PowerPoint Chapter 9 Flashcards
What is fluid mechanics?
Fluid mechanicsis the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them.
The most familiar fluid to us is?
Water
Hydrostatics?
Hydrostatics – Science of water at rest
Hydrodynamics?
Hydrodynamics – Science of water in motion
Hydrodynamics has since developed into ____ ____ to incorporate the flow of ____ and other ____ ____?
Hydrodynamics has since developed into Fluid dynamics to incorporate the flow of Air and other dynamic fluids
Majority of Fluids are ____?
Majority of Fluids are Isotropic
How can fluids be described (3)?
Majority of Fluids are Isotropic
Described by defining
-mean mass/unit volume or Density (ρ)
-Temperature (T)
-Velocity (v)
Fluids yield to ____ ____ no matter how small the ____?
Fluids yield to Shear stress no matter how small the stress
Pressure to a ____ in a closed container is transmitted without loss to every portion of the ____ and to the ____ of the container?
Pressure to a fluid in a closed container is transmitted without loss to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container
What is buoyancy?
Vertical Supporting Force of a Fluid, upward directed
What is Pascal’s Law?
-Pressure at a point in a fluid is equal in all directions
-Ignore horizontal forces; canceled out
-Forces on bottom of object. A higher pressure at the lower portion of an object in water. Pressure difference causes a net force known as Buoyant force
What is Archimedes’ principle?
“Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.”
What is translation (fluid buoyancy)?
Translation - an upward force exerted by a fluid opposes the weight of an immersed object
The size of the buoyant force is equal to ____________________________?
The size of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluids displaced by the object.
What is positive buoyant?
Positive buoyant – object weighs < water displaced. Upward acceleration
What is negative buoyant?
Negative buoyant – object weighs > water displaced, Downward acceleration
What is the equation for buoyancy?
F(buoy) = rho(f) x V(disp) x g
rho = density of immersing fluid
V = Volume of displace fluid
g = gravity
What is the weight of water?
Weight of Water is 9800N/m3
As a scuba dive goes deeper the pressure ____?
As a scuba dive goes deeper the pressure increases
What is the science behind a flotation device?
Floatation devices
-↑ Buoyancy
-Lowering density
-Hollow construction
Describe the density of the body and different tissues?
The Body
-Its density is close to water
-Approx. 70% Water
-Muscle & Bone > Density than H2O
-Body Fat < Density of H2O
What is the center of buoyancy?
-The center of gravity of the displaced volume of water, equal in shape and volume of the submerged object it displaced.
-The point where force of buoyancy seems to be concentrated
-Higher than Center of Gravity
Describe dynamic fliud forces (what do they act on)?
Acts on a system that is moving through a fluid
The system deflects fluid particles to the outside in order to move through it.
What is dynamic fluid force?
Dynamic Fluid Force – The equal and oppositely directed force of the fluid particles in reaction to the applied force of the system moving through the fluid
What are two fluid forces?
The 2 Fluid Forces
Drag – parallel
Lift – perpendicular
What is relative motion?
Relative motion
-The motion of one object with respect to a reference point
-60mph. Car next lane. Vs Car in opposite lane
What is viscosity?
Viscosity
-A measure of the resistance of two adjacent layers of fluid molecules moving relative to each other
Internal friction of a fluid
More viscous fluids move more slowly
Less viscous fluids move more quickly
What is drag?
The force resisting motion between object and fluid.
Acts parallel to the flow of fluid by an object but opposite the direction of object motion.
Drag forces tend to ____ ____ the motion of the projectile through fluid?
Drag forces tend to slow down the motion of the projectile through fluid.
What effect does fluid density have on drag?
Effect of Fluid Density
-As Fluid Density increases so does drag force
What is the formula for drag?
F^D = ½ x C^D x p(rho) x A^p x V^2
FD- Drag force
CD- Coefficient of Friction
P- fluid density
Ap- Frontal area of projectile
V2- relative Velocity
