A dependent variable in our study of uids
depends, in general, on the three space
coordinates and time, i.e., V(x, y, z, t). The
ow that depends on three space coordinates
is a three-dimensional ow; it could be a
steady ow if time is not involved, such as
would be the case in the ow near the
intersection of a wing and the fuselage of an
aircraft ying at a constant speed. The ow
in a washing machine would be an unsteady,
three-dimensional ow.
3
One-dimensional ows are ows in which the
velocity depends on only one space variable.
Developed ows; where the velocity proles do not
change with respect to the downstream coordinate.
4
In the uniform ow, as shown in the Fig.; the
velocity prole, and other properties such as
pressure, is uniform across the section of pipe.
This prole is often assumed in pipe and
channel ow problems since it approximates
the more common turbulent ow so well.
5
In an inviscid ow the effects of viscosity can
be completely neglected with no signicant
effects on the solution to a problem. All
uids have viscosity and if the viscous effects
cannot be neglected, it is a viscous ow.
Viscous effects are very important in pipe
ows and many other kinds of ows inside
conduits; they lead to losses and require
pumps in long pipelines. But, there are ows
in which we can neglect the inuence of
viscosity.
6
Consider an external ow, ow external to a body,
such as the ow around an airfoil or a hydrofoil, as
shown in Fig. If the airfoil is moving relatively fast
(faster than about 1 m/s), the ow away from a thin
layer near the boundary, a boundary layer, can be
assumed to have zero viscosity with no signicant
effect on the solution to the ow eld (the velocity,
pressure, temperature elds).
7
All the viscous effects are concentrated inside
the boundary layer and cause the velocity to be
zero at the surface of the airfoil, the no-slip
condition. Since inviscid ows are easier to
solve than viscous ows, the recognition that
the viscosity can be ignored in the ow away
from the surface leads to much simpler
solutions.
8
A viscous ow is either a laminar ow or a turbulent
ow. In a turbulent ow there is mixing of uid
particles so that the motion of a given particle is
random and very irregular; statistical averages are
used to specify the velocity, the pressure, and other
quantities of interest. Such an average may be
steady in that it is independent of time, or the
average may be unsteady and depend on time. The
following figure shows steady and unsteady
turbulent ows. Notice the noisy turbulent ow from
a faucet When you get a drink of water.

In a laminar ow there is negligible mixing of uid
particles; the motion is smooth and noiseless, like
the slow ow of water from a faucet. If a dye is
injected into a laminar ow, it remains distinct for a
relatively long period of time. The dye would be
immediately diffused if the ow were turbulent.
Figure shows a steady and an unsteady laminar ow.

Character of the steady, viscous
flow past a circular cylinder:
(a) low Reynolds number flow, (b)
moderate Reynolds number flow,
(c) large Reynolds number flow.
Far from the surface, the fluid
velocity is unaffected.
In a thin region near the
surface, the velocity is reduced
this is a good
approximation near
the front of the
plate
Hydrodynamic boundary layer
One of the most important concepts in understanding the external flows
is the boundary layer development. For simplicity, we are going to
analyze a boundary layer flow over a flat plate with no curvature and no
external pressure variation.

Boundary layer definition
Boundary layer thickness (d): defined as the distance away from the
surface where the local velocity reaches to 99% of the free-stream
velocity, that is u(y=d)=0.99U. Somewhat an easy to understand but
arbitrary definition.
Boundary layer is usually very thin: d/x usually << 1.
The free stream velocity is u0, but next to
the plate, the flow is reduced by drag
Farther along the plate, the affect of the
drag is felt by more of the stream, and
because of this
The boundary layer grows
At a certain point, viscous forces become to small
relative to inertial forces to damp fluctuations

Separation starts with zero velocity gradient at the
wall
28
There is an increase in drag as a result of
separation as it prevents pressure recovery
There is low pressure in separated region and it
persists in the entire region.
Turbulent eddies formed due to separation can not
convert their rotational energy back into pressure
head. So there is no pressure recovery (increase).
The difference between high pressure at the front
and low pressure at rear increases the drag.
This increase in drag overshadows any increase in
lift due to increase in the angle of attack
Streamlining reduces adverse pressure
gradient beyond the maximum thickness and
delays separation
Fluid particles lose kinetic energy near
separation point. So these are either removed
by suction or higher energy

Key to understanding: Friction causes flow separation within boundary layer
Separation then creates another form of drag called pressure drag due to
separation.
