Continuity and Bernoulli's equations, types of flow
Fluid flow can broadly be classified as
1) Steady and Unsteady flow
2) Uniform and Non-uniform flow
3) Laminar and Turbulent flow
4) Compressible and incompressible flow
Physical properties such as velocity, pressure or density at any point do not change with time.
Steady Flow
Physical properties such as velocity, pressure or density at any point changes with time.
Unsteady Flow
flow at any given time does not change its magnitude & direction with respect to space.
Uniform Flow
Velocity of a fluid flow changes from point to point at any instant.
Non-uniform Flow
Fluid particles move along a smooth path with one layer sliding smoothly over an adjacent layer
Laminar Flow
Velocity of flow is small or Viscosity is high in laminar flow ( T or F )
T
The fluid particles move in a zig-zag way
Turbulent Flow
Random fluctuations is called
Turbulenc
Time average velocity of turbulent flow is called
temporal mean velocity.
Reynolds Number (Re) =
Re = πππ·/π
Reynolds number is less than 2000, the flow is
Laminar flow
Reynolds number is between 2000 and 4000, the flow is
Transitional flow.
Reynolds number is greater than 4000, the flow is
Turbulent flow
The density of the fluid in a flow is not constant and varies from point to point.
Compressible Flow
