Differential vs Integral Approach in

Fluid Mechanics
The differential approach aims at finding the
flow characteristics at every point within a
fluid flow domain.
The integral approach is concerned with
overall effect of fluid flow in a certain domain.
The integral approach requires to define a
control volume in space over which
conservation equations are applied
25
Examples of Integral Approach
26
Integral Approach
What are the equations to apply on the
control volume?
- Conservation of mass equation!
system mass remains constant
- Conservation of momentum equation!
Sum of Forces applied on a mass = m x a
