Preface to the Third Edition

Though fluid dynamics is primarily concerned with the study of causes and effects of the motion of fluids, it provides a convenient general framework to model systems with complicated interactions among their constituents. This is accomplished via a formalism that uses only a few macroscopic quantities like pressure while ignoring the practically intractable details of these particle interactions. A case in point was the use of a liquid drop model of an atomic nucleus in describing the nuclear fission of heavy elements. In fact, George Uhlenbeck (one of the two famous original proponents of electron spin) pointed out that “every physicist should have some familiarity with the field (fluid dynamics).”

This book is concerned with a discussion of the dynamical behavior of a fluid and seeks to provide the readers with a sound and systematic account of the most important and representative types of fluid flow phenomena. Particular attention has been paid, as with the Second Edition, to emphasize the most generally useful fundamental ideas and formulations of fluid dynamics.

This book is addressed primarily to graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics and theoretical physics. Nonetheless, graduate students and researchers in engineering will find the ideas and formulations in this book to be useful - as confirmed by book reviews on the previous two editions.

The effort to keep the length of the introduction to mainstream fluid dynamics reasonable makes it difficult to provide a thorough treatment of every topic. For instance, engineering details like the skin-friction calculations in boundary layer theory are not dealt with in this book. In the same vein, non-newtonian fluids (for which the coefficient of viscosity is dependent on the rate of deformation of the fluid) have also been excised from the discussion.

As with the Second Edition, flows of an incompressible fluid have been given especially large coverage in the text because of their central place in the subject. In the references provided at the end, I have tried to mention papers connected with the original developments and formulations given in this book. This list is not to be construed as being exhaustive in covering these details. Furthermore, a few exercises have been provided at the end of each chapter. In addition to being essential to understand the ideas and formulations discussed in this book, the solutions to these exercises are intended to encourage further exploration of those topics.

The Third Edition, constitutes an extensive revision and rewrite of the text, and entails the following main features:

major reorganization of several topics to facilitate a smoother reading experience.

refinement and detailed reworking of mathematical developments

addition of several new topics:

Hamiltonian formulation of two-dimensional incompressible flows

Variational principle for surface waves in water

Tidal bores

The dam break problem

The shock tube

Burgers vortex;

addition of several new exercise problems.

Since the discussion of incompressible, compressible and viscous flows constitute the teaching material for three graduate courses, I dropped the discussion of hydrodynamic stability and turbulence from the Third Edition. Special topics like hydrodynamic stability and turbulence are typically not included in the mainstream fluid dynamics graduate course package.

For the readership, an elementary background in fluid dynamics is helpful, but familiarity with the theory and the analytical methods (perturbation methods, in particular) of solutions to differential equations is an essential prerequisite.

In closing, I wish to place on record with gratitude, the immense ingenuity of several applied mathematicians, theoretical physicists, and engineers who developed the theoretical formulations of fluid flows. This great activity is not complete and several major theoretical developments are still to come. However, the most important message from the theoretical accomplishments so far is that analytical formulations are still feasible. Therefore, one may not resort too quickly to exploring on the computer as it may not necessarily provide a proper organization of knowledge and a clear insight into the dynamical behavior of fluids.

Part I Basic Concepts and Equations of Fluid Dynamics

1 Introduction to the Fluid Model

While dealing with a fluid, in reality, one deals with a system that has many particles which interact with one another. The main utility of fluid dynamics is the ability to develop a formalism which deals solely with a few macroscopic quantities like pressure, while ignoring the details of the particle interactions. Therefore, the techniques of fluid dynamics have often been found useful in modeling systems with complicated interactions (which are either not known or very difficult to describe) between the constituents. Thus, the first successful model of the nuclear fission of heavy elements was the liquid drop model of the nucleus, which treats the nucleus as a fluid. This replaces the many body problem of calculating the interactions of all the protons and neutrons with the much simpler problem of calculating the pressures and surface tension in this fluid.1 Of course, this treatment gives only a very rough approximation to reality, but it is nonetheless a very useful way of approaching the problem.

The primary purpose of fluid dynamics is to study the causes and effects of the motion of fluids. Fluid dynamics seeks to construct a mathematical theory of fluid motion based on the smallest number of dynamical principles, which are adequate to correlate the different types of fluid flow as far as their macroscopic features are concerned. In many circumstances, the incompressible, inviscid fluid model is sufficiently representative of real fluid properties to provide a satisfactory account of a great variety of fluid motions. It turns out that such a model makes accurate predictions for the airflow around streamlined bodies moving at low speeds. While dealing with streamlined bodies (which minimize flow-separation) in flows of fluids of small viscosities, one may divide the flow field into two parts. The first part, where the viscous effects are appreciable consists of a thin boundary layer adjacent to the body and a small wake behind the body. The second part is the rest of the flow field that behaves essentially like an inviscid fluid. Such a division greatly facilitates the mathematical analysis in that the inviscid flow field can first be determined independent of the boundary layer near the body. The pressure field obtained from the inviscid-flow calculation is then used to calculate the flow in the boundary layer.

An attractive feature of fluid dynamics is that it provides ample room for the subject to be expounded as a branch of applied mathematics and theoretical physics.

1.1 The Fluid State

A fluid is a material that offers resistance to attempts to produce relative motions of its different elements, but deforms continually upon the application of surface forces. A fluid does not have a preferred shape, and different elements of a homogeneous fluid may be rearranged freely without affecting the macroscopic properties of the fluid. Fluids, unlike solids, cannot support tension or negative pressure. Thus, the occurrence of negative pressures in a mathematical solution of a fluid flow is an indication that this solution does not correspond to a physically possible situation. However, a thin layer of fluid can support a large normal load while offering very little resistance to tangential motion – a property which finds practical use in lubricated bearings.

A fluid of course, is discrete on the microscopic level, and the fluid properties fluctuate violently, when viewed at this level. However, while considering problems in which the dimensions of interest are very large compared to molecular distances, one ignores the molecular structure and endows the fluid with a continuous distribution of matter. The fluid properties can then be taken to vary smoothly in space and time. The characteristics of a fluid, caused by molecular effects, such as viscosity, are incorporated into the equation of fluid flows as experimentally obtained empirical parameters.

Fluids can exist in either of two stable phases – liquids, and gases. In case of gases, under ordinary conditions, the molecules are so far apart that each molecule moves independently of its neighbors except when making an occasional “collision.” In liquids, on the other hand, a molecule is continually within the strong cohesive force fields of several neighbors at all times. Gases can be compressed much more readily than liquids. Consequently, for a gas, any flow involving appreciable variations in pressure will be accompanied by much larger changes in density. However, in cases where the fluid flows are accompanied by only slight variations in pressure, gases and liquids behave similarly.

In formulations of fluid flows, it is useful to think that a fluid particle is small enough on a macroscopic level that it may be taken to have uniform macroscopic properties. However, it is large enough to contain sufficient number of molecules to diminish the molecular fluctuations. This allows one to associate with it a macroscopic property which is a statistical average of the corresponding molecular property over a large number of molecules. This is the continuum hypothesis.

As an illustration of the limiting process by which the local continuum properties are defined, consider the mass density ρ. Imagine a small volume δV surrounding a point P, let δm be the total mass of material instantaneously in δV . The ratio , as δV reduces to , where is the volume of fluid particle, is taken to give the mass density ρ at P.

1.2 Description of the Flow-Field

The continuum model affords a field description, in that the average properties in the volume surrounding the point P are assigned in the limit to the point P itself. If q represents a typical continuum property, then one has a fictitious continuum characterized by an aggregate of such local values of q, i.e., . This enables one to consider what happens at every fixed point in space as a function of time – the so-called Eulerian description. In an alternative approach, called the Lagrangian description, the dynamical quantities, as in particle mechanics, refer more fundamentally to identifiable pieces of matter, and one looks for the dynamical history of a selected fluid element.

Imagine a fluid moving in a region Ω (see Figure 1.1). Each particle of fluid follows a certain trajectory. Thus, for each point in Ω, there exists a path line given by

(1)

Figure 1.1 Motion of a fluid particle.

where the flow mapping , depends continuously on the parameter t. and its inverse are both continuous, so this mapping is one-to-one and onto.2

The velocity of the flow is given by

(2)

We then have the following results.

Theorem 1.1 (Existence)  Assume that the flow velocity is a C1 function of x and t. Then, for each pair , there exists a unique integral curve – the path line, defined on some small interval in t about t0, such that

Theorem 1.2 (Boundedness)  Consider a region Ω with a smooth boundary . If the flow velocity x is parallel to , then the integral curves of i.e., the path lines starting in Ω remain in Ω.

Streamlines are obtained by holding t fixed, say , and solving the differential equation

(3)

Streamlines coincide with pathlines if the flow is steady, i.e., if

The transformation from the Eulerian to the Lagrangian description is given by

(4)

Since the Lagrangian description makes the formalism cumbersome, we shall instead use the Eulerian description. However, the Lagrangian concepts of material volumes, material surfaces, and material lines which consist of the same fluid particles and move with them are still useful in developing the Eulerian description.

1.3 Volume Forces and Surface Forces

One may think of two distinct kinds of forces acting on a fluid continuum. Long-range forces such as gravity penetrate into the interior of the fluid, and act on all elements of the fluid. If such a force varies smoothly in space, then it acts equally on all the matter within a fluid particle of density ρ and volume δV. The total force acting on the particle is proportional to its mass and is equal to . In this sense, long-range forces are called body forces.

The short-range forces (which have a molecular origin) between two fluid elements, on the other hand, are effective only if they interact through direct mechanical contact. Since the short-range forces on an element are determined by its surface area, one considers a plane surface element of area δA in the fluid. The local short-range force is then specified as the total force exerted on the fluid on one side of δA by the fluid on the other side and is equal to (Cauchy, 1827). The direction of this force is not known a priori for a viscous fluid (unlike in the case of an inviscid fluid). Here, is the unit normal to the surface element δA, and it points away from the fluid on which Σ acts. The total force exerted across δA on the fluid on the side into which points, by Newton’s third law of motion, is , so that Σ is an odd function of . In this sense, short-range forces are called surface forces.

In order to determine the dependence of Σ on , consider all the forces acting instantaneously on the fluid within an element of volume δV shaped like a tetrahedron (Figure 1.2). The three orthogonal faces have areas and unit outward normals , and the fourth inclined face has area δA and unit outward normal . Surface forces will act on the fluid in the tetrahedron, across each of the four faces, and their resultant is

Figure 1.2 Tetrahedron-shaped fluid element.

or

Now, since the body force and inertia force acting on the fluid within the tetrahedron are proportional to the volume δV, they become negligible compared to the surface forces if the linear dimensions of the tetrahedron are made to approach zero without changing its shape. Then, applying Newton’s second law of motion to this fluid element gives

(5)

where

(6)

which is a second-order tensor called the stress tensor and prescribes the state of stress at a point in the fluid. Thus, the resultant of stress (force per unit area) across an arbitrarily oriented plane surface element with a unit normal is related to the resultant of stress across any three orthogonal plane surface elements at the same position in the fluid as if it were a vector with orthogonal components . Note that , Σ, and τ do not depend at all on the choice of the reference axes.

This leads to the following theorem.

Theorem 1.3 (Cauchy)  There exists a matrix function τ, such that

where τij is the i-component of the stress exerted across a plane surface element normal to the j-direction. Thus, the state of stress at a point is characterized by normal stresses and shear stresses acting on three mutually perpendicular planes passing through the point, i.e., by nine cartesian components.

2 Equations of Fluid Flows

The laws governing the motion of fluids are

the law of conservation of mass;

Newton’s laws of motion;

the First Law of thermodynamics.

These laws typically refer to a system, i.e., a collection of matter of fixed identity.

In order to derive the equations governing the motion of fluids embodying these laws, one may consider a material volume W consisting of the same fluid particles, and hence, moving with the fluid (the Lagrangian description). The space coordinates defining W will then be functions of time since they depend on the changing locations of the fluid particles as time progresses. A typical macroscopic property is then represented by a material integral (one that always refers to the same fluid particles),

(1)

where a property q has been associated with a fluid particle of fixed identity and mass .

Alternatively, one may consider a fixed region of space called the control volume through which the fluid flows so that different fluid particles occupy this region at different times (the Eulerian description). A typical macroscopic property Q is represented here by an integral over the control volume fixed in space,

(2)

where is a scalar field (for example, density or a velocity component) associated with the fluid.

Thus, the rate of change of , namely, associated with the material system instantaneously occupying the control volume receives contributions from the changes of q with time in W and the flux of q out of W.
