Newton’s Law of Viscosity
Shear stress τ is directly prop to Θ/t rate of shear strain
τ= μ(du/dy)
Where μ is constant dynamic velocity (for newtonian fluids)
Kinematic viscosity
μ/p
Θ/t = u/y
Θ/t = x/yt = ut/yt = u/y
What if velocity variation in y direction is linear
u-y graph is straight and not a curved parabola
du/dy=u/y
Non slip condition
at bottom surface when y=0, u=0
Solid VS Fluid shear strain
Solid: shear strain τ magnitude Φ
Fluid: shear strain τ RATE Φ/t
X and Y components of a resultant F on a plane
X (tangential) is shear stress τ
Y (normal) is pressure P
Continuum conditions (average of fluid quantities taken)
Order of point dimension must be a lot smaller than the system dimension and a lot larger than the distance between molecules
