3650 fluid dynamics Flashcards
gas
molecular proximity defined by container
states of substances
gas liquids solids but all fluids and beyond solid are plasmas
dynamic forces
lift and drag
static forces and what they depend on
pressure and buoyancy - position, size, structure
pressure
acting down on the substance
weight
mg, pulling the substance down
drag (2)
resistive force that results from DISORDERLY collisions with fluid molecules
opposing the action
lift
pushing object up
buoyancy (2)
supportive force produced by displacement of ORDERLY fluid molecules
- initially would not have if we dont have it in order until the fluids rearrange itself
pushing object up
density and buoyancy
less dense -buoyant
sum of Fy
-RU-w+RB
RU and RB depends on
volume
w depends on
mass
density
mass/volume
if the object has more volume
more buoyant
