1
New cards

mechanics

study of motion

2
New cards

what is a common example of an incompressible fluid?

water

3
New cards

what is a common example of a compressible fluid?

air

4
New cards

what is a fluid?

A substance that flows freely, such as a liquid or a gas

5
New cards

what is the energy contained by the space between molecules?

internal energy

6
New cards

what is normal stress known as in fluid dynamics?

pressure

7
New cards

how does a fluid respond to shear stress?

deforms continuously

8
New cards

In solids, stress is proportional to strain, but in fluids, stress is proportional to

strain rate

9
New cards

Distinction between a solid and a fluid is made on the basis of the substance's ability to _ an applied shear (or tangential) stress.

resist

10
New cards

what is the no-slip condition?

there is no slip between the fluid and the surface

11
New cards

does the no-slip condition result in a boundary layer?

yes

12
New cards

a no-slip fluid is viscous or inviscid?

viscous

13
New cards

A viscous fluid has a boundary layer. T/F?

True, viscous = boundary layer

14
New cards

what defines a fluid as incompressible?

consistent density throughout, if the change in density after being compressed is less than 5%

15
New cards

what is it called when an object's speed is less than the speed of sound?

subsonic

16
New cards

what is it called when an object's speed is greater than the speed of sound?

supersonic

17
New cards

what is it called when an object's speed is equal to the speed of sound?

sonic

18
New cards

what is it called when an object is moving at a speed between 0.9 times the speed of sound and 1.1 times the speed of sound?

transonic

19
New cards

what is the formula for/define mach number?

ratio of speed of flow to speed of sound

20
New cards

Explain laminar vs. turbulent.

laminar: orderly layers of flow, with a thick boundary layer
turbulent: disorderly, high velocity, with a thin boundary layer

21
New cards

what is Reynold's number? (definition, not formula)

a value designating how turbulent a fluid's flow will be, inertial force/viscous force

22
New cards

high vs low RN

high: turbulent, low: laminar

23
New cards

what does it mean when a fluid is classified as viscous?

it is thick, it has a high viscosity

24
New cards

what does it mean when a fluid is classified as inviscid?

it is thin, it has a low viscosity

25
New cards

what kind of force does a viscous fluid create?

resistant, friction, sheer

26
New cards

thick, viscous fluids require (more/less) force to move

more

27
New cards

viscous fluids experience a _ in energy much greater than inviscid fluids

loss

28
New cards

Define and give an example of Internal vs external flows

internal: flowing within something, pipes
external: flowing around something, air/wind

29
New cards

Define and give an example of Steady vs unsteady flows

steady: no change with time, such as a system during normal operation
unsteady: a function of time, a system right after being turned on/off

30
New cards

What is 1D, 2D, & 3D? Compare

Everything in real life is 3D, but we make assumptions, such as setting certain values as constants to make problem solving/calculations easier

31
New cards

Uniform flow is

spatial, with a constant velocity with position

32
New cards

a non-uniform flow has

changes in its velocity

33
New cards

control volume is a(n) ____ system

open

34
New cards

control mass is a(n) ____ system

closed

35
New cards

list the 7 primary dimensions

length, mass, time, temperature, current, light, volume (cllmttv)

36
