Motion is steady: velocity, density, pressure at a given point don’t change
Moves without turbulence

3. Steady/Unsteady flow Turbulent Flow
In steady flow the velocity of particles is constant with time
Unsteady flow occurs when the velocity at a point changes with time. Turbulence is extreme unsteady flow where the velocity vector at a point changes quickly with time e.g. water rapids or waterfall.
When the flow is steady, streamlines are used to represent the direction of flow.
Steady flow is sometimes called streamline flow
Streamlines never cross. A set of streamlines can define a tube of flow, the borders of which the fluid does not cross
Turbulent Flow
Turbulent flow is an extreme kind of unsteady flow and occurs when there are sharp obstacles or bends in the path of a fast-moving fluid.
In turbulent flow, the velocity at a point changes erratically from moment to moment, both in magnitude and direction.

4. Viscous/Non viscous flow
A viscous fluid such as honey does not flow readily, it has a large viscosity.
Water has a low viscosity and flows easily.
A viscous flow requires energy dissipation.
Zero viscosity – requires no energy. with no dissipation of energy. Some liquids can be taken to have zero viscosity e.g. water.
An incompressible, non viscous fluid is said to be an ideal fluid

7. The volume flow rate, Q is defined as the volume of fluid that flows past an imaginary (or real) interface.
A v represents the volume of fluid per second that passes through the tube and is called the volume flow rate Q
T . Norah Ali Al moneef

8. If the area is reduced the fluid must speed up!
If the fluid is incompressible, the density remains constant throughout
Av represents the volume of fluid per second that passes through the tube and is called the volume flow rate Q
This just means that the amount of fluid moving in any “section of pipe” must remain constant.
If the area is reduced the fluid must speed up!
Speed is high where the pipe is narrow and speed is low where the pipe has a large diameter
T . Norah Ali Al moneef

9. The product of the area and the fluid speed at all points along a pipe is constant for an incompressible fluid.

10. Q: Have you ever used your thumb to control the water flowing from the end of a hose?
A: When the end of a hose is partially closed off, thus reducing its cross-sectional area, the fluid velocity increases.
This kind of fluid behavior is described by the equation of continuity.

Oil is flowing at a speed of 1.22 m/s through a pipeline with a radius of m. How much oil flows in 1 day?

A river flows in a channel that is 40. m wide and 2.2 m deep with a speed of 4.5 m/s.
The river enters a gorge that is 3.7 m wide with a speed of 6.0 m/s.
How deep is the water in the gorge?
The area is width times depth A1 = w1d1
Use the continuity equation v1A1 = v2A2
v1w1d1 = v2w2d2
Solve for the unknown d2.
d2 = v1w1d1 / v2w2 =(4.5 m/s)(40. m)(2.2 m) / (3.7m)(6.0 m/s) = 18 m

30. Bernoulli’s Principle
In steady flow, the speed, pressure and elevation of an ideal fluid are related. Two situations.
(1) Horizontal pipe, changing Area A.
Pressure drop in thin pipe why?
Fluid speeds – acceleration – force required
(2) Elevation change but same area A
Lower fluid is under more pressure

32. 13.4 static consequences of Bernoulli's equation
Fluid At Rest In a Container :
Pressure in a continuously distributed uniform static fluid varies only with
vertical distance and is independent of the shape of the container.
• The pressure is the same at all points on a given horizontal plane in a fluid.
• For liquids, which are incompressible, we have:
pb + ρgh1 = patm + ρgh2
pb = patm + ρg (h2 - h1) = patm + ρgd
Y a = y b = y c = yd
y A = y B = y C = y D h1 h2 d
T . Norah Ali Al moneef
T . Norah Ali Al moneef

33. Absolute Pressure and Gauge Pressure
The pressure P is called the absolute pressure
Remember, P = Patm + ρ g h
P – Patm = ρ g h ( so ρ g h is the gauge pressure)
, because it is the actual value of the system’s pressure.
Gauge pressure: Pressure expressed as the difference between the pressure of the fluid and that of the surrounding atmosphere
Usual pressure gauges record gauge pressure. To calculate absolute pressure:
P = P atm + P gauge
As a fluid moves along if it changes speed or elevation then the pressure changes and vice versa.
Bernoulli’s equation is really just conservation of energy for the fluid
Bernoulli’s equation.
P + ½ ρv2 + ρg h = constant
Bernoulli’s equation shows that as the velocity of a fluid speeds up it’s pressure goes down…..this idea used in airplane wings and frisbees (difference in pressure leads to upward force we call Lift)
T . Norah Ali Al moneef

34. PA>PB PA=PC PA – Patm = ρ g h
PA = PB = PC = PD
P atm is atmospheric pressure =1.013 x 105 Pa
The pressure does not depend upon the shape of the container
T . Norah Ali Al moneef

35. Variation of Pressure with Depth
• If a fluid is at rest in a container, all
portions of the fluid must be in static equilibrium
• All points at the same depth must be at the same pressure
– Otherwise, the fluid would not be in
equilibrium
Pressure changes with elevation
The pressure gradient in the vertical direction is negative
The pressure decreases as we move upward in a fluid at rest
Pressure in a liquid does not change due to the shape of the container
The fluid would flow from the higher pressure region to the lower pressure region
the pressure at a point in a fluid depends only on density, gravity and depth

37. the Manometer is a device to measure pressures
the Manometer is a device to measure pressures. A common simple manometer consists of a U shaped tube of glass filled with some liquid. Typically the liquid is mercury because of its high density
Case 1
both ends of the tube are open to the atmosphere. Thus both points A and B are at atmospheric pressure. The two points also have the same vertical height.
Case 2
the top of the tube on the left has been closed. We imagine that there is a sample of gas in the closed end of the tube.
The right side of the tube remains open to the atmosphere. The point A, then, is at atmospheric pressure.
The point C is at the pressure of the gas in the closed end of the tube.
The point B has a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure due to the weight of the column of liquid of height h.
The point C is at the same height as B, so it has the same pressure as B. And we have already seen that this is equal to the pressure of the gas in the closed end of the tube.
Thus, in this case the pressure of the gas that is trapped in the closed end of the tube is greater than atmospheric pressure by the amount of pressure exerted by the column of liquid of height h.
T . Norah Ali Al moneef

38. Case 3
Perhaps the closed end of the tube contains a sample of gas as before, or perhaps it contains a vacuum.
The point A is at atmospheric pressure.
The point C is at whatever pressure the gas in the closed end of the tube has, or if the closed end contains a vacuum the pressure is zero.
Since the point B is at the same height as point A, it must be at atmospheric pressure too. But the pressure at B is also the sum of the pressure at C plus the pressure exerted by the weight of the column of liquid of height h in the tube.
We conclude that pressure at C, then, is less than atmospheric pressure by the amount of pressure exerted by the column of liquid of height h.
If the closed end of the tube contains a vacuum, then the pressure at point C is zero, and atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure exerted by the weight of the column of liquid of height h. In this case, the manometer can be used as a barometer to measure atmospheric pressure.

40. Pressure at B is P=Patm+ρgh

The tube is horizontal, with y1 = y2 so Bernoulli gives us the following equation for pressure at section 2:

An example of the U-Tube manometer Using a u-tube manometer to measure gauge pressure of fluid density ρ = 700 kg/m3, and the manometric fluid is mercury, with a relative density of 13.6.
What is the gauge pressure if:
h1 = 0.4m and h2 = 0.9m?
pB = pC
pB = pA + ρgh1
pB = pAtmospheric + ρman gh2
We are measuring gauge pressure so patmospheric = 0
pA = ρman gh2 - ρgh1
a) pA = 13.6 x 103 x 9.81 x x 9.81 x 0.4

b) pA = 13.6 x 103 x 9.81 x (-0.1) x 9.81 x 0.4

A MANOMETER (U-TUBE) is a variation of the Barometer in which the pressure of two gases may be compared. Here the difference in the pressures of the gases on the arms of the manometer is equal to the pressure 'exerted' by the column of fluid, ph = ρ g h.

This is called the absolute pressure, because it is the actual value of the system’s pressure.
