The text discusses concepts in fluid mechanics such as streamlines, pathlines, streaklines and the Reynolds number. It also covers conservation equations and the Navier-Stokes equations.

The continuity equation, momentum equation, and energy equation are discussed. Other equations mentioned include the Bernoulli equation.

Assumptions that can be made include steady state, incompressible, inviscid, and uniform velocity.

Test 1

Number of dimensions based on x, y, and z


Steady depends on t
If Steady: Pathline = Streakline = Streamline
Streamline: A line that is everywhere tangent to local
velocity vector



Pathline: Actual path traversed by a fluid particle



Streakline: Particles that have pass through a specific
point
For block example and really really small h:
Laminar flow: Low Reynolds number, smooth flow
Unstable flow: Re = Re
crit

Turbulent flow: Re > Re
crit


For Mach < 0.3 assume incompressible
