      Introduction of Fluid Mechanics

      During the course, you will know various aspects of Autodesk CFD for various practical problems. But, keep in mind that all computer software work on same concept of GIGO which means Garbage In - Garbage Out. So, if you have specified any wrong parameter while defining properties of analysis then you will not get the correct results. This problem demands a good knowledge of Fluid Mechanics so that you are well conversant with the terms of classical fluid mechanics and can relate the results to the theoretical concepts. In this chapter, we will discuss the basics of Fluid Mechanics and we will try to relate them with analysis wherever possible.

      Basic Properties of Fluids

      There are various basic properties required while performing analysis on fluid. These properties are collected by performing experiments in labs. Most of these properties are available in the form of tables in Steam Tables or Design Data books. These properties are explained next.

      Mass Density, Weight Density, and Specific Gravity

      •Density or Mass Density if the mass of fluid per unit volume. In SI units, mass is given by kg and volume is given by m³. So, mathematically we can say,

      Density (or Mass Density)

      kg/m³

      •If you are asked for weight density then multiply mass by gravity coefficient. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

      Weight Density w =

      N/m³

      •Most of the time, fluid density is available as Specific Gravity. Specific gravity is the ratio of weight density of fluid to weight density of water in case of liquid. In case of gases, it is the ratio of weight density of fluid to weight density of air. Note that weight density of water is 1000 kg/m³ at 4 oC and weight density of air is 1.225 kg/m³ at 15 oC.

      Note that as the temperature of liquid rises, its density is reduced and vice-versa. But as the temperature of gas rises, its density is increased and vice-versa.

      Viscosity

      Viscosity is the coefficient of friction between different layers of fluid. In other terms, it is the shear stress required to produce unit rate of shear strain in one layer of fluid. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

      N.s/m² or Pa.s

      where μ is viscosity, τ is shear stress (or force applied tangentially to the layer of fluid) and (dx/dy) is the shear strain.

      As the density of fluid changes with temperature so does the viscosity changes with temperature. the formula for viscosity of fluid at different temperature is given next.

      For Liquids,

      For Gases,

      here, is viscosity at 0 oC

      α and β are constants for fluid (for water α is 0.03368 and β is 0.000221)

      (for air α is 5.6x10-8 and β is 1.189x10-10)

      t is the temperature

      Problem on Viscosity

      Dynamic viscosity of lubricant oil used between shaft and sleeve is 8 poise. The shaft has a diameter of 0.4 m and rotates at 250 r.p.m. Find out the power lost due to viscosity of fluid if length of sleeve is 100 mm and thickness of oil film is 1.5 mm; refer to below figure.

      Solution:

      Viscosity μ = 8 poise = 8/10 N.s/m² =0.8 N.s/m²

      Tangential velocity of shaft =5.236 m/s

      Using the relation,

      where dx is 5.236

      and dy is 1.5x10-3

      = 2792.53 N/m²

      Shear force F = τ x Area

      N

      Torque (T) = Force x Radius = 350.92 x 0.2 = 70.184 N.m

      Power = 2 π.N.T/60 = (2 π x 250 x 70.184)/60=1837.41 W Ans.

      Now, you may ask how this problem relates with CFD. As discussed earlier, the viscosity changes with temperature and as fluid flows through pipe or comes in contact with rolling shaft, its temperature rises. In such cases, CFD gives the approximate viscosity and temperature of fluids in the system at different locations. This data later can be used to find solution for other engineering problems.

      Types of Fluids

      There are mainly 5 types of fluids:

      Ideal Fluids: These fluids are incompressible and have no viscosity which means they flow freely without any resistance. This category of fluid is imaginary and used in some cases of calculations.

      Real Fluids: These are the fluids found in real world. These fluids have viscosity values as per their nature and can be compressible in some cases.

      Newtonian Fluids: Newtonian fluids are those in which shear stress is directly proportional to shear strain. In a specific temperature range, water, gasoline, alcohol etc. can be Newtonian fluids.

      Non-Newtonian Fluids: Those fluids in which shear stress is not directly proportional to shear strain. Most of the time Real Fluids fall in this category.

      Ideal Plastic Fluids: Those fluids in which shear stress is more than yield value so say fluid deforms plastically. The shear stress in these fluids is directly proportional to shear strain.

      Thermodynamic Properties of Fluid

      Most of the liquids are not considered as compressible in general applications as their molecules are already bound closely to each other. But, Gas have large gap between their molecules and can be compressed easily relative to liquids. As we pick pressure to compress the gas, other thermodynamic properties also come into play. The relationship between Pressure, Temperature, and specific Volume is given by;

      P.V = RT

      P = Absolute pressure of a gas in N/m²

      V = Specific Volume = 1/ ρ

      R = Gas Constant (for Air is 287 J/Kg-K

      T = Absolute Temperature

      ρ = Density of gas

      If the density of gas changes with constant temperature then the process is called Isothermal process and if density changes with no heat transfer then the process is called Adiabatic process.

      For Isothermal process, p/ρ = Constant

      For Adiabatic process, p/ ρk = Constant

      Here, k is Ratio of specific heat of a gas at constant pressure and constant
