Fluid Mechanics
Science that deals with;
behavior of fluids (liquid or gas) at rest
(static) or in motion (dynamics).
Interaction of fluids with solids or other
fluids at the boundaries

What is fluids?
Substance:
That tends to flow and to conform to the
outline of its container
Which deforms continuously under the
action of shearing forces.
In the liquid or gas phase.

Differences between Gas and


Liquid
Liquid

Gas

Almost incompressible.

Easy to compress - Changes of


gas pressure and volume
accompanied by a change in
temperature

Given mass of liquid occupies


a fixed volume, irrespective of
the size or shape of its
container.

Given mass of gas has no fixed


volume, it changes volume to
expand to fill the containing
vessel.

Free surface is formed if the


volume of the container is
greater than that of the liquid.

Gas will completely fill the vessel,


so no free surface is formed.

Behavior of a fluid in a container

Differences between Solid and


Fluid
Fluid
Stress () is proportional to
rate of strain.

Solid
Stress is proportional to
strain, providing that the
elastic limit is not exceeded.

Deforms continuously under Can resist applied shear


action of shearing forces.
stress () by deforming.

Contact area,

Shear stress
= F/A

Force, F

Deformed

rubber

Shear strain,
(angle of deformation /
angular displacement)

Deformation of rubber eraser placed between two


parallel plates under the influence of shear force.

Shear stress in fluid

Classification of Fluid
Newtonian Fluid all fluids in which shear
stress is directly proportional to the
deformation rate (obey Newton's law of
viscosity)
du

dy

Newton's law of viscosity

Example: Water, air and gasoline.

Classification of Fluid
Non Newtonian Fluid All fluids in which
shear stress is indirectly proportional to
deformation rate.
Example: Toothpaste and paint.

Plastic: Shear stress increases with the rate of


shear according to the relationship
=A+ B

du

dy

Where A, B and n are constant.


If n = 1, material is known as Bingham plastic
Pseudo-plastic: Dynamic viscosity increases as
the rate of shear increases
Dilatant: Dynamic viscosity increases as the rate
of shear increases

Classification of Fluid

Toothpaste, sludge, paint, blood,


ketchup
latex , paper pulp , clay
Water, air and gasoline
quicksand
