Examples (all laminar flow) Flow between stationary parallel horizontal plates Flow between inclined parallel plates Pipe flow (Hagen Poiseuille) Why Differential Equations? A droplet of water Clouds Wall jet Hurricane Conservation of Mass in Differential Equation Form Continuity Equation Continuity Equation Continuity Illustrated Navier-Stokes Equations Derived by Claude-Louis-Marie Navier in 1827 General Equation of Fluid Motion Based on conservation of ___________ with forces… ____________ ___________________ ___________________ U.S. National Academy of Sciences has made the full solution of the Navier-Stokes Equations a top priority Navier-Stokes Equations Notation: Total DerivativeEulerian Perspective Application of Navier-Stokes Equations The equations are nonlinear partial differential equations No full analytical solution exists The equations can be solved for several simple flow conditions Numerical solutions to Navier-Stokes equations are increasingly being used to describe complex flows. Navier-Stokes Equations: A Simple Case No acceleration and no velocity gradients Infinite Horizontal Plates: Laminar Flow Infinite Horizontal Plates: Laminar Flow Infinite Horizontal Plates: Boundary Conditions Laminar Flow Between Parallel Plates Flow between Parallel Plates Flow Between Parallel Plates: Integration Boundary Conditions Discharge Example: Oil Skimmer An oil skimmer uses a 5 m wide x 6 m long moving belt above a fixed platform (q=60o) to skim oil off of rivers (T=10 oC). The belt travels at 3 m/s. The distance between the belt and the fixed platform is 2 mm. The belt discharges into an open container on the ship. The fluid is actually a mixture of oil and water. To simplify the analysis, assume crude oil dominates. Find the discharge and the power required to move the belt. Example: Oil Skimmer Example: Oil Skimmer Power Req
