57:020 Fluid Mechanics Chapter 4 Professor Fred Stern Fall 2013 1 Chapter 4: Fluids Kinematics 4.1 Velocity and Description Methods Primary dependent variable is fluid velocity vector V = V ( r ); where r is the position vector If V is known then pressure and forces can be determined using techniques to be discussed in subsequent chapters. Consideration of the velocity field alone is referred to as flow field kinematics in distinction from flow field dynamics (force considerations). Fluid mechanics and especially flow kinematics is a geometric subject and if one has a good understanding of the flow geometry then one knows a great deal about the solution to a fluid mechanics problem. Consider a simple flow situation, such as an airfoil in a wind tunnel: kˆzjˆyiˆxr  ˆˆˆ( , )V r t ui vj wk   x r U = constant57:020 Fluid Mechanics Chapter 4 Professor Fred Stern Fall 2013 2 Velocity: Lagrangian and Eulerian Viewpoints There are two approaches to analyzing the velocity field: Lagrangian and Eulerian Lagrangian: keep track of individual fluids particles (i.e., solve F = Ma for each particle) Say particle p is at position r1(t1) and at position r2(t2) then,       Of course the motion of one particle is insufficient to describe the flow field, so the motion of all particles must be considered simultaneously which would be a very difficult task. Also, spatial gradients are not given directly. Thus, the Lagrangian approach is only used in special circumstances. Eulerian: focus attention on a fixed point in space    In general, ( )   ⏟ where, ( ), ( ), ( )57:020 Fluid Mechanics Chapter 4 Professor Fred Stern Fall 2013 3 This approach is by far the most useful since we are usually interested in the flow field in some region and not the history of individual particles. However, must transform F = Ma from system to CV (recall Reynolds Transport Theorem (RTT) & CV analysis from thermodynamics) V can be expressed in any coordinate system; e.g., polar or spherical coordinates. Recall that such coordinates are called orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. The coordinate system is selected such that it is convenient for describing the problem at hand (boundary geometry or streamlines). Undoubtedly, the most convenient coordinate system is streamline coordinates: )t,s(eˆ)t,s(v)t,s(Vss However, usually V not known a priori and even if known streamlines maybe difficult to generate/determine.

In the Lagrangian approach the velocity of a fluid particle is a function of time only since we have described its motion in terms of its position vector.

Local acceleration results when the flow is unsteady. Second term,VV , called convective acceleration because it is associated with spatial gradients of velocity in the flow field. Convective acceleration results when the flow is non-uniform, that is, if the velocity changes along a streamline. The convective acceleration terms are nonlinear which causes mathematical difficulties in flow analysis; also, even in steady flow the convective acceleration can be large if spatial gradients of velocity are large.57:020 Fluid Mechanics Chapter 4 Professor Fred Stern Fall 2013 7 Example: Flow through a converging nozzle can be approximated by a one dimensional velocity distribution u = u(x). For the nozzle shown, assume that the velocity varies linearly from u = Vo at the entrance to u = 3Vo at the exit. Compute the acceleration DtVD as a function of x. Evaluate DtVD at the entrance and exit if Vo = 10 ft/s and L =1 ft.
