying water under the ground which may have road or a structure so that water has to flow under it. 74. Find the discharge through a fully submerged orifice having width 3 m if the difference of water level on both sides of the orifice is 60 cm. The height of the water from top and bottom edge of the orifice are 3.6 m and 3.9 m respectively. Assume Cd = 0.6. Discharge from a fully submerged orifice is: Q = Cd X b x (H2 — Hi) x V2gH Given H = 0.8, H1 = 3.6 m, H2 = 3.9 m b = 3 m and Cd = 0.6 Q = 0.6 x 3 x (3.9 — 3.6) 1/ 2 x 9.81 x 0.8 = 2.14 m3/s 75.

INTRODUCTION The fundamental principle of dynamics is Newton's second law of motion. The second law of motion states that time rate change of momentum contained in a volume of fluid is proportional to the applied force and this change of momentum takes place in the direction of force. This is called impulse momentum principle which is very useful principle in addition to the continuity and the energy principles. The impulse momentum pirnciple finds vast application in the solution of several fluid flow problems. The impulse momentum equation is used for the flow analysis of (i) pipe bends and reducers (ii) jet propulsions (iii) fixed and moving vanes (iv) propellers of ships, aircraft and helicopters (v) head loss due to sudden enlargement or contraction in pipe system and (vi) hydraulic jump during flow in open channel. 1. What is the fundamental principle of dynamics? The fundamental principle of dynamics is Newton's second law of motion. The second law states that the time rate of change of momentum contained in a volume is proportional to the applied force and this change of momentum takes place in the direction of force.

According to this law, the resultant external force acting on a mass particle along any arbitrarily chosen direction is equal to time rate change of its linear momentum in the same direction. Dynamic force = Rate of change of momentum in the same direction or
F = dT (my) where m = mass, v = velocity and T = time d
2. What is impulse momentum principle? Or Describe the momentum equation. (UPTU-2002-3, 2007-8) The impulse momentum principle states that the force F acting on a fluid mass m in short (d (mv) in the direction of force. dT ) The impulse momentum principle is based on the law of conservation of momentum which states that the net force acting on a fluid mass is equal to the change in momentum of flow per unit time in the direction of net force. interval of time dT is equal to the change of momentum

or F • dr = d (my) The above is impulse momentum equation. 3. State the practical applications of the momentum equation. (UPTU 2007-8) The momentum equation is used to determine the resultant force exerted by a flowing fluid on any surface when the fluid changes its magnitude or direction or both magnitude and direction while flowing on the surface. The decrease of the momentum of the fluid means that fluid is giving energy to the surface as in turbines while the increase of the momentum of the fluid means that fluid is taking the energy from the surface as in pumps. The momentum equation is used for the flow analysis of — (1) pipe bends and reducers (2) jet propulsions (3) fixed and moving vanes (4) propellers of ships, aircraft and helicopters (5) headloss due to sudden enlargement or contraction for a flow in pipe system. (6) hydraulic jump during flow in open channel.

When a fluid particle is moving in a straight direction, it has linear momentum. However when a fluid particle moves along a curved path such that its distance from the axis of rotation changes with times, then the distance from the axis of rotation of the particle will be different at different positions of the particle. Hence, the moment of momentum of the particle will change from the axis of rotation. The moment of momentum is also known as angular momentum. As per the equation of moment of momentum or angular momentum, when a fluid moves in curved path it exerts a torque on the curved surface which is equal to the rate of change of angular momentum of the fluid. 18. Derive an expression for the moment of momentum or angular momentum. Axis of rotation
V,.2 2
Consider a particle A is moving on a curved path with respect to the axis of rotation passing through point 0 as shown in the figure. The velocity V of the particle can be resolved into
Fluid Dynamics-II
46 I
two components viz. (1) Vr is normal velocity acting along the radius r and towards the centre of rotation 0 and (2) V0 is tangential velocity acting normal to the radius r. The angular momentums of the particle at point 1 and 2 are: Angular momentum at point 1 = moment of the momentum = r1 (m Ved Angular momentum at point 2 = r2 (m • V92) Change of angular momentum = m (r2 V02 — r1 V01) If the change of angular momentum takes place in time t Rate of change of angular momentum = 1 m (r2 V6 — r1 V0i) Now the rate of change momentum is equal to torque (T). T= —1 m(r2 V02 — ri V0i) But
m — = pgQ = mass of fluid flowing per unit time T = pgQ (r2 Ve2 — r1 V01)
The toque T is the toque exerted by some external agency on the fluid as the angular momentum is increasing. In centrifugal pump, the torque is exerted on the fluid by the centrifugal pump when it makes the water to move on the curved path. Similarly a compressor exerts torque on air and a propeller exerts torque on air. Incase, the fluid is made to move on a circular path, then r1 = r2 = r and torque is T = pgQ r (V02 — V01) In case the angular momentum of the fluid decreases, the torque is exerted by the fluid on the curved surface. For example a turbine in which torque is extracted from the fluid having higher inlet angular momentum. The equation — T = pg • Q • r (V02 — V01) is called the equation of moment of momentum or angular momentum. 19. Differentiate (1) rectilinear flow (2) radial flow and (3) rotary or vortex motion. Rectilinear flow: Rectilinear flow is one dimensional flow in which streamlines are parallel. Radial flow: Radial flow is the flow in which the fluid flow is in radial direction in such a way that pressure and velocity at any point changes with respect to distance of that point from central axis only. In this case the velocity of flow is in radial direction and the flow may take place radially inward, or radially outward from the centre. The flow is two dimensional and streamlines are not parallel.

Rotary or Vortex motion: A mass of fluid in rotation about a fixed axis is called vortex. In this flow, the velocity of rotating particles is acting in tangential direction: Also the whole fluid mass rotates about an axis. The rotating flow can be (1) free vortex and (2) forced vortex. In forced vortex, the fluid mass rotates without exerting any external torque (wr = constant). The rotation is taking due to fluid pressure or gravity or rotation already possessed by the fluid mass. The common example of free vortex are: (1) whirlpool (2) flow in centrifugal casing after emerging from propeller (3) flow in turbine casing before entering the guide vanes. In forced vortex, the fluid mass is made to rotate by means of some external agency. For example, spinning the vessel containing liquid about a vertical axis.

478
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
It works on the principle of Bernoulli's equation. The velocity of flow is increased by reducing the cross-section of the flow, thereby reducing the pressure head at the narrowed section. The pressure difference at normal section and narrowed section of the pipe can be measured which enables to determine the flow through the pipe. 37. Describe the construction of a venturimeter.

Venturimeter
Venturimeter consists of a short length of gradual convergence and a longer length of gradual divergence. The angle of convergence is 16 to 20° and angle of divergence is 6 to 10°. A short length connecting converging and diverging section is called the throat. A pressure tapping '1' is provided at a location before the convergence commences and another pressure tapping '2' is provided at the throat section of the venturimeter. The pressure difference (pi — p2) between the two tappings is measured by means of a u-tube manometer. The manometer may contain water or mercury as the manometric fluid depending upon the pressure difference expected. 38. Describe the construction of a flow nozzle. Gauge

43. What is a rotometer? A rotometer is a device for measuring flow in a vertical segment of a pipe system. If consists of an accurately ground glass tube diverging upwards in the direction of flow. The tube has a float as shown in the figure. For a particular flow, the position of the float depends upon three forces: (1) drag force acting upwards (2) buoyance force acting upwards and (3) weight force acting downwards. Hence the position of the float is related to the flow. Spiral slits are cut on a part of the float to make it rotate so that it is stable against tilting. Diverging tube

INTRODUCTION In laminar flow, the fluid particles move along straight parallel paths in layers. There is no mixing of fluid particles between two adjacent layers. The shape of lamina (layer) depends upon the shape of the boundary through which flow is taking place. In laminar flow, the fluid particles move in unmixing layers or streams in smooth continuous paths. Soldiers marching in orderly manner is an analogy to laminar flow. Laminar flow occurs at low velocity so that forces due to viscosity are predominant in comparison to inertial forces. The viscosity of fluid therefore induces relative motion within the fluid when fluid layers slide over each other. The gradient of velocity between the layers give rise to shear stresses. The shear stress in the fluid varies from point to point. It is maximum at the boundary and it gradually decreases with increase in the distance from the boundary. The shear stresses in between the
494

layers develop a resistance to flow. The pressure of the fluid gradually drops in the direction of the flow. There is always head loss in viscous flow.
1. What is a laminar flow (viscous flow)? Laminar flow is a flow in which flow takes place in layers. There is no mixing of fluid particles between any two adjacent layers. The shape of lamina (layer) depends upon the shape of the boundary through which flow is taking place. In laminar flow, the fluid particles move in unmixing layers or streams and follow a smooth continuous path. The paths of fluid particles retain their relative positions at successive cross-sections of the flow passage. There is no transverse displacement of fluid particle. Soldiers marching in orderly manner is an analogy to laminar flow. The shape of laminae if flow takes place between two parallel flat plates are plane sheets parallel to each other as shown in figure. In case the flow takes place through a circular pipe, the laminae become concentric cylindrical sheets as shown in the figure.

2. What are the conditions which help the flow to be laminar? The flow will be laminar when: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
Velocity of flow is low Diameter of pipe is small Viscosity of the fluid is high Density of the fluid is less Reynolds number is less than 2000 for flow in pipes.
3. Can Bernoulli's equation be applied to viscous or laminar flow? Due to the presence of viscosity, real fluids differ from non-viscous ideal fluids. Due to viscosity, each fluid layer resists the relative translation motion of adjacent fluid layers. Some energy is required to overcome this resistance which is converted to thermal energy as a loss. The Bernoulli's equation has been derived for flow of an ideal fluid (non-viscous fluid in earlier chapter). However Bernoulli's equation as such cannot be applied for viscous flow. Therefore the Bernoulli's equation in the modified form is used in analyzing the flow of real

4. What are the various factors on which friction resistance in laminar flow is dependent and independent? The friction resistance depends upon: (1) Velocity of flow (2) Area of surface in contact (3) Temperature of the fluid The friction resistance does not depend upon: (1) Nature of surface in contact (2) Pressure of flow 5. What is turbulent flow? When the velocity of flow reaches a certain limit such that the fluid particles no longer move in layers or laminae. Violent mixing of fluid particles now takes place due to which they move in random manner. As a result the velocity at any point varies both in magnitude and direction from instant to instant. In turbulent flow, the motion of fluid particles is irregular. The fluid particles move along erratic and unpredictable path. The velocity of fluid particles fluctuate both along the direction of flow and also perpendicular to the flow. A crowd of commuters on a railway station rushing for boarding a train is an analogy of the turbulent flow. The flow in pipes having Reynolds number 4000 and above is always turbulent. 7--'

6. What is Reynolds number? How is it useful? Reynolds number is the ratio of inertia force to the viscous force. It is a dimensionless number and it is given by: d Re = pV where p = density, V = velocity, P d = diameter or distance and /../ = viscosity Reynolds number is very useful for:
496 Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics (1) Predicting whether flow is laminar or turbulent (2) Finding out the coefficient of friction (1) in order to determine the loss of head due to friction. 7. Explain the experiment setup to study different types of flow. or What is Reynolds experiment to demonstrate laminar and turbulent flow? The setup consists of a tank full of water. A bell mouthed glass tube is fitted at bottom of the tank. One end of the glass tube in the water and other end have a valve for controlling flow in glass tube and flow falls in a measuring tank. A dye injection arrangement is fitted at the mouth of the glass tube. It consists of a small overhead tank containing a coloured liquid having same sp gravity as that of water. The head of water is maintained constant in the tank. The flow of water from the water tank through the glass tube is now regulated by opening the regulating valve. The velocity of flow depended upon the opening of the regulating valve. As long the velocity in the glass tube is maintained sufficiently low, the colour band remains a thin straight line flowing along the entire length of the glass tube without mixing with water. Such flow is laminar flow. As the velocity of flow is gradually increased, a stage is reached when the dye tends to develop a wavy form. This indicates that the laminar flow has become unstable. On further increasing the velocity of flow by opening the regulating valve, the dye starts mixing with surrounding water. This flow is called turbulent flow. The intermediate flow when dye develops a wavy form is called transition from laminar to turbulent flow.

Consider two stationary parallel plates kept at a distance t apart and a viscous flow is taking place as shown in the figure.

The principle of the dashpot is based on the drag force exerted by the fluid when a moveable plate is moved parallel to a stationary and parallel plates.

Capillary tube method is based on the principle of head loss of the liquid while flowing through capillary tube of diameter d and length L. The head loss depends upon viscosity of the liquid which can be determined by measuring flow (Q). A capillary tube is attached to the tank as shown in the figure and discharge through the capillary is collected in the measuring tank for a given time.

INTRODUCTION Laminar flow occurs at low velocity when fluid flows in a pipe. The laminar flow takes place in parallel layers or laminae which are concentric cylindrical sheets in pipe flow. If flow has Reynolds number greater than 4000, then flow in pipe is no longer in parallel layers and it is said to be a turbulent flow. The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial force to viscous force. The viscous force tends to make the motion of fluid in parallel layers while inertial force tends to diffuse the fluid particles. The fluid particles are in the extreme state of disorder in turbulent flow and they do not move in layers. They move in haphazard manner and produce large-scale eddies, resulting complete mixing of the fluid. The pressure and velocity of the flow do not remain constant with time and they fluctuate in irregular way. Due to fluctuations in velocity, it is impossible to develop any theory for the analysis of turbulent flow. The analysis has to be

therefore based on formulae derived on the basis of experimental results. Due to haphazard movement of fluid particles in turbulent flow, the velocity distribution is more uniform in turbulent flow as compared to laminar flow. However, the velocity gradient near the pipe wall is very large in turbulent flow, resulting high shear stress at the wall of the pipe. The velocity distribution is paraboloid in laminar flow while it obeys power law and logarithmic law in turbulent flow. 1. What is turbulent flow? Compare velocity distribution in laminar and turbulent flow in a pipe. A fluid flow as in pipes having Reynolds number greater than 4000 is said to be a turbulent flow. The fluid particles are in the extreme state of disorder in turbulent flow and they do not flow in layers. They move in haphazard manner and produce large scale eddies, resulting complete mixing of the fluid. The pressure and velocity of the flow do not remain constant with time but they fluctuate in irregular way. Due to fluctuations in velocity, it is impossible to develop any theory for the analysis of turbulent flow. The analysis is therefore completely based on formulae derived on the basis of experimental results. The velocity distribution in laminar and turbulent flows are as shown in the figure. The velocity distribution is more uniform in turbulent flow as compared to a laminar flow. However, the velocity gradient in turbulent flow near the pipe wall is very large, resulting high shear stress at the wall of the pipe. The flatness of velocity distribution curve (slight variation in velocity) away from the wall has resulted due to the mixing of fluid layers and exchange of momentum between the layers at macroscopic level. In laminar flow, the ratio of the average velocity to the maximum is 0.5 while in turbulent flow it is greater than 0.5 and it may increase upto 0.85. The velocity distribution is paraboloid in laminar flow while it obeys power law and logarithmic law in turbulent flow. Turbulent

2. What is dominant in laminar flow? The viscosity of the fluid is dominant in laminar flow due to which it is able to suppress any tendency to turbulent conditions. 3. What is critical velocity? The critical velocity is the velocity below which all turbulence is damped out by the viscosity of the fluid. It is found that the possible upper limit of laminar flow is represented by a Reynolds number of about 2000.
Turbulent Flow

4. What are factors that can change a laminar flow into a turbulent flow? A laminar flow changes to turbulent flow when the following changes are made: (1) velocity is increased (2) diameter of a pipe is increased (3) the viscosity of fluid is decreased Reynolds was first to demonstrate that the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow depends not only on the mean velocity of the flow but also on diameter, density and viscosity pVD
. The expression
pVD
is a dimensionless quantity and this number 11 ti is called Reynolds number (Re). In case of circular pipe, the laminar flow exists upto Re < 2000 and turbulent flow exists when Re > 4000. The transition phase exists when Re is in between 2000 to 4000.
by the equation
5. Describe the mechanism of a transition from laminar to turbulent? Laminar flow becomes unstable and turbulent as velocity of flow increases. Turbulence is nothing but disorderly and irregular fluctuating motion. In laminar flow, the shear force due to viscosity is able to keep the flow in an orderly manner in layers with each layer sliding over other adjacent layer. As the velocities in laminar flows are comparatively small which account for small inertia forces and dominating viscous forces. At higher velocities, the inertia forces increase in magnitude and they start dominating over the viscous forces and a state reaches when orderly motion breaks down and turbulence starts occurring. It is also noticed that a boundary layer is laminar as a flow starts at the leading edge of a surface and it starts growing. The boundary layer tends to be unstable as it grows and passes through a region of transition before becoming turbulent. It is also noticed that a turbulent boundary layer has thin zone in the vicinity of the walls which is called laminar sublayer in which flow is laminar. Outside this sublayer, there are zones of transition and turbulence. For example, the smoke emanating from a cigarette is initially laminar and ultimately it is turbulent after passing through transition state. This shows that velocity of smoke is small initially and the velocity of smoke increases as it rises. The velocity of smoke on rise becomes critical and later velocity is so large that turbulence sets in the smoke as shown in the figure.

6. Describe the mechanism of formation of vortices. If two streams with unequal velocities join each other, this phenomenon may be represented by considering a surface of discontinuity with streams of velocity V in opposite directions on either side of it. If a slight disturbance is made to the surface of discontinuity, the streamlines above and below will converge at some points and diverge at other points. The velocities at converging points are greater (peak) and diverging points are lower (valley). Peaks and valleys disturb the surface further, resulting in the formation of vortices Stream line V S

Vortices formation
Transition of laminar flow to turbulent flow starts with appearance of spots of turbulence in the laminar flow. These spots encourage the formation of more spots of turbulence in the flow which change the structure of flow from laminar to turbulence. 7. What is the result of turbulence? Is it desirable to promote turbulence in the flow? Turbulence results in significant increase of mass, energy and momentum transfer between different parts of fluid flows. It is desirable to promote mixing of different parts of fluid flow so that heat transfer coefficient can be improved. In engineering applications, condensers and evaporators are designed to remove heat in an efficient way by the fluid flow with least possible sizes. Turbulence flows must take place through water tubes in boiler for efficient generation of stream. The turbulence increases mixing and reduces drag. In nature,
Turbulent Flow

turbulence maintains uniformity of temperature. Turbulence balances pressure differences between different locations on earth. Turbulence enables rivers to transport waste from the plains to the sea. Turbulence displaces our exhaled deoxygenated air quickly with fresh oxygenated air so that we can inhale and survive. 8. Compare the energy dissipation of laminar and turbulent flow. Turbulence is accompanied by large energy dissipation as compared to laminar flow. The turbulence motion is characterized by eddies of different sizes and wave numbers. Larger eddies have smaller wave numbers. Energy dissipation proceeds when kinetic energy of the flow is passed on from higher eddies area to area having smaller eddies and then finally from smaller eddies to area having laminar flow in the laminar sublayer near the walls. 9. Explain (1) instantaneous velocity (2) magnitude of turbulence (3) intensity of turbulence and (4) scale of turbulence.

Variation of Velocity at a Point
The turbulent flow has irregular and random nature of the movement of fluid particles. At any point of observation in a turbulent flow, the velocity and pressure fluctuate with time about a mean value. The typical variation of the velocity component in x-direction at a point in turbulent flow is shown in the figure. The instantaneous velocity (ut), mean velocity (U) and fluctuating component (u') can be related as— ut = /7 ± u' Similarly vt = 17 ± v' in y-direction wt = 1T, , ± w' in z-direction and
pt = P ± P' for pressure

The magnitude of turbulence is the arithmetic mean of root mean square value of turbulent fluctuations in three directions Magnitude of turbulence = 1'11 (u'2 3

The average size of the eddy is also necessary in addition to the intensity of turbulence to describe the turbulence fully. The average size of the eddy can be obtained from the curve of velocity variation with time. From the curve, the average time of interval at which the curve crosses the mean value line (17) is found out and this is multiplied with the root square value of the fluctuating flow component. The size of eddy is called the scale of turbulence. Energy dissipation in flow is greater when eddy is small i.e. the turbulence is in fine scale. However, in fine scale turbulence, the intensity of turbulence is high.

10. How is shear stress in turbulent flow expressed. Scientist J. Bousi developed expression for the turbulent shear stress. This expression is similar to Newton's law of viscosity and expressed as: du z= dy du is the velocity gradient from the dy boundary and q is turbulent coefficient of mixing and it is called eddy viscosity.
where

11. What do you understand from the eddy viscosity? What is total shear stress in a turbulent flow? Eddy viscosity is a property which is independent of the fluid properties except of density and it depends upon the characteristics of flow specially the turbulence of the flow. The magnitude of eddy viscosity is zero for laminar flow and it can increase to several thousand times of the coefficient of viscosity (µ) depending upon the turbulence in the flow. Hence eddy viscosity is not constant for any fluid as turbulence varies from point to point in the flow of the fluid. The total shear stress in a flow is the sum of viscous shear stress and turbulent shear stress. Total shear stress = viscous shear stress + turbulent shear stress

The ratio of eddy viscosity (q) to mass density (p) of the fluid is called kinematic eddy viscosity. The kinematic eddy viscosity is: Eddy Viscosity _ Mass density 13. Why the concept of eddy viscosity has not been used much in engineering applications? It is not possible to express the variation of eddy viscosity (q) with other properties of turbulence. This is the reason why the concept of eddy viscosity has not found much favour in engineering applications. 14. What is the Reynolds expression for turbulence shear stress? It was shown by Reynolds that there is an exchange of transverse momentum due to velocity fluctuations between adjacent layers which develope a tangential shear force between the adjacent layers. He developed an expression for the turbulent shear stress between the adjacent layers which is expressed as:

Consider two layers i.e. layer 1 and layer 2 at distance 7' and u' and v' are the fluctuating components in x and y direction. Now mass of fluid transferred to layer 1 from layer 2 through a perpendicular area AA is pv' AA. This mass of fluid has momentum of pv'AA. 14 and on transportation to layer 1 from layer 2, it acquires as new momentum pv'AA ( 4 + u'). Hence change of momentum is pv' A/1u' which gives rise to shear stress 'I" which can be expressed as: V —
p• v'
• AA • u' — pu,v AA
The above is known as Reynolds shear stress equation for turbulent flow. The shear stress varies as the fluctuating components of velocity of turbulent flow. As usually when time average value of shear stress is considered, the equation can be expressed as: I' = p u'v' 15. Explain the concept of mixing length introduced by Prandtle and state the relationship that exists between the turbulent shear stress and the mixing length. (UPTU-2001-2) or Derive an expression for shear stress on the basis of Prandtl's mixing length theory. (UPTU-2006-7) The Prandtle mixing length theory states that the mixing length (I) is the distance between the two adjacent layers in transverse direction such that the lumps of fluid particles can move from one layer to another layer in such a way that the momentum of the particles in x-direction remains same. Prandtle assumed that velocity fluctuations in x and y directions are related to the mixing length as expressed below — diTi u' = I— dy Similarly

The mixing length (1) is analogus to the mean free path in the kinetic theory of gases. However there is a vast difference between the two as mean free path relates to the microscopic level while mixing length relates to macroscopic motion of fluid particles. 16. Find the expression of eddy viscosity in terms of mixing length. Why Prandtl's mixing length theory is useful in analysis of turbulent flow? For turbulent flow, shear stress is 2 (du )2 = p1 dy
(i)
As per Boussinesg's equation, shear stress in turbulent flow is = I/
(du) dy
Comparing equation (i) and (ii), we have pi2 (du ) ) dy The above equation indicates that mixing length (1) is a function ofy i.e. distance of the point under observation from the boundary or wall. Prandtle studied the turbulent flow in a circle and gave the expression for the mixing length as: 1 = ky where k is a universal constant. k is also known as karman constant and its value is 0.4. 17. How does the mixing length vary with distance from the wall in a turbulent flow? Show it by a sketch why Prandtl's mixing length is preferred? The mixing length varies with the distance from the wall in a turbulence flow as per expression: 1 = ky
554

where k is some constant whose value has to be determined from the experiment data. For regions very close to the walls, the value of k = 0.4.
ro = radius of pipe

Y r0 Variation of mixing length w.r.t. distance from wall
Prandtle's mixing length theory is preferred for the analysis of turbulent flow as this theory is simple to apply. 18. What is Von-karman similarity concept? What is the limitation of Prandtle's concept and karman's concept? Von karman extended the Prandtl momentum theory by establishing the dependence of mixing length in the turbulence flow on the distribution of average velocity. According to him, the mixing length is the ratio of the first derivative of mean velocity to the second derivative of mean velocity. du Mixing length — / — k dy d 2u dy e But shear stress

The above relation relates shear stress to the mean velocity gradient in turbulent flow. Limitation: Neither Prandtl's concept nor karman's concept is valid in finding out shear stresses at the pipe centre line as at the pipe centre line, the transverse momentum transport is zero. Both the concepts are also not valid at the pipe walls as the sublayer at the walls has laminar flow. 19. A turbulent flow of water in a pipe of 0.8 m diameter has velocity profile as under

The velocity distribution in the boundary layer is as shown in the figure. Consider elementary strip at distance y from the boundary with thickness as dy. Let u be the velocity at distance y from the boundary. Now mass of the fluid flowing per second through this strips is: dmb = p • u • dA = p • u • b • dy

13. How are the thickness of boundary layer, shear stress and drag force along the flat plate determined by Von-karman momentum equation? Consider the flow of a fluid with free stream velocity U over a flat plate as shown in the figure. Consider a small length dx of plate at a distance x from the leading edge of the plate. Now shear stress near the plate is given by Newton's law of viscosity as — To =

Momentum equation for boundary layer
The shear force or drag force acting on dx length of the plate opposite to flow direction is: dFD = Shear stress x Area = To x dx x b where b = width This drag force dFD has to be equal to the rate of change of momentum for the flow of fluid on plate for distance dx. Consider a small control volume ABCD bounded by the boundary surface and boundary layer as shown in the figure.

15. What do you mean by separation of boundary layer? What is the effect of pressure gradient on boundary layer thickness. (UPTU 2002-3) or What is separation? (UPTU 2004-5) Flow generally takes place from higher pressure to lower pressure which is called negative pressure gradient i.e. pressure is decreasing in the direction of flow or pressure gradient in ap . However, there are situations when flow takes place over a curved x boundary surface under positive pressure gradient i.e. pressure is increasing in the direction of the flow. In such cases, the flow near the boundary is continuously retarded and a point is reached when the flow starts separating from the boundary. The point at which flow separates from the boundary is called separation point. The separation takes place mainly due to positive pressure gradient which reduces the momentum of flow of the fluid within the boundary layer due to higher shear stresses in fluid having high viscosity. The change of velocity and pressure gradient are related as —

a
Consider a flow over a curved surface causing positive pressure gradient i.e.
ap is positive. ax
The flow starts retarding as it moves forward from point 1. The flow velocity gradually diminishes to zero at point 2. The fluid particles can not move further close to boundary surface as these particles have to encounter the resistance of the boundary layer. Hence fluid leaves the boundary at point 2. The separation gap increases as the fluid moves beyond point 2 to point 3. The layer of fluid detached from point 2 has tendency to roll itself, thereby forming vortices. This region where vortices are formed due to positive pressure gradient is called wake. The kinetic energy of the flow is wasted due to reverse flow which is ultimately converted into internal energy (increase of temperature of the fluid). There is additional drag force in the wake ration. The velocity distribution helps in identification of separation as under —
(1) (du) dy) y.0

SEPARATION OF BOUNDARY LAYER
The positive velocity gradient leads to reduction in the velocity in the boundary layer. Reynolds number decreases with velocity retardation. Since the thickness of the boundary layer is inversely proportional to the square root of Reynolds number, the thickness of boundary layer increases with positive pressure gradient.

16. What are different methods of preventing the separation of boundary layer? (UPTU 2004-5) The separation of boundary layer is undesirable and attempts are made to avoid separation by various methods. The methods for preventing the separation of boundary layer are: (1) Suction of slow moving fluid by a suction slot
Section slot to suck the retarded fluid
(2) Supplying additional energy from a blower
Air is blown in to give additional energy
(3) Streamlining of the body so that separation is avoided or delayed to take place as near to the trailing edge

INTRODUCTION The fluid flow in pipes is generally turbulent. Flow is turbulent if Reynolds number is greater than 4000. In turbulent flow, the velocity distribution is relatively uniform and velocity profile is much flatter as compared to laminar flow. There are irregular velocity and pressure fluctuations in turbulent flow. This is the reason why no theory has been developed for the analysis of turbulent flow. The velocity fluctuations in turbulent flow influence the mean motion in such a way that an additional shear resistance to flow is caused. The turbulent shear stress consists of viscous shear stress and shear stress produced due to turbulence. When fluid flows through a pipeline, it encounters resistance due to (i) viscosity of the fluid, (ii) the roughness existing in the interior surface of the pipeline and (iii) resistance offered by pipeline. The major energy loss in a pipeline results due to friction as the pipeline has generally long length.
630
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
Total energy in pipeline decreases in the direction of flow. Hydraulic gradient line is the sum of potential energy head from a datum line and pressure head at any point in the pipeline. Syphon is an arrangement of pipe system by which fluid can be made to run up the hill utilizing the force of atmospheric pressure. Water hammer is a phenomenon which is caused in a pipeline when flowing fluid experiences a sudden reduction of velocity due to the closing of any valve abruptly in the pipeline. 1. Distinguish between pipe and pipeline. Pipe is a term used for a closed conduit of round cross-section which is used for carrying water under pressure. Incase the liquid does not flow under pressure, then the pipe is not full of liquid and the atmospheric pressure exists inside the pipe. Sewers and culverts are not full of liquids and they have atmospheric pressure inside . The flow in partly filled pipes is similar to the flow in open channel. A pipeline consists of a number of pipes which are joined together with the help of pipe fittings such as unions, couplings, flanges, elbows, bends and reducers etc. The pipes in the pipeline may have same diameter or different diameters. To regulate the flow of liquid, valves and sluices are used as pipe fittings in the pipeline. Pipelines are used generally for transporting fluids like water, oil, air and gases from the point of supply to the different places where they can be used. For example, we use pipeline for: (1) (2) (3) (4)
water supply installations to distribute water from the overhead reservoir. reservoir dams to carry water to the turbines drilling platforms to carry crude oil to refineries supply LPG to the houses.
2. Why does loss of head take place in pipelines? When fluid flows through a pipeline, it encounters resistance due to (1) viscosity of the fluid (2) the roughness existing in the interior surface of the pipeline and (3) resistance offered by pipe fittings. Turbulence is produced in fluid flow due to resistance, causing loss of energy and pressure head. 3. What are different types of loss of head in fluid flow through pipeline? The loss of head in pipeline can be: (1) constant velocity head loss and (2) variable velocity head loss due to changing cross-section. The constant velocity head loss takes place due to: (1) friction in the pipe and (2) kinetic energy loss as fluid is flowing out of the pipeline with some velocity at the exist. The head loss due to friction results due to : (1) resistance offered by the roughness of the pipe surface when fluid layer slides over the wall of the pipeline and (2) resistance offered by the fluid layers to each other. In case the length of a pipeline is more than 500 times its diameter, then pipeline is termed as long pipeline and such pipeline has head loss due to friction as a major loss. When the fluid flows out of the pipeline at the exit, it has certain velocity which is head loss due to kinetic energy of flowing out fluid. It is a minor loss. Variable velocity head loss takes place due to variable velocity resulting in a pipeline whenever there is a change of cross-section inside the pipeline. For

example, there are changes in cross-section due to: (1) pipe entrance (2) sudden enlargements (3) sudden contractions and (4) many pipe fitments. 4. How is the flow in pipeline classified? The flow in pipeline can be classified: (1) laminar or (2) turbulent. It depends upon the Reynolds number of the fluid flow. If the Reynolds number of the fluid flow is less than 2000, the flow is consider to be laminar flow in the pipeline. If the Reynolds number of the fluid flow is greater than 4000, the flow is considered to be turbulent flow in the pipeline. When the fluid flow through pipe runs full, the flow is considered to be turbulent. 5. What are major and minor energy losses in a pipeline? or What are the causes of lies of energy in a pipe? (UPTU-2005-6) The major energy loss in a pipeline results due to friction as the pipeline has generally long length. It depends upon: (1) roughness inside the pipeline (2) velocity of fluid and (3) diameter of pipeline. It is determined by Darcy-Weishech formula (hf —

where C = Chenzy's constant). The minor losses result due to disturbance in the flow pattern. It occurs due to: (1) sudden enlargements (2) sudden contractions (3) entrance and exit (4) valve and (5) fittings. The minor losses are taking place as shown in below: (1) Sudden enlargement

Friction factor is a dimensionless term which is used for finding friction loss in flow through a pipe. It depends upon two parameter viz (1) Reynolds number and (2) relative roughness of pipe surface. The friction factor increases with the increase of relative roughness. However the friction factor decreases with the increase of Reynolds number. Beyond certain value of Reynolds number, the friction factor becomes independent of Reynolds number.

2 Sudden enlargement
Consider a pipe line in which there is a sudden enlargement of cross-section from A l to A2 (A2 > A1). Take two sections 1-1 and 2-2. As area is suddenly increased from Al to A2, fluid does not fill up the area (A2 — A1) initially and this area is filled up by reversed flow initiated by eddies at a later stage. The pressure is determined experimentally in area (A2 — A1) which is found to be equal to initial inlet pressure P1. The resultant force acting on the liquid between section 1-1 and 2-2 in the direction of flow is: = P1A1 — P2A2 Pi (A2 — A1) = (P1 — P2)A2 The net force acting on the fluid is equal to the rate of change of momentum in the direction of flow as per Newton's second law of motion.

Flow Flow through a bend
Consider a fluid flowing through a bend. The stream lines are curved as per the boundary of the bend and a pressure gradient is created such that the pressure at the other radius where velocity is lower is more than the pressure at the inner radices where the velocity is higher. The pressure at the inner radices of the bend decreases further with the contraction of stream lines while constituting a vena contracta, resulting separation of the flow at the inner wall of the bend. From vena contracta, the expansion of fluid flow takes place accompanied with the formation of eddies and head loss similar to head loss taking place in sudden contraction in flow. The head loss for flow through a bend can be reduced by using a bend of larger radius which minimizes the effect of contraction and expansion of fluid flow. The loss of head in bend is given by — k •V 2 where k = Coefficient of bend 2g The coefficient of bend depends upon radius of curvature of bend and diameter of the pipe. hb —
19. How is the loss due to pipe fittings accounted for? It is customary to relate the losses of all pipe fittings to inlet velocity head by specifying constant k for the pipe fittings. The loss of head for a pipe fitting is — k U2 2g It is also a general practice to relate the head loss due to pipe fittings in the term of equivalent lengths of the pipeline. head loss —

21. What is total energy line or energy gradient? (UPTU-2005-6, 2006-07) The total head or energy is given by Bernoulli's equation as — + V2 + Z 2g When the fluid flows along the pipe, there is a loss of head (energy) in the pipe. Hence total energy decreases in the direction of flow. If the total energy at various points along the axis of the pipe is plotted and joined by a line, then the line so obtained is called the energy gradient (EGL) or total energy line (TEL) Total head =
P pg
22. What is hydraulic gradient line (HGL)? (UPTU-2005-6, 2006-7) The sum of potential energy head from a datum line and pressure head at any point is called the piezometric head. If a line is drawn joining the piezometric levels at various points in the flow, the line thus obtained is called the hydraulic gradient line (HGL). 23. What are the important aspects of total energy line (TEL) and hydraulic gradient line (HGL)? The important aspects of TEL and HGL are: 1. TEL always drops in the direction of flow due to loss of head occurring in the direction of flow. 2. HGL may rise or fall as it depends upon pressure changes. HGL rises during flow through a sudden expansion and falls during flow through a sudden contraction. 3. HGL lies below the TEL and vertical distance between TEL and HGL is equal to the velocity head. 4. In pipe of uniform cross-section, there is no variation of velocity. Hence the slope of TEL and HGL is same.

5. There is no relation between TEL and the slope of pipe. 6. If a segment of pipeline lies above the hydraulic gradient line, these must be negative pressure in that segment and such segment is said to constitute a syphon. 24.

Networking
A group of pipes which are interconnected and forming several circuits or loops is called a pipe network. Networking is a common method in water distribution system adopted by the municipalities of the cities. In networking of pipes, following conditions are always satisfied: (1) Continuity equation. At each junction of pipes, total inflow is equal to outflow as per the principle of continuity. (2) Energy equation. The loss of head due to flow in each loop in clockwise direction must be equal to the loss of head due to flow in anticlockwise direction. In the figure the head loss in the clockwise flow from A to E must be equal to the head loss in anticlockwise from AFE. In other words, the algebraic sum of head losses in any closed circuit within the network must be zero. (3) Darcy's equation. The head loss in each pipe of the network for simplicity can be expressed as hf
= r Q2 where r —
fL 12.1 x d'
The flow in each pipe must satisfy the
relation between the head loss and discharge at all times. 43. Describe the Hardy cross method for solving pipe network problems. The pipe network problems are difficult to solve analytically. Hence the method of successive approximation is used which is commonly known as Hardy cross method. Following steps are used in this method: (1) a trial distribution of flow is made for the network in such a way that the continuity equation is always satisfied at each junction or node. (2) head loss with trial distribution of flow for each pipe in network is found out. Head loss in each pipe is hf = kQ2 where k —

(3) apply the condition and see whether the sum of head losses in each loop is zero i.e. Eh.), = y, kQ2 = 0. (4) In case sum of head losses in a loop is not zero, change the value of the flow so that the sum of head loss of flow may become zero. New flow is Q = Qo + AQ and Ihf IcQ2

45. What is a syphon? Where is it used? Explain its action. Derive an expression for the length of its inlet leg. (UPTU-2002-3) Syphon is an arrangement of pipe system by which water can be made to run up the hill utilizing the force of atmospheric pressure. It is bend pipe connecting two water surfaces at different levels and separated by high ground over which the pipe is laid as shown in the figure. The water will flow from high water level surface (surface A) to the lower water level surface (surface B) even when an obstruction in way of summit C is present. The pressure at point C in pipe is less than atmospheric pressure as it lies at a level which is above the free surface of the water at point A. Since atmospheric pressure is equal to 10.3 m of water, the pressure at C can be theoretically reduced to —10.3 m of water but it is limited to —7.6 m of water to avoid air and dissolved gases separating from the water and getting collected at point C (summit) of the pipeline which are likely to obstruct line flow of the water. The inlet leg is infact the pipe line from the reservoir A to summit C and the outlet leg is the pipe from summit C to reservoir B. Summit

Principle of working Negative pressure is created at summit C of the syphon so that water can be pushed towards summit by the atmospheric pressure acting on the free surface of the water. The flow in the syphon is maintained till the negative pressure remains at summit C. The flow and velocity of the flow when started in the syphon depends upon the difference of water level at point A and B. It does not depend upon the level of C of the syphon till negative pressure is maintained at point C. On applying Bernoulli's equation between point A and B, we get PA

An aerofoil is a streamlined body designed in such a way that a separation if occurs, it should be near the trailing edge of the aerofoil. As small wake is allowed to be produced which results into a small pressure drag acting on the aerofoil. Even when flow has high Reynolds number, pressure drag is very small but the skin friction drag is large. The resulting force on the aerofoil due to small pressure drag along the flow and large friction drag perpendicular to the direction of flow is also acting nearly perpendicular to flow. A large lift is obtained from an aerofoil. Resulting force

Angle of attack (a)

(1) Chord line and chord : Chord line is an imaginary line which can be draw on from leading edge to the trailing edge of a cross section of an aerofoil. The length of the line is called chord of the aerofoil. (2) Angle of Attack. The acute angle between the chord line of the aeirofoil and the direction of the flow. (3) Camber. Camber is the curvature of the aeirofoil from the leading edge to trailing edge. The camber can be (1) upper camber (2) lower camber and (3) mean camber which is the mean line that is equidistance from the upper and lower surface. In the case of a symmetrical aeirofoil, the profile centre line concides with the chord line. (4) Profile Centre Line. The imaginary line joining the mid-points of the profile starting from leading edge to exit at the trailing edge is called a profile centre line. (5) Aspect Ratio. It is the ratio of span of the aerofoil (0 to the length of mean chord (c)
Aspect ratio =
span / — mean chord c
(6) Stall. When the angle of attack of an aerofoil is greater than the angle of attack for maximum lift, the aerofoil is said to be operating in the stall condition. At stall condition, the flow separates from the aerofoil and eddies are formed, thereby the drag coefficient increases considerably.
19. Draw and explain the flow around an aerofoil when subjected to : (1) uniform flow (2) circulatory flow and (3) combination of uniform and circulatory flows. State how the stagnation points vary.

Aerofoil in uniform flow
Aerofoil in circulatory flow
Aerofoil in combined uniform and vortex flow
The above figure shows uniform flow around an airflow. Two stagnation points are formed under irrotational flow conditions. S1 is the stagnation point formed at the leading edge of the aeirofoil and S2 is the stagnation point formed at the upper surface of the aerofoil before the trailing edge. The flow on the upper surface of the aerofoil is unstable near the trailing edge as in this region, the flow is taking place against positive or adverse pressure gradient conditions which encourage the separation of the flow from the surface of the aerofoil. Hence stagnation S2 takes place before the trailing edge which moves to the trailing edge as the velocity of flow increases. On further increase of velocity, it gives rise to the formation of vortices. The vortices create circulation around the aerofoil and flow pattern

around the aerofoil becomes similar to what is obtained when aeirofoil is subjected to combined flow of uniform and vortex flow. The rear stagnation point S2 is now at trailing edge. There is distortion of the flow pattern about the aeirofoil with stream lines are closer on the upper surface and stream lines are wide spaced at lower surface. Hence the flow pattern is asymmetrical about the central axis and aerofoil is now subjected to a lift force. 20. Define aeroplane. When will it be said to be in equilibrium?

Weight Equilibrium of aeroplane
An aeroplane is a flying machine which is although heavier than air but it is supported by the lift provided by the flow of air on its wings having the shape of an aeirofoil. When aeiroplane is in steady level flight, it is in equilibrium as shown in the figure. In equilibrium, lift forces are equal to the weight of the aeroplane and drag force must be overcome by the thrust or propulsion provided by the engine/jet engine of the aeroplane. Lift = CI x 1pU2 X A But during equilibrium Weight = Lift W = CL x —1 pU 2 x A .

Angle of attack (a)
As the angle of attack increases, lift forces increase and lift coefficient reaches maximum. After this, the lift coefficient decreases with higher values of the angle of attack. The aerofoil is then said to stall when CL starts decreasing. The maximum point on lift coefficient curve is known as the stalling point. The reason for decrease in the lift coefficient is due to the separation of the flow on the aerofoil. Similarly drag coefficient fristily decreases with increase of angle of attack and later is increases rapidly due to separation of flow on the aerofoil. 22.
