What is a Fluid?


So far we have studied the causes of motion
dealing with solids.
That leaves us with gases and liquids.
Liquids and gases are different phases, but
have common properties.
One common property of gases and liquids is
their ability to flow and alter their shape on
the process.
Materials that exhibit the property to flow are
called fluids.
Density
It is a difficult concept to visualize the mass
of a fluid because its shape can change.
 So a more useful measurement is the density
of an object.
 The density of an substance is the mass per
unit volume of the substance.
 Because this uses mass, it is called the mass

density.

If it uses weight, it is called weight density.

Buoyancy
The ability of a substance to float in a liquid is
based of the densities of the two substances.
 The less dense substance will move to the
top, or float.
 The force pushing on an object while in a
liquid or floating is called the buoyant force.
 The buoyant force acts opposite of gravity,
and that is why objects seem “lighter” in
water

Archimedes’ Principle


When an object is placed in water, the total
volume of water is raised the same volume as
the Portion of the Object that is submerged.
Archimedes Principle states the Buoyant Force
is equal to the weight of water displaced.

Use this formula if the object is totally submerged in the
fluid.
FB = Fg(displaced fluid) = mfg
Buoyant Force
Mass Fluid = Vf ρf
Buoyant Force on Floating Objects
For an object to float, the Buoyant Force
must be equal magnitude to the weight of the
object.
 The density of the object determines the
depth of the submersion.


Use the following for an object that is floating on
top of the fluid.

The object is not totally submerged.
FB = Fg

Mass of Object
Floating versus Submerged
A floating object is partially submerged and
partially exposed from the fluid.
 So large density objects needs to displace a
larger volume of water than their own volume
in order to stay afloat.


Large ocean going ships are typically very long
and wide to increase the surface area pushing on
the water.

Pressure is a measure of how much force is
applied over a given area.
The SI Unit for pressure is the Pascal (Pa),
which is equal to 1 N/m2.
The air around us pushes with a pressure. This is
called atmospheric pressure, which is about 105
Pa.
That amount gives us another unit, the
atmosphere (atm).
105 Pa = 1 atm = 1 bar = 29.92 in Hg = 14.7 psi
Pascal’s Principle


When you pump up a bicycle tire, it just
doesn’t grow sideways, but also in height.
Pascal’s Principle states that the
pressure applied to a fluid in a closed
container is transmitted equally to every
point of the fluid and to the walls of the
container.

Pressure and Depth





Water pressure increases with depth because the
water at a given depth has to support the weight of
the water above it.
Imagine an object suspended in a fluid. There is an
imaginary column that is the same cross-sectional
area of the object.
There is water trapped below pushing up on the
object. The water above is pushing down on the
object.
Since the water is suspended, the two pressures are
equal.
If one becomes larger, the object will sink or float.
Fluid Pressure Equation

Pressure varies with the depth in a fluid.

That is because there is a larger column of water
above the object pushing downward.
We must also account for atmospheric pressure
pushing down on top of the water.

And taking atmospheric pressure into account, we get the
following.
P = Po + ρhg
Fluid Flow

Fluid flows in one of two ways:

Laminar flow is when every particle of fluid
follows the same smooth path.


Turbulent flow is when there is irregular flow
due to objects in the path or sharp turns in the
flowing chamber.


That path is said to be streamline.
Irregular motions of the fluid are called eddy
currents.
Since laminar flow is predictable and easy to
model, we will use its characteristics in this
book.
Continuity Equation

Due to the conservation of mass, the amount
of fluid as it flows through a chamber is
consider to also be conserved.
But the mass of a gas is
hard to find and we do
know the density and
the space it takes up.
So m1= m2
ρV1= ρV2
ρA1Δx1= ρA2Δx2
ρA1v1Δt = ρA2v2Δt
It is hard to measure
displacement of a gas,
but we can measure the
time it takes to travel.
A1v1 = A2v2
But what happens when the
chamber changes size?
Density of the gas will be
constant and the time will
be constant, so…
Continuity Equation
Bernoulli’s Principle


The pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid’s
velocity increases.
This is the principle responsible for lift.



As air flows over the top of the wing, the speed must
increase because it travels a longer distance.
Because the speed increased, the pressure then decreases.
Now there is more pressure on the bottom of the wing
pushing upward, creating lift!
Bernoulli’s Equation



This equation relates pressure to energy in a moving
fluid.
Since energy is conserved, Bernoulli’s Equation is
set to be a constant.
For our use, we will then set Bernoulli’s Equation
equal to itself under initial and final conditions.
