Historic Background Fluid Mechanics is the modern

science developed mainly by Prandtl and von Karman to study fluid motion by matching experimental data with theoretical models. Thus, combining Aero/Hydrodynamics with Hydraulics.

Indeed, modern research facilities employ mathematicians, physicists, engineers and technicians, who working in teams to bring together both view points: experiment and theory.

Fluid Mechanics Definition

“Fluid”: a substance that deforms continuously when acted on by a shearing stress of any magnitude.

“Mechanics”: the branch of applied mathematics that deals with the motion and equilibrium of bodies and the action of forces, and includes kinematics, dynamics, and statics.

“Fluid mechanics”: a branch of science that studies the mechanics of those free moving particles.

Mechanics of Particle

Liquid Gas

11

Fluid Modeling Microscopic:

Study the behavior of molecules VERY complicated!!!

Mesoscopic: Statistical physics

Macroscopic: Continuum assumption Navier-Stokes Equation

12

Continuum Assumption …… A fluid particle is a volume large enough to

contain a sufficient number of molecules of the fluid to give an average value for any property that is continuous in space, independent of the number of molecules.

What does “large enough” mean?? How can we determine??

13

Continuum Assumption Knudsen number: Kn = / L

- mean free pathL - characteristic length

14

Continuum Assumption For continuum assumption: Kn << 1

• Kn < 0.001 - Non-slip fluid flow - B.C.s: no velocity slip

- No temp. jump - Classical fluid mechanics

• 0.001< Kn < 0.1 - Slip fluid flow - Continuum with slip B.C.s

• 0.1< Kn< 10 - Transition flow - No continuum, kinetic gas

• 10<Kn - Free molecular flow - Molecular dynamics

Example 1 For air duct:

D

Characteristic scales for standard air:-> mean free path, (sea level) ~ 10-7 m

Characteristic length (L):-> Diameter of the duct (D) = 1 inch (25.4mm)

Kn = 10-7/(0.0254) = 3.937x10-6 < 0.001(Continuum and non-slip fluid flow)

Air flow

16

Example 2 For airplane:

Characteristic scales for standard air:-> mean free path, (h=sea level) ~ 10-7 m

Characteristic length (L):-> Length of the airplane = 10m

h

L

Kn = 10-7/(10) = 10-8 < 0.001(Continuum and non-slip fluid flow)

17

Example 3 For micro-channel:

Characteristic scales for standard air:-> mean free path, (sea level) ~ 10-7 m

Characteristic length (L):-> Width of the micro-channel = 1μm = 10-6m

Kn = 10-7/(10-6) = 0.1(Slip fluid flow? Transaction flow? Or others?)

L

18

Properties Thermodynamical

Mean free time - n

Convection time scale - s

Mach number – M

Physical REV – Representative Elementary Volume Density - Viscosity - µ

19

Viscosity Power law:

= k ( u/ y)m

Newtonian fluid: k = µ, m=1 Non-Newtonian fluid: m1 Bingham plastic fluid:

= 0 +µu/y

: Shearing stress [N/m2]µ: dynamic viscosity [kg/(m.s)] : kinematic viscosity: = µ/ [m2/s]

20

Dimensional Analysis (MLT) Primary quantities:

Mass: M Length: L Time: T

Example: Velocity: Length/Time = LT-1

Momentum: Mass x Velocity = MLT-1

Density: Mass/Volume = ML-3
