This has applications in the design of dams and water barriers such as sluice gates. The theory and calculations related to hydrostatic force are explained in Sect. 2.3 . Solution approaches to problems in fluid statics are illustrated via many example problems.Nandagopal, PE, Nuggenhalli S....
Pipe network problems are thus solved by setting up a number of such equations and solving them simultaneously. For a large number of pipes a computer program may be needed to handle the number of variables and equations. An example of a pipe network computer solution is given in Douglas et...
fluid mechanics, and hydrodynamics. Fluid statics focuses on the behavior of fluids at rest, while fluid mechanics deals with the motion of fluids and the forces acting on them. Hydrodynamics is the study of fluid motion in response to external forces such as gravity, ...
We deal first with fluid statics and learn about the buoyant force exerted by fluids (Archimedes’ principle). Next, we derive and apply the pressure–depth relation, which relates fluid pressure to depth below the fluid surface. We deal with two basic equations: (1) the equation of continuit...
Fluid mechanics can be divided intofluid statics, the study of fluids at rest;fluidkinematics, the study of fluids in motion; andfluid dynamics, the study of the effect offorces on fluid motion. It is a branch ofcontinuum mechanics, a subject which models matterwithout using the information ...
It can be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest; and fluid dynamics, the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. It is a branch of continuum mechanics, a subject which models matter without using the information that it is made out of atoms; that is, it ...
In fluid statics, as well as in fluid dynamics, the forces acting on a portion of fluid (CV) bounded by a CS are of two kinds: body forces and surface forces. Body Forces: act on the entire body of the fluid (force per unit volume). ...
The study of fluid problems involving free boundary evolution mostly concerns with an interface between two phases (cf. [26]), whereas the interest of the current paper is the situation where three phases of matter meet (typically, liquid–solid-air), generating a contact line/point (also ...
It is of interest to obtain a static solution, firstly to solve problems involving static fluids and secondly to obtain initial conditions for dynamic solutions. The reduction of the above formulation to statics is not trivial because the continuity equation is written in terms of the time derivati...
Similarly, FSI problems where solid undergoes the plastic deformation under the fluid loads is a little-explored area. In one example [231], FSI problem involving hypo-elastic solid material is presented. The numerical complexities arising due to high deformations in the solid domain are addressed ...
