Fluid MechanicsFluid Mechanics: the study of forces that
develop when an object moves through a fluid medium.
Two fluids are of interest– Water– Air

Fluid forcesIn some cases, fluid forces have little
effect on an object’s motion (e.g., shotput)In other cases, fluid forces are significant
– badminton, baseball, swimming, cycling, etc.
Three major fluid forces are of interest:– Buoyancy– Drag– Lift

Drag and LiftThe drag force acts in a direction that is
opposite of the relative flow velocity.– Affected by cross-section area (form drag)– Affected by surface smoothness (surface drag)
The lift force acts in a direction that is perpendicular to the relative flow.– The lift force is not necessarily vertical.
![Page 5: Fluid Mechanics Liquids and gases have the ability to flow They are called fluids There are a variety of “LAWS” that fluids obey Need some definitions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8d511/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
DragResistive force acting on a body moving
through a fluid (air or water). Two types:– Surface drag: depends mainly on smoothness of
surface of the object moving through the fluid. shaving the body in swimming; wearing racing suits in
skiing and speed skating.– Form drag: depends mainly on the cross-
sectional area of the body presented to the fluid bicyclist in upright v. crouched position swimmer: related to buoyancy and how high the body
sits in the water.
– When would you want to increase drag?

LiftRepresents a net force that acts
perpendicular to the direction of the relative motion of the fluid;
Created by different pressures on opposite sides of an object due to fluid flow across the object– example: Discus face turns downward
Bernoulli’s principle: velocity is inversely proportional to pressure.– Fast relative velocity lower pressure– Slow relative velocity higher pressure

The Magnus EffectThe Magnus effect describes the curved path
that is observed by spinning projectiles.– Explained by Bernoulli’s principle and the pressure differences caused by relative differences in a moving fluid.

BuoyancyAssociated with how well a body floats or
how high it sits in the fluid.Archimede’s principle: any body in a fluid
medium will experience a buoyant force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid which is displaced.– Example: a boat on a lake. A portion of the boat is submerged and displaces a given volume of water. The weight of this displaced water equals the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on the boat.
![Page 11: Fluid Mechanics Liquids and gases have the ability to flow They are called fluids There are a variety of “LAWS” that fluids obey Need some definitions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8d511/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BuoyancyThe boat will float if its weight in air is less than or
equal to the weight of an equal volume of water.
Buoyancy is closely related to the concept of density.
Density = mass/volumeSpecific Gravity = Body Weight/Displaced water weight
![Page 12: Fluid Mechanics Liquids and gases have the ability to flow They are called fluids There are a variety of “LAWS” that fluids obey Need some definitions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8d511/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
BuoyancyA ratio of greater than 1 exhibits that the
body will sink because the body weight is more than the displaced water.
A ratio of less than 1 designate that the body will float because the displaced water weight is more than the weight of body.

Example: Underwater weighing
Body composition assessment using the underwater weighing technique is common application of Archimede’s principle.– Human body is composed of varying amounts of muscle, bone, and fat.– Densities of:
Fat: 0.95 g/cm3 Muscle: 1.05-1.10 g/cm3 Bone: 1.4-1.9 g/cm3
– Underwater weighing provides a direct estimate of average body density. Prediction equations then allow for estimation of %fat and %lean body mass.

Center of buoyancy
Increased tilt in water results in greater form drag! This decreases efficiency!
Research has shown that men have a greater drag than women. This creates a greater “feet sinking torque”.
It has been suggested that this is a bigger problem for men than for women.

Density & PressureDensity : Regardless of form (solid, liquid,
gas) we can define how much mass is squeezed into a particular space.
Pressure : A measure of the amount of force exerted on a surface area.
![Page 16: Fluid Mechanics Liquids and gases have the ability to flow They are called fluids There are a variety of “LAWS” that fluids obey Need some definitions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8d511/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pressure in a FluidThe pressure is just the weight of all the fluid
above youAtmospheric pressure is just the weight of all
the air above on area on the surface of the earth
In a swimming pool the pressure on your body surface is just the weight of the water above you (plus the air pressure above the water)
![Page 17: Fluid Mechanics Liquids and gases have the ability to flow They are called fluids There are a variety of “LAWS” that fluids obey Need some definitions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8d511/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pressure in a FluidSo, the only thing that counts in fluid
pressure is the gravitational force acting on the mass ABOVE you
The deeper you go, the more weight above you and the more pressure
Go to a mountaintop and the air pressure is lower

Pressure Concept Pressure acts
perpendicular to the surface and increases at greater depth.

BuoyancyNet upward force is called the buoyant force!!!Easier to lift a rock in water!!

Displacement of WaterThe amount of water displaced is equal to the volume of the rock.

Archimedes’ PrincipleAn immersed body is buoyed up by a force
equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.If the buoyant force on an object is greater
than the force of gravity acting on the object, the object will float
The apparent weight of an object in a liquid is gravitational force (weight) minus the buoyant force

FlotationA floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.

equation results fromconservation of mass.
Continuity equation:
A1v1 = A2v2Area x speed in region 1 = area x speed in region 2

Bernoulli’s Principle
When the speed of a fluid increases, internal pressure in the fluid decreases.
![Page 27: Fluid Mechanics Liquids and gases have the ability to flow They are called fluids There are a variety of “LAWS” that fluids obey Need some definitions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e885503460f94b8d511/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Principles of Fluid FlowThe speed of fluid
flowdepends on crosssectionalarea.
Bernoulli’s principle
states that the pressurein a fluid decreases as the fluid’s velocity increases.
