• A skydiver will reach a terminal velocity when the air drag equals his or her weight. For a skydiver with a large body, turbulence is a factor at high speeds. The drag force then is approximately proportional to the square of the velocity. Taking the drag force to be F D = \(\frac{1}{2} \rho Av^{2}\), and setting this equal to the skydiver’s weight, find the terminal speed for a person falling “spread eagle.”
• (a) Verify that a 19.0% decrease in laminar flow through a tube is caused by a 5.00% decrease in radius, assuming that all other factors remain constant. (b) What increase in flow is obtained from a 5.00% increase in radius, again assuming all other factors remain constant?

Challenge Problems

• The pressure on the dam shown early in the problems section increases with depth. Therefore, there is a net torque on the dam. Find the net torque.
• The temperature of the atmosphere is not always constant and can increase or decrease with height. In a neutral atmosphere, where there is not a significant amount of vertical mixing, the temperature decreases at a rate of approximately 6.5 K per km. The magnitude of the decrease in temperature as height increases is known as the lapse rate (Γ). (The symbol is the upper case Greek letter gamma.)

• Logs sometimes float vertically in a lake because one end has become water-logged and denser than the other. What is the average density of a uniform-diameter log that floats with 20.0% of its length above water?
• Scurrilous con artists have been known to represent gold-plated tungsten ingots as pure gold and sell them at prices much below gold value but high above the cost of tungsten. With what accuracy must you be able to measure the mass of such an ingot in and out of water to tell that it is almost pure tungsten rather than pure gold?
• The inside volume of a house is equivalent to that of a rectangular solid 13.0 m wide by 20.0 m long by 2.75 m high. The house is heated by a forced air gas heater. The main uptake air duct of the heater is 0.300 m in diameter. What is the average speed of air in the duct if it carries a volume equal to that of the house’s interior every 15 minutes?
• A garden hose with a diameter of 2.0 cm is used to fill a bucket, which has a volume of 0.10 cubic meters. It takes 1.2 minutes to fill. An adjustable nozzle is attached to the hose to decrease the diameter of the opening, which increases the speed of the water. The hose is held level to the ground at a height of 1.0 meters and the diameter is decreased until a flower bed 3.0 meters away is reached. (a) What is the volume flow rate of the water through the nozzle when the diameter is 2.0 cm? (b) What is the speed of the water coming out of the hose? (c) What does the speed of the water coming out of the hose need to be to reach the flower bed 3.0 meters away? (d) What is the diameter of the nozzle needed to reach the flower bed?
• A frequently quoted rule of thumb in aircraft design is that wings should produce about 1000 N of lift per square meter of wing. (The fact that a wing has a top and bottom surface does not double its area.) (a) At takeoff, an aircraft travels at 60.0 m/s, so that the air speed relative to the bottom of the wing is 60.0 m/s. Given the sea level density of air as 1.29 kg/m 3 , how fast must it move over the upper surface to create the ideal lift? (b) How fast must air move over the upper surface at a cruising speed of 245 m/s and at an altitude where air density is one-fourth that at sea level? (Note that this is not all of the aircraft’s lift—some comes from the body of the plane, some from engine thrust, and so on. Furthermore, Bernoulli’s principle gives an approximate answer because flow over the wing creates turbulence.)
• Two pipes of equal and constant diameter leave a water pumping station and dump water out of an open end that is open to the atmosphere (see the following figure).

14.5 Fluid Dynamics

Learning objectives.

By the end of this section, you will be able to:

• Describe the characteristics of flow
• Calculate flow rate
• Describe the relationship between flow rate and velocity
• Explain the consequences of the equation of continuity to the conservation of mass

The first part of this chapter dealt with fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest. The rest of this chapter deals with fluid dynamics, the study of fluids in motion. Even the most basic forms of fluid motion can be quite complex. For this reason, we limit our investigation to ideal fluid s in many of the examples. An ideal fluid is a fluid with negligible viscosity . Viscosity is a measure of the internal friction in a fluid; we examine it in more detail in Viscosity and Turbulence . In a few examples, we examine an incompressible fluid—one for which an extremely large force is required to change the volume—since the density in an incompressible fluid is constant throughout.

Characteristics of Flow

Velocity vectors are often used to illustrate fluid motion in applications like meteorology. For example, wind—the fluid motion of air in the atmosphere—can be represented by vectors indicating the speed and direction of the wind at any given point on a map. Figure 14.24 shows velocity vectors describing the winds during Hurricane Arthur in 2014.

Another method for representing fluid motion is a streamline . A streamline represents the path of a small volume of fluid as it flows. The velocity is always tangential to the streamline. The diagrams in Figure 14.25 use streamlines to illustrate two examples of fluids moving through a pipe. The first fluid exhibits a laminar flow (sometimes described as a steady flow), represented by smooth, parallel streamlines. Note that in the example shown in part (a), the velocity of the fluid is greatest in the center and decreases near the walls of the pipe due to the viscosity of the fluid and friction between the pipe walls and the fluid. This is a special case of laminar flow, where the friction between the pipe and the fluid is high, known as no slip boundary conditions. The second diagram represents turbulent flow , in which streamlines are irregular and change over time. In turbulent flow, the paths of the fluid flow are irregular as different parts of the fluid mix together or form small circular regions that resemble whirlpools. This can occur when the speed of the fluid reaches a certain critical speed.

Flow Rate and its Relation to Velocity

The volume of fluid passing by a given location through an area during a period of time is called flow rate Q , or more precisely, volume flow rate. In symbols, this is written as

where V is the volume and t is the elapsed time. In Figure 14.26 , the volume of the cylinder is Ax , so the flow rate is

The SI unit for flow rate is m 3 /s, m 3 /s, but several other units for Q are in common use, such as liters per minute (L/min). Note that a liter (L) is 1/1000 of a cubic meter or 1000 cubic centimeters ( 10 −3 m 3 or 10 3 cm 3 ) . ( 10 −3 m 3 or 10 3 cm 3 ) .

Flow rate and velocity are related, but quite different, physical quantities. To make the distinction clear, consider the flow rate of a river. The greater the velocity of the water, the greater the flow rate of the river. But flow rate also depends on the size and shape of the river. A rapid mountain stream carries far less water than the Amazon River in Brazil, for example. Figure 14.26 illustrates the volume flow rate. The volume flow rate is Q = d V d t = A v , Q = d V d t = A v , where A A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe and v is the magnitude of the velocity.

The precise relationship between flow rate Q and average speed v is

where A is the cross-sectional area and v v is the average speed. The relationship tells us that flow rate is directly proportional to both the average speed of the fluid and the cross-sectional area of a river, pipe, or other conduit. The larger the conduit, the greater its cross-sectional area. Figure 14.26 illustrates how this relationship is obtained. The shaded cylinder has a volume V = A d V = A d , which flows past the point P in a time t . Dividing both sides of this relationship by t gives

We note that Q = V / t Q = V / t and the average speed is v   = d / t v   = d / t . Thus the equation becomes Q = A v Q = A v .

Figure 14.27 shows an incompressible fluid flowing along a pipe of decreasing radius. Because the fluid is incompressible, the same amount of fluid must flow past any point in the tube in a given time to ensure continuity of flow. The flow is continuous because they are no sources or sinks that add or remove mass, so the mass flowing into the pipe must be equal the mass flowing out of the pipe. In this case, because the cross-sectional area of the pipe decreases, the velocity must necessarily increase. This logic can be extended to say that the flow rate must be the same at all points along the pipe. In particular, for arbitrary points 1 and 2,

This is called the equation of continuity and is valid for any incompressible fluid (with constant density). The consequences of the equation of continuity can be observed when water flows from a hose into a narrow spray nozzle: It emerges with a large speed—that is the purpose of the nozzle. Conversely, when a river empties into one end of a reservoir, the water slows considerably, perhaps picking up speed again when it leaves the other end of the reservoir. In other words, speed increases when cross-sectional area decreases, and speed decreases when cross-sectional area increases.

Since liquids are essentially incompressible, the equation of continuity is valid for all liquids. However, gases are compressible, so the equation must be applied with caution to gases if they are subjected to compression or expansion.

Example 14.5

Calculating fluid speed through a nozzle.

• We solve the flow rate equation for speed and use π r 1 2 π r 1 2 for the cross-sectional area of the hose, obtaining v = Q A = Q π r 1 2 . v = Q A = Q π r 1 2 . Substituting values and using appropriate unit conversions yields v = ( 0.500 L/s ) ( 10 −3 m 3 /L ) 3.14 ( 9.00 × 10 −3 m ) 2 = 1.96 m/s . v = ( 0.500 L/s ) ( 10 −3 m 3 /L ) 3.14 ( 9.00 × 10 −3 m ) 2 = 1.96 m/s .
• We could repeat this calculation to find the speed in the nozzle v 2 v 2 , but we use the equation of continuity to give a somewhat different insight. The equation states A 1 v 1 = A 2 v 2 . A 1 v 1 = A 2 v 2 . Solving for v 2 v 2 and substituting π r 2 π r 2 for the cross-sectional area yields v 2 = A 1 A 2 v 1 = π r 1 2 π r 2 2 v 1 = r 1 2 r 2 2 v 1 . v 2 = A 1 A 2 v 1 = π r 1 2 π r 2 2 v 1 = r 1 2 r 2 2 v 1 . Substituting known values, v 2 = (0.900 cm) 2 (0.250 cm) 2 1.96 m/s = 25.5 m/s . v 2 = (0.900 cm) 2 (0.250 cm) 2 1.96 m/s = 25.5 m/s .

Significance

The solution to the last part of the example shows that speed is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the tube, making for large effects when radius varies. We can blow out a candle at quite a distance, for example, by pursing our lips, whereas blowing on a candle with our mouth wide open is quite ineffective.

Mass Conservation

The rate of flow of a fluid can also be described by the mass flow rate or mass rate of flow. This is the rate at which a mass of the fluid moves past a point. Refer once again to Figure 14.26 , but this time consider the mass in the shaded volume. The mass can be determined from the density and the volume:

The mass flow rate is then

where ρ ρ is the density, A is the cross-sectional area, and v is the magnitude of the velocity. The mass flow rate is an important quantity in fluid dynamics and can be used to solve many problems. Consider Figure 14.28 . The pipe in the figure starts at the inlet with a cross sectional area of A 1 A 1 and constricts to an outlet with a smaller cross sectional area of A 2 A 2 . The mass of fluid entering the pipe has to be equal to the mass of fluid leaving the pipe. For this reason the velocity at the outlet ( v 2 ) ( v 2 ) is greater than the velocity of the inlet ( v 1 ) ( v 1 ) . Using the fact that the mass of fluid entering the pipe must be equal to the mass of fluid exiting the pipe, we can find a relationship between the velocity and the cross-sectional area by taking the rate of change of the mass in and the mass out:

Equation 14.15 is also known as the continuity equation in general form. If the density of the fluid remains constant through the constriction—that is, the fluid is incompressible—then the density cancels from the continuity equation,

The equation reduces to show that the volume flow rate into the pipe equals the volume flow rate out of the pipe.
