	Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fluid dynamics is the subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that studies fluids in motion.
		Flows of liquids with pressure variations much smaller than those required to cause phase change(cavitation), or flows of gases involving speeds much lower than the isentropic sound speed are termed incompressible.
		For flow of gases, to determine whether to use compressible or incompressible fluid dynamics, the Mach number of the problem is evaluated.

		If the fluid may be treated as incompressible (as is the case with water or in low velocity air flows), the density will be constant.
		In situations where the fluid may be treated as incompressible and temperature differences are small, the continuity and momentum equations are sufficient to specify the velocities and pressure (that is, four equations [continuity+3 momentum] and four unknown quantities [u,v,w and p]).
		This equation demonstrates that, per unit volume, the change in energy of the fluid moving through a control volume is equal to the rate of heat transferred into the control volume plus the rate of work done by surface forces plus the rate of work done by gravity.

	Visualizing Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer
		Due to the symmetry of the flow about the centerplane of the channel, it is possible to display only one axial end of the pressure field to obtain a complete representation of both inboard and outboard sides of the solution.
		The symmetry of the flow is caused by a weak coupling between the governing equations of fluid motion and thermal energy brought about by the small variations in the thermofluid properties of water over the temperature range of the problem.
		Figure 16 is actually a single frame image of a flow trajectory animation wherein the flow speed (m/s) of the red outboard particle is displayed in the lower left, and the elapsed time (ms) from release is shown in the upper left of the frame.

	fluid flow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Fluid flow is a key aspect of chemical engineering processes and design.
		The fluid flow experiment consists of a piping network that includes segments of pipe with different diameter, valves, and various fittings.
		In order to study flow, especially turbulent flow, the Fanning friction factor is defined as the ratio of wall shear stress to the density of the fluid and the velocity head.

	Bone Fluid Flow
		Knothe Tate and her colleagues hypothesize that loss of fluid flow and ensuing compromise to molecular transport and exchange is a mechanism causing loss of cell viability and triggering the remodeling response.
		In the case of disuse, the lack of fluid flow and subsequent deficiency in transport through the tissue causes the osteocytes to fall into a state of deprivation, ultimately resulting in a loss of viability.
		Thus, it is important the in vitro investigations of loading-induced fluid flow as a physical signal regulating bone cell metabolism also be oscillatory and involve a reversal of flow direction.

	Overview of Fluid Mechanics Theory
		For example, for fluid flowing in a pipe, V could be the average fluid velocity, and D would be the pipe diameter.
		Between 2000 and 4000, the flow is in transition between laminar and turbulent, and it is possible to find subregions of both flow types within a given flow field.
		Laminar fluid flow is described by the Navier-Stokes equations.

	Real_Fluid_Flow
		In turbulent flow, secondary random motions are superimposed on the principal flow and there is an exchange of fluid from one adjacent sector to another.
		When the speed of the water flowing through the tube was low, the filament of colored fluid maintained its identity for the entire length of the tube.
		In a low Reynolds number flow, the inertia forces are negligible compared with the viscous forces, whereas in a high Reynolds number flow, the viscous forces are small relative to the inertia forces.

		As chaotic and complex as moving fluid can be, the patterns and motions are very familiar to us, owing perhaps to the fact that we live on a planet in which water is one of the basic necessities of all life.
		The remaining flow and pressure values contain all the energy which has been gathered from the neighbors, and the direction of the vector inherits some average of the directions of neighboring cells whose vectors have contributed the most energy.
		Vectors near the edge which are flowing parallel to the walls are not as affected by the walls, since their offspring are strongest in front and in back, not so much at their sides.

	Ideal Fluid Flow and Conservation of Energy and Mass
		The conclusion drawn from this is that the static pressure decreases in the region of high-speed flow and increases in the region of low-speed flow.
		The continuity equation states that the fluid “mass flow rate”—the amount of fluid per unit time—must be the same at any cross section of the pipe or else there is an accumulation of mass—"mass creation"—and the steady flow assumption is violated.
		Bernoulli's equation states that, in a streamline fluid flow, the greater the speed of the flow, the less the static pressure, and the less the speed of the flow, the greater the static pressure.

		Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Wellbores is an important addition to the available literature.
		Here, the flow pattern is predicted first, either through an empirical map or by invoking some stability-based flow-pattern transition criteria, and then techniques appropriate to that flow pattern are used to compute holdup and pressure drop.
		Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Wellbores should be on the shelf of every reservoir and production engineer; even drilling engineers can benefit from the discussion of the fluid mechanics circulating drilling fluids.

		One is the frictional forces exerted on the fluid by the walls of the pipe and the other is the viscous forces within the fluid.
		Viscous forces within the fluid produce a shearing action that results in tiny layers of fluid of ever-increasing speed which eventually reach the speed of the free stream in the center of the pipe.
		Incompressible flow means that the density of the fluid remains constant.

	Fluid Flow
		What Bernoulli's equation really says is that fluid flow has three forms for its energy and that as long as that fluid flow flows smoothly and without significant friction through a system of stationary obstacles, the sum of those three energies can't change.
		Since the sum of those three energies doesn't change as fluid flow flows through a stationary environment, its pressure typically falls whenever its speed rises and vice versa.
		If the fluid flow also changes altitude significantly, then gravitational potential energy must be included in these energy exchanges.

	Fluid Dynamics
		The fluid flows in the core, from the injector and in the nozzle and plume of the rocket, are high-temperature, high-speed, highly turbulent flows, with entrained chemically reacting aluminum particles from the propellant.
		To predict unsteady pressure conditions in the combustion region, the aeroacoustic forcing of acoustic instabilities, heat and mass transfer to the propellant and nozzle, and erosion of the nozzle by the particles, a three-dimensional, time-dependent simulation of the large scales of turbulent motion is needed.
		There are three interrelated issues to be addressed in performing the turbulent fluid flow simulations: (1) formulation and modeling of the equations governing the large scales of turbulence, (2) treatment of the particles in the flow and (3) numerical representation, discretization, and gridding.

		The motion of the fluid is governed by an empirical law which is analogous to the Fourier heat law.
		For our present fluid flow problems, they are either a given function along part of the boundary, or they are a zero derivative for the remainder of the boundary.

		So we have an expression for the rate at which mass flows in terms of the velocity of fluid flow, density of the fluid and area of the pipe in which the fluid is flowing. This result is very reasonable.
		Examine the flow of air around a streamlined airfoil that bears a striking resemblance to a flying saucer. The air follows streamlines of simple laminar flow as shown below. The air is disturbed very little by this motion.
		The cross sectional area determines the amount of fluid that is disturbed as the object flows through it. Clearly, in order to reduce surface drag it is important to minimize cross sectional area. This principle is demonstrated by the human body positions used in sports such as ski jumping, speed skating, and downhill racing.
