element

Linear Motion and Deformation
The simplest type of
motion that a fluid
element can undergo
is translation as
shown in Figure.
Because of presence
of velocity gradients,
the element will
generally be
deformed and rotates
as it move Translation of a fluid element.

Linear Motion and Deformation
Consider the effect of a single velocity gradient,
u/x, on a small cube having side x, y, and z
as shown in Figure.

For a certain two dimensional flow field the
velocity is given by the equation

Problem 2
An incompressible viscous fluid is placed

upper plate moves with constant velocity, U.
For this conditions the velocity distribution
between the plates is linear and can be

called the stream function.

www.fkm.uitm.edu.m endeavour religious 23
The Stream Function
By using the stream function we can simplified
two unknown function, u(x,y) and (x,y) to only
one unknown function, (x,y).
Advantages of using a stream function is related
to the fact that lines along which is constant
are streamlines.

Streamline are lines in flow field that are


everywhere tangent to the velocities.
www.fkm.uitm.edu.m endeavour religious 24
The Stream Function
From the definition of the
streamlines that the slope at any
point along a streamlines is given by
Streamline
dy

dx u
The change in the value of as it move from
one point (x,y) to a nearby point (x + dx, y + dy)
is given a relationship:


d dx dy dx udy

pattern
www.fkm.uitm.edu.m endeavour religious 26
The Stream Function
The change in the value of
is related to the volume
rate of flow.
From conservation of mass,
the inflow, dq, crossing the
arbitrary surface AC must
equal the net outflow
through surfaces AB and
BC. Thus,

Therefore,

The Stream Function
The volume rate of flow , q, between two
streamlines such as 1 and 2 as shown in
figure can be determine by

dq 1 d 2

If the upper streamline, 2 , has a value greater
than the lower streamline, 2, then q is positive.

www.fkm.uitm.edu.m endeavour religious 30
Irrotational flow
The rotation of a fluid element is equal to
(V), and irrotational flow field is one for
which V = 0.
Since the vorticity, , is defined as V, it also
follows that in an irrotational flow field the
vorticity is zero.
Since the vector components of fluid flow include
the various velocity gradients, the condition of
irrotationality imposes specific relationships
among these velocity gradient

www.fkm.uitm.edu.m endeavour religious 31


Irrotational flow
For example, for rotation about the z-axis to be
zero, it follows that

For an irrotational flow the velocity gradients are

z
www.fkm.uitm.edu.m endeavour religious 33
The Velocity Potential
In vector form the velocity potential can be
written as,
V
So that for an irrotational flow the velocity is
expressible as the gradient of scalar function .
For incompressible fluid, from conservation of
mass it shows that
V 0

Vortex
For an irrotational vortex,
if a pair of small stick
are place in the flow
field at
location A, the sticks
would
rotate as they move to
location B.
The stick that aligned along the streamline,
would follow a circular path rotate in a counter
clockwise direction and the other stick rotate in a
clockwise due to the nature of the flow field.

Vortex
If the fluid were rotating as a
rigid body, such that

constant, then sticks
similarly placed in the flow
field would rotate as
illustrated in figure
This type of vortex motion is rotational and
cannot be described with a velocity potential.
Rotational vortex is commonly known as force
vortex, whereas irrotational vortex is usually
called a free vortex.

A mathematical concept
commonly associated with
vortex motion is the that
of circulation, .
The circulation, , is define
is defined as the line integral
of tangential component of

The circulation,

www.fkm.uitm.edu.m endeavour religious 58
Vortex
For irrotational flow, V =
so that Vds = d
and therefore,

C d 0
The result indicates that for an irrotational flow
the circulation will generally be zero.
If there are singularities enclosed within the
curve the circulation may not be zero.

The circulation around any path that does not
include the singular point at the origin will be

To represent flow around a circular for the
stream function, take = constant at r =
a, where a is the radius of the cylinder.
Since the stream function can be written
as, K
U 2 r sin

Then if = 0 at r =

From the velocity component it shows that


the maximum velocity occurs at the top and
the bottom of the cylinder ( = /2) and has
a magnitude of twice the upstream velocity,
U.
As it move away from the
cylinder along the ray =
/2 the velocity varies as
shown in this figure.

Flow Around Circular Cylinder
The pressure distribution on the cylinder surface
is obtained from Bernoulli equation from the
pressure p0 (measure at a point far from the
cylinder) and the velocity is U so that

ps is the surface pressure
Since s = -2Usin, the surface pressure an be
expressed as

The resultant force (per unit length) developed
on the cylinder can be determined by integrating
the pressure over the surface.

Interesting potential flow can be developed by
adding a free vortex to the stream function or
velocity potential for the flow around a cylinder.

The circle r = a will still be a streamline, since
the streamlines for the added free vortex are all
circular.
The tangential velocity, , on the surface of the
cylinder (r = a) now becomes

This type of flow field could be approximately
created by placing a rotating cylinder in a
uniform stream.

A variety of streamline pattern can be
developed, depending on the vortex strength, .
In example the location of stagnation points on
the surface of the cylinder can be determine

For -1 /4Ua 1, the stagnation points will


occur at some other location on the surface
