Introduction to Fluid Mechanics Chapter 2 Fundamental Concepts
Main Topics • Fluid as a Continuum • Velocity Field • Stress Field • Viscosity • Surface Tension • Description and Classification of Fluid Motions
Velocity Field Consider also • Steady and Unsteady Flows • 1D, 2D, and 3D Flows • Timelines, Pathlines, and Streaklines
Viscosity • Newtonian Fluids • Most of the common fluids (water, air, oil, etc.) • “Linear” fluids
Viscosity • Non-Newtonian Fluids • Special fluids (e.g., most biological fluids, toothpaste, some paints, etc.) • “Non-linear” fluids
Viscosity • Non-Newtonian Fluids
