FM Flashcards
What is the Knods Number useful for?
For telling if the continuum Model can be applied. Formula is lambbda / L where lambda is the mean free path and L is the characteristic length
What are field variables?
Properties of Particles
What is dynamic viscosity?
The constant of proportionality that links stress to the rate of change of deformation
What does viscosity not depend on for Newtonian fluids?
Strain Rate
What are two examples of Non-Newtonian fluids
Sheer thinning and sheer thickening flids
What are the three types of flow?
Jet Flow, Vortex Flow, Stagnation Flow
What describes Lagrangian Flow?
Properties of individual particles are followed
What describes Eularian Flow?
Points in a field are observed
What are streamlines?
Integrated curves of instantaneous velocity field
What are streamtubes?
A material volume which is bounded by a cylindrical surface generated by stream lines?
What is the Conda Effect?
When friction allows a flow to follow a contour until inertia becomes too large and causes flow seperation
What is more important at large reynold numbers>
Inertia
What is more important at small reynold numbers?
Friction
What is formula for c_p
lambda R / Lambda -1
What kind of reference frame is lagrangian?
Material
