  2. The Nature of Fluids What is a fluid? • a substance that flows or continuously deforms when subjected to a shear stress • both liquids and gases are fluids • air and water are fluids that commonly exert forces on the human body Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  3. The Nature of Fluids What is relative velocity? (velocity of a body with respect to the velocity of something else, such as the surrounding fluid) Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  4. Velocity of cyclist relative to wind (20 m/s) Cyclist’s velocity (15 m/s) Head wind velocity (5 m/s) Velocity of cyclist relative to wind (10 m/s) Cyclist’s velocity (15 m/s) Tail wind velocity (5 m/s) The Nature of Fluids vc/w = vc- vw Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  5. The Nature of Fluids What is laminar flow? Laminar flow is characterized by smooth, parallel layers of fluid. Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  6. Region of turbulence Motion of sphere The Nature of Fluids What is turbulent flow? Turbulent flow is characterized by mixing of adjacent fluid layers. Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  7. The Nature of Fluids What are relevant fluid properties? • density - mass/volume • specific weight - weight/volume • viscosity - internal resistance of a fluid to flow Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  8. Buoyancy What is buoyancy? • a fluid force with: • magnitude based on Archimedes’ principle, • direction always vertically upward, • and point of application being a body’s center of volume. Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  9. Buoyancy What is Archimedes’ principle? A physical law stating that the buoyant force acting on a body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body: Fb= Vd Where Fb = buoyant force, Vd = displaced fluid volume,  = fluid specific weight Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  10. Buoyancy What determines whether a body floats or sinks? • Floating occurs when the buoyant force is greaterthan or equal to body weight. • Sinking occurs when body weight is greater than the buoyant force. Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  11. Buoyancy What determines whether a body floats or sinks? The equation of static equilibrium for vertical force can be used to quantitatively answer this question: Fv = 0 0 = V - wt Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  12. Buoyant force Center of volume Weight A Center of gravity Buoyant force Center of volume Center of gravity B Weight Buoyancy A floating body at rest (position A) will rotate until the buoyant force and weight force are vertically aligned (position B) so that zero torque is present. Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  13. Drag What is drag? • a force caused by the dynamic action of a fluid that acts in the direction of the freestreamfluid flow • generally a resistance force that tends to slow the motion of a body moving through a fluid Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  14. Drag What factors affect the total drag force? FD= ½CDApv2 • Where: • FD = drag, • CD = the coefficient of drag - a unitless number; an index of a body’s ability to generate fluid resistance •  = fluid density • Ap = body surface area perpendicular to the fluid flow • v = relative velocity of the body with respect to the fluid Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  15. Drag Pattern of change in drag force with increasing relative velocity. Drag force Laminar Turbulent v2 v1 Relative velocity From 0 to v1 drag increases approximately with velocity squared (v2.) At v1 there is sufficient relative velocity to generate a turbulent boundary layer, which is why, from v1 to v2, form drag decreases. After v2, total drag increases. Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  16. Drag What is skin friction? • drag derived from friction in adjacent layers of fluid near a body moving through the fluid • AKA surface drag and viscous drag Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  17. Turbulent boundary layer Laminar boundary layer Fluid flow Drag What is skin friction? Side view of fluid flow around a flat thin plate. Skin friction is the form of drag that predominates when the flow is primarily laminar. Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  18. Drag What factors affect the magnitude of skin friction? • Skin friction increases with: • the relative velocity of fluid flow • the surface area of the body over which the flow occurs • the roughness of the body surface • the viscosity of the fluid Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  19. Region of turbulence Motion of sphere Drag What is form drag? Form drag is derived from a pressure differential between the lead and rear sides of a body moving through a fluid. It is also known as profile drag and pressure drag. Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  20. A B Drag What is form drag? A streamlined shape (A) reduces form drag by reducing the turbulence created at the trailing edge, (thus reducing the pressure differential present in B.) Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  21. Drag What factors affect the magnitude of form drag? • Form drag increases with: • the relative velocity of fluid flow • the magnitude of the pressure gradient between the front and rear ends of the body • the surface area of the body perpendicular to the fluid flow Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  22. Drag What is wave drag? (drag derived from the generation of waves at the interface between two different fluids, such as air and water) Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  23. Drag What factors affect the magnitude of wave drag? • Wave drag increaseswith: • the vertical oscillation of the body with respect to the fluid • the relative velocity of the body in the fluid Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  24. Lift What is lift? • a force acting on a body in a fluid in a direction perpendicular to the fluid flow • generally a resistance force that tends to slow the motion of a body moving through a fluid Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  26. Lift What factors affect the magnitude of lift? • Lift increases with: • the relative velocity of fluid flow • the surface area of the flat side of the foil • the coefficient of lift • the density of the fluid Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  27. High velocity low pressure Low velocity high pressure Lift What is a foil? (a shape capable of generating liftin a fluid) Lift generated by a foil is directed from the region of relative high pressure on the flat side of the foil toward the region of relative low pressure on the curved side of the foil. Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J. Hall, Ph.D.

  28. Lift What is the Bernouli principle? • an expression of the inverse relationship between relative velocity and relative pressure in a fluid flow • regions of low relative velocity are associated with relative high pressure • regions of high relative velocity are associated with relative low pressure Basic Biomechanics, 6th edition By Susan J.
