The document discusses dimensional analysis and modeling. It covers:
1) The seven primary dimensions used in physics - mass, length, time, temperature, current, amount of light, and amount of matter. All other dimensions can be formed from combinations of these.
2) Dimensional homogeneity, which requires that every term in an equation must have the same dimensions.
3) Nondimensionalization, which involves dividing terms by variables and constants to render the equation dimensionless. This produces dimensionless parameters like the Reynolds and Froude numbers.
4) Similarity between models and prototypes in experiments, which requires geometric, kinematic, and dynamic similarity achieved by matching dimensionless groups.
Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids and forces on them. The history dates back to Ancient Greeks like Archimedes who developed the law of buoyancy. Islamic physicists in the 11th century were the first to apply experimental methods to fluid statics. In the 17th century, Blaise Pascal and Isaac Newton made important contributions and established hydrostatics as a science. Leonhard Euler applied calculus to fluid motion equations. In the 19th century, Hermann von Helmholtz established laws of vortex motion. Real-life applications include Bernoulli's principle in aerodynamics and hydraulics.

This document describes a numerical study of flow and energy dissipation in stepped spillways using the FLUENT software. Two stepped spillway models with 5 and 10 steps were analyzed for different flow rates. The k-ε turbulence model and volume of fluid method were used to model turbulence and free surface flow. Numerical results for flow patterns, velocities, and energy dissipation were compared to experimental data from other studies, showing good agreement with errors less than 2%. The results indicate that increasing the flow rate or number of steps reduces energy dissipation, while decreasing step height or length also reduces dissipation.

Fluid Friction Loss
Introduction
In this experiment you will investigate the relationship between head loss due to fluid friction and
velocity for flow of water through both smooth and rough pipes. To do this you will:
1) Express the mathematical relationship between head loss and flow velocity
2) Compare measured and calculated head losses
3) Estimate unknown pipe roughness
Background
When a fluid is flowing through a pipe, it experiences some resistance due to shear stresses, which
converts some of its energy into unwanted heat. Energy loss through friction is referred to as “head
loss due to friction” and is a function of the; pipe length, pipe diameter, mean flow velocity,
properties of the fluid and roughness of the pipe (the later only being a factor for turbulent flows),
but is independent of pressure under with which the water flows. Mathematically, for a turbulent
flow, this can be expressed as:
hL=f
L
D
V
2
2 g
(Eq.1)
where
hL = Head loss due to friction (m)
f = Friction factor
L = Length of pipe (m)
V = Average flow velocity (m/s)
g = Gravitational acceleration (m/s^2)
Friction head losses in straight pipes of different sizes can be investigated over a wide range of
Reynolds' numbers to cover the laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow regimes in smooth pipes. A
further test pipe is artificially roughened and, at the higher Reynolds' numbers, shows a clear
departure from typical smooth bore pipe characteristics.
Experiment 4: Fluid Friction Loss
The head loss and flow velocity can also be expressed as:
1) hL∝V −whe n flow islaminar
2) hL∝V
n
−whe n flow isturbulent
where hL is the head loss due to friction and V is the fluid velocity. These two types of flow are
seperated by a trasition phase where no definite relationship between hL and V exist. Graphs
of hL −V and log (hL) − log (V ) are shown in Figure 1,
Figure 1. Relationship between hL ( expressed by h) and V ( expressed by u ) ;
as well as log (hL) and log ( V )
Experiment 4: Fluid Friction Loss
Experimental Apparatus
In Figure 2, the fluid friction apparatus is shown on the right while the Hydraulic bench that
supplies the water to the fluid friction apparatus is shown on the left. The flow rate that the
hydraulic bench provides can be measured by measuring the time required to collect a known
volume.

Experimental Procedure

from the fluid friction apparatus.
2) Open and close the appropriate valves to obtain water flow through the required test pipe, the four
lowest pipes of the fluid friction apparatus will be used for this experiment. From the bottom to the
top, these are; the rough pipe with large diameter and then smooth pipes with three successively
smaller diameters.
3) Measure head loss ...

Asme2009 82287 - Porous Media - Forced Convection FlowHIIO
In this study the flow field and heat transfer properties of a
steady, two-dimensional flow field in a porous domain between
two parallel plates is investigated numerically by using a
discretized numeric code. Analysis has been carried for
Reynolds number based on particle sizes ranging from 60 to
1000. Numerical results are compared with different numerical
methods used for predicting this kind of flow. Results are
obtained for different regime, various p Re numbers and the
effect of Particles size is also investigated. Solutions indicate
that by increasing the
p Re , the flow in the porous media
remains laminar where the flow has turbulence characteristics
for p Re <50. Moreover, by increasing p Re , the value of
average Nusselt number increases. Also, reducing the particle
size affects the Nusselt number and it increases while the
porosity remains the same.

Effect of Turbulence Model in Numerical Simulation of Single Round Jet at Low...ijceronline
Single axi-symmetric round jet flow was analyzed using computational techniques and validated with experimental results to establish the suitable turbulence model for simulation of low Reynolds number jets exiting from fully developed pipe. This work is performed as an initial study before computationally simulating multiple impinging jets. To this end a single round jet at Reynolds number of 7500 exiting from a fully developed pipe and entering into stationary air was modeled. Velocity and turbulence profiles were extracted from the simulation and validated with in-house experimental results. It was observed that although all the four turbulence models studied were able to closely predict the mean velocity field, they were not able to accurately predict the turbulence intensity distributions. From the models studied, it was concluded that SST k- ω model was the best turbulence model for simulating low Reynolds number jet flow exiting from fully developed pipe.

This article presents 10 regression models to estimate costs of different components for pipeline compressor stations with varying capacities in different US regions. The models show large cost differences between regions, with the Western region having the highest costs. The models also indicate that all compressor station cost components have economies of scale, with unit costs decreasing as capacity increases. Limitations of the models include uneven data distribution and missing variables.

This document summarizes a numerical investigation of a jet pump with twisted tapes. A 3D numerical model was developed using ANSYS Fluent to simulate flow through a jet pump with variations in nozzle profile and the addition of single or double twisted tapes in the primary nozzle. Results showed that a double twisted tape increased jet pump efficiency the most, by around 10%, compared to a nozzle without tape. Higher velocities, turbulent kinetic energy, and vorticity were observed with twisted tapes, enhancing entrainment of the secondary flow and improving performance.
This document summarizes a numerical study on free-surface flow conducted using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. The study examines the wave profile generated by a submerged hydrofoil through several test cases varying parameters like the turbulence model, grid resolution, and hydrofoil depth. The document provides background on the governing equations solved by the CFD solver and the interface capturing technique used to model the free surface. Five test cases are described that investigate grid convergence, the impact of laminar vs turbulent models, the relationship between hydrofoil depth and wave height, and the effect of discretization schemes.
This document discusses dimensional analysis and its applications in fluid mechanics. Dimensional analysis uses dimensions and units to develop dimensionless parameters called Pi terms that relate variables in a system. The Buckingham Pi theorem states that any equation with k variables can be written in terms of k-r independent Pi terms, where r is the minimum number of fundamental dimensions needed to describe the variables. Examples show how to identify the relevant Pi terms for problems and how these terms allow experimental data with different scales to be correlated through a single relationship. Dimensional analysis and similitude are useful for modeling prototypes from scaled down models when the key dimensionless groups match between the two.

This document provides an overview of fluid mechanics concepts related to flow in pipes over 3 weeks. It discusses laminar and turbulent flow, identifies the types of flow using the Reynolds number, and explains major and minor losses for flow in pipes. The key points are:
- There are two types of flow - internal (in pipes) and external (over bodies). Internal flow examples include water pipes, blood flow, and HVAC systems.
- Flow can be laminar, turbulent, or in transition as determined by the Reynolds number. The continuity, Bernoulli, and momentum equations govern pipe flow.
- Major losses are pressure/head losses due solely to pipe friction. They can be calculated using the Darcy-
1. The document discusses key concepts in fluid mechanics including conservation of mass, momentum, and energy as applied to control volumes.
2. These conservation principles are expressed mathematically through equations that equate the rate of change within the control volume to the net rate of transfer into and out of the control volume.
3. Specific examples are given for the conservation of mass including the continuity equation and steady, incompressible flow cases where the equations can be simplified.
This document discusses key concepts in fluid kinematics including:
1) The four fundamental types of motion or deformation a fluid element can undergo: translation, rotation, linear strain, and shear strain.
2) Vorticity, which is related to a fluid's rate of rotation, and defines whether a flow is rotational or irrotational.
3) The continuity equation, derived from the conservation of mass principle for a control volume of fluid, which relates the fluid density and velocity components.
4) Concepts like volumetric strain rate, average velocity, volume flow rate, and mass flow rate and how the principle of conservation of mass applies to steady fluid flows.
This document provides an overview of fluid kinematics concepts. It describes fluid flow using Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions, and defines steady and unsteady, uniform and non-uniform flow. Streamlines, pathlines and streaklines are differentiated. Streamlines indicate instantaneous velocity direction, and streamtubes are bundles of streamlines. One, two and three dimensional flows are described. The material derivative, which follows a fluid particle as it moves, is introduced along with its relationship to particle acceleration. Key concepts are illustrated with diagrams.
This document provides an overview of buoyancy and stability of floating bodies. It defines key concepts such as buoyant force, Archimedes' principle, and stability. The main points are:
- Buoyant force is the upward force a fluid exerts on a body immersed in it, caused by increased pressure with depth. By Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.
- For a body to float, its weight must equal the buoyant force (weight of displaced fluid). A body will sink, float, or remain at rest depending on its average density compared to the fluid.
- Stability depends on the alignment of the center
Forces acting on submerged surfaces include hydrostatic forces. Hydrostatic forces form a pressure prism on plane surfaces with a base equal to the surface area and a length equal to the varying pressure. The hydrostatic force passes through the centroid of this pressure prism. For curved surfaces like circles, the hydrostatic force always passes through the center. Hydrostatic forces can be determined on multilayered fluids by considering each fluid-surface interface separately. Examples are given for forces on submerged rectangular and circular plates.
This document discusses pressure measurement and manometers. It begins by defining pressure and discussing absolute and gauge pressure. It then describes various pressure measurement devices like barometers, manometers, and pressure transducers. Manometers use fluid columns of different densities to measure pressure differences. U-tube, inverted U-tube, and multi-tube manometers are described. Pascal's law states that pressure increases uniformly in an incompressible fluid, and is used in hydraulic systems. Deadweight testers can precisely measure extremely high pressures.
The document provides an introduction to fluid mechanics, including key concepts, applications, dimensions and units, and properties of fluids. It defines fluids, fluid statics and dynamics, stress, density, viscosity, and introduces various units of measurement. Viscosity is further explained, noting it represents resistance to flow and is measured using devices like concentric cylinder viscometers. Applications include areas like artificial hearts. Dimensional analysis helps characterize physical quantities.
The podcast discusses human commodity between a teacher and her students, where they define human commodity as illegal trade of humans for forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation. The students explain the causes of human trafficking as lack of employment, poor law enforcement, and increased demand for labor. The effects discussed include physical and mental harm to victims as well as spread of diseases.
1. Grinding is a finishing operation that involves slowly wearing away material using an abrasive that is harder than the material being ground. Heat generated during grinding can damage the grinding wheel.
2. There are several types of grinding machines including surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and universal tool and cutter grinders. Surface grinding is commonly used to grind flat surfaces while cylindrical grinding is used to grind external and internal diameters.
3. Grinding wheels come in different materials, shapes, grains, bonds, grades, and structures suited for different grinding applications and material removal needs. Proper wheel selection is important for achieving the desired surface finish.
The document discusses various tools used for measurement and marking out in fitting practice, including steel rulers, vernier calipers, micrometers, dial caliper gauges, and limit gauges. It explains how to use each tool, read measurements, and check for dimensions being within specified limits.
The document provides instructions for changing a cutting tool in a milling machine. It describes loosening the draw bar to remove the old tool, inserting a new tool into the collet, and tightening the draw bar to secure the new tool. The steps are to hold the spindle, loosen the draw bar slightly with a spanner, remove the draw bar further by tapping with a hammer to release the collet, remove the old tool, insert the new tool and collet into the spindle, and retighten the draw bar.
The document discusses milling processes and provides details about various milling techniques. It defines milling, describes up and down milling methods, and covers topics such as milling machines, cutters, operations, and factors that influence tool life. Examples of peripheral and face milling are illustrated.
The document provides instructions for milling a rectangular block using a milling machine. It describes how to:
1) Secure the rectangular block in the milling machine vice using parallels and a round bar to ensure the opposite faces are parallel.
2) Mill the first surface of the block by rotating it and setting it up in the vice in the same manner.
3) Repeat this process of rotating and securing the block to mill each subsequent surface, ensuring each new surface is perpendicular to the previous, until all six surfaces of the rectangular block are milled flat and at right angles to each other.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

2. DIMENSIONS AND UNITS
Dimension: A measure of a physical quantity (without numerical
values).
Unit: A way to assign a number to that dimension.
There are seven primary dimensions :
1. Mass m (kg)
2. Length L (m)
3. Time t (sec)
4. Temperature T (K)
5. Current I (A)
6. Amount of Light C (cd)
7. Amount of matter N (mol)
All non-primary dimensions can be formed by some combination
of the seven primary dimensions.
{Velocity} = {Length/Time} = {L/t}
{Force} = {Mass Length/Time} = {mL/t2}

6. Nondimensionalization of Equations
Nondimensional equation: If we divide each term in the equation
by a collection of variables and constants whose product has those
same dimensions, the equation is rendered nondimensional.
Most of which are named after a notable scientist or engineer (e.g.,
the Reynolds number and the Froude number).
A nondimensionalized form of the
Bernoulli equation is formed by
dividing each additive term by a
pressure (here we use P∞). Each
resulting term is dimensionless
(dimensions of {1}).
6
7. In a general unsteady fluid flow problem with a free surface, the scaling
parameters include a characteristic length L, a characteristic velocity V, a
characteristic frequency f, and a reference pressure difference P0 − P∞.
Nondimensionalization of the differential equations of fluid flow produces
four dimensionless parameters: the Reynolds number, Froude number, 7
Strouhal number, and Euler number.
8. In Fluid Mechanics,
•the Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless number that gives a
measure of the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces.
•The Froude number (Fr) is a dimensionless number defined as the
ratio of a body's inertia to gravitational forces. In fluid mechanics, the
Froude number is used to determine the resistance of a partially
submerged object moving through water, and permits the comparison
of objects of different sizes.
•The Strouhal number (St) is a dimensionless number describing
oscillating flow mechanisms.
•The Euler number (Eu) is a dimensionless number used in fluid flow
calculations. It expresses the relationship between a local pressure
drop over a restriction and the kinetic energy per volume, and is used
to characterize losses in the flow, where a perfect frictionless flow
corresponds to an Euler number of 1.

9. DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS AND SIMILARITY
In most experiments, to save time and money, tests are
performed on a geometrically scaled model, not on the
full-scale prototype.
In such cases, care must be taken to properly scale the
results. Thus, powerful technique called dimensional
analysis is needed.
The three primary purposes of dimensional analysis are
• To generate non-dimensional parameters that help in the design
of experiments and in the reporting of experimental results
• To obtain scaling laws so that prototype performance can be
predicted from model performance
• To predict trends in the relationship between parameters
9
10. DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS AND SIMILARITY
Greek letter Pi (Π) denote a non-dimensional parameter.
In a general dimensional analysis problem, there is one Π that we
call the dependent Π, giving it the notation Π1.
The parameter Π1 is in general a function of several other Π’s, which
we call independent Π’s.
10
11. DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS AND SIMILARITY
The principle of similarity
Three necessary conditions for complete similarity between a model and a
prototype.
(1) Geometric similarity—the model must be the same shape as the
prototype, but may be scaled by some constant scale factor.
(2) Kinematic similarity—the velocity at any point in the model flow must be
proportional (by a constant scale factor) to the velocity at the corresponding
point in the prototype flow.
(3) dynamic similarity—When all forces in the model flow scale by a constant
factor to corresponding forces in the prototype flow (force-scale
equivalence).
To achieve similarity
11
12. To ensure complete similarity, the model and prototype must be
geometrically similar, and all independent groups must match between
model and prototype.
Kinematic similarity is
achieved when, at all
locations, the speed in the
model flow is proportional to
that at corresponding
locations in the prototype
flow, and points in the same
direction.
In a general flow field, complete similarity between a model and
prototype is achieved only when there is geometric, kinematic, and
dynamic similarity. 12

14. Geometric similarity between a
prototype car of length Lp and a model
car of length Lm. In the case of
aerodynamic drag on the automobile,
there are only two Π’s in the problem.
FD is the magnitude of the aerodynamic drag on the car, and so on forming
drag coefficient equation.
The Reynolds number is the most well known and useful dimensionless 14
parameter in all of fluid mechanics.
15. A drag balance is a device used
in a wind tunnel to measure the
aerodynamic drag of a body.
When testing automobile models,
a moving belt is often added to
the floor of the wind tunnel to
simulate the moving ground (from
the car’s frame of reference). 15
17. If a water tunnel is used instead of a wind tunnel to test their one-fifth
scale model, the water tunnel speed required to achieve similarity is
One advantage of a water tunnel
is that the required water tunnel
speed is much lower than that
required for a wind tunnel using
the same size model (221 mi/h
for air and 16.1 mi/h for water) .
Similarity can be achieved
even when the model fluid
is different than the
prototype fluid. Here a
submarine model is tested

There are several method but the
most popular was introduced by
Edgar Buckingham called the
method of repeating variables.

2. Do not choose variables that can form dimensionless group
3. If there are three primary dimension available , must choose repeating
variables which include all three primary dimensions.
4. Don’t pick dimensionless variables. For example, radian or degree.
5. Never pick two variables with same dimensions or dimensions that differ
by only an exponent. For example, w0 and g.
6. Pick common variables such as length, velocity, mass or density. Don’t
pick less common like viscosity or surface tension.
7. Always pick simple variables instead of complex variables such as
energy or pressure.

the six steps that

37. Although the Darcy friction
factor for pipe flows is most
common, you should be
aware of an alternative, less
common friction factor called
the Fanning friction factor.
The relationship between the
two is f = 4Cf . 37
39. DIMENSIONLESS PARAMETER
In dimensional analysis, a dimensionless quantity or quantity
of dimension one is a quantity without an associated
physical dimension.
It is thus a "pure" number, and as such always has a
dimension of 1.
Other examples of dimensionless quantities:
- Weber number (We),
- Mach (M),
- Darcy friction factor (Cf or f),
- Drag coefficient (Cd) etc.
39
40. RAYLEIGH METHOD
Rayleigh's method of dimensional analysis is a conceptual
tool used in physics, chemistry, and engineering.
This form of dimensional analysis expresses a functional
relationship of some variables in the form of an
exponential equation.
It was named after Lord Rayleigh.
40
41. The method involves the following steps:
•Gather all the independent variables that are likely to influence the
dependent variable.
•If X is a variable that depends upon independent variables
X1, X2, X3, ..., Xn, then the functional equation can be written as X
= F(X1, X2, X3, ..., Xn).
•Write the above equation in the form where C is a dimensionless
constant and a, b, c, ..., m are arbitrary exponents.
•Express each of the quantities in the equation in some fundamental
units in which the solution is required.
•By using dimensional homogeneity, obtain a set of simultaneous
equations involving the exponents a, b, c, ..., m.
•Solve these equations to obtain the value of exponents a, b, c, ..., m.
•Substitute the values of exponents in the main equation, and form the
non-dimensional parameters by grouping the variables with like
exponents. 41
Editor's Notes
In fluid mechanics , the Reynolds number ( Re ) is a dimensionless number that gives a measure of the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces and consequently quantifies the relative importance of these two types of forces for given flow conditions. The Froude number is a dimensionless number defined as the ratio of a characteristic velocity to a gravitational wave velocity. It may equivalently be defined as the ratio of a body's inertia to gravitational forces. In fluid mechanics, the Froude number is used to determine the resistance of a partially submerged object moving through water, and permits the comparison of objects of different sizes. Named after William Froude, the Froude number is based on the speed–length ratio as defined by him. In dimensional analysis, the Strouhal number is a dimensionless number describing oscillating flow mechanisms. The parameter is named after Vincenc Strouhal, a Czech physicist who experimented in 1878 with wires experiencing vortex shedding and singing in the wind. The Euler number is a dimensionless number used in fluid flow calculations. It expresses the relationship between a local pressure drop e.g. over a restriction and the kinetic energy per volume, and is used to characterize losses in the flow, where a perfect frictionless flow corresponds to an Euler number of 1.
