This week we were talking about Dimensional Analysis. It forms relationships between factors involved in a physical situation. In fluid dynamics, we use Length=L (Metre in SI units) Mass=M(Kilogramme in SI units) Time=T(Second in SI units) Temperature= Θ(Kelvin in SI units) Electric current=A(Amp in SI units) Luminous intensity=I(Candela in SI units) Here is a table […]
The Navier-Stokes equations help determine its motion. There are different equations for a compressible and in compressible fluid and they are as follows. We learnt to derive these using the continuity equation. There are no exercises for this as we will be going back to inviscid flows next week. Currently I think I understand this, […]
So, this week we had a change about. We had a lecture on viscous flow and a taster into our term two syllabus. Viscous flow takes into consideration the viscosity of a fluid. Viscosity essentially being the thickness of the fluid, for example syrup has a higher viscosity than milk. The viscosity of most liquids […]
As this blog is designed to follow my line of study in Fluid Dynamics, it would make sense to write about the first lecture that we had. We were questioned as to the whereabouts of two suspended ping pong balls if a stream of air was blown in the space between them. Naturally one would […]
