1 Basic Fluid Mechanics Chapter 6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow Introduction For the present chapter we will limit our study to incompressible flows. (i.e., M=0.3 which for air at standard conditions corresponds to a speed of approximately 100m/s). Internal flows can be classified as either laminar, transitional or turbulent. The particular flow regime is primarily dependent on the Reynolds number, surface roughness, and level of initial disturbances present within the flow. The Reynolds number is defined as; ρ μ 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow 2 1

Note: Turbulent flows have random fluctuating velocities which result a in violent mixing action.

2 6.1 Introduction Under normal conditions transition from a laminar to turbulent flow occurs at a critical Re ~ 2,000 in a circular tube or pipe. However, minimizing the disturbances within the flow has, for a smooth circular tube, remained laminar up to Re ~ 100,000. Note: Turbulent flows have random fluctuating velocities which result a in violent mixing action. 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow Introduction Recall for a laminar flow the shear stress is: τ = μ du/dy Shear stress in turbulent flow is written as: 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow 4 2

4 6.1 Introduction Note: To account for any non-uniformity in the velocity profile a kinetic energy coefficient, is defined; where represents the average cross sectional velocity. For fully developed laminar flows the velocity profile is parabolic and the kinetic energy coefficient = 2. However, for most internal turbulent flows the velocity profile is much more uniform and 1.05, so for convenience unity is typically used. 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow Fully Developed Laminar Flow Consider a steady laminar flow of a viscous fluid inside a circular tube. 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow 8 4

6.2.1 Fully Developed Laminar Flow Let the fluid enter the tube with a uniform velocity. As the fluid moves along the tube a shear layer forms.

As the viscous fluid moves down the tube a shear layer on the tube wall continues to grow and meet at the tube centerline.

5 6.2.1 Fully Developed Laminar Flow Let the fluid enter the tube with a uniform velocity. As the fluid moves along the tube a shear layer forms. This layer of low speed fluid grows on the tube wall as a result of viscous effects, i.e., the no-slip condition. As the viscous fluid moves down the tube a shear layer on the tube wall continues to grow and meet at the tube centerline. 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow Fully Developed Laminar Flow Pipe Entrance v At this location the velocity profile becomes developed (i.e., self-similar) and no longer changes with downstream distance. In this self-similar state the velocity profile is said to be Fully Developed. The distance between the tube inlet and location where the velocity profile becomes invariant (i.e., fully developed), is referred to as the hydrodynamic entrance length, L e. In many engineering applications the flow is turbulent and the Re is between 10 4 and 10 5, typically producing an Le/D ~ 25. 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow 10 v v 5

6 6.2.2 Analysis of Flow in a Circular Tube Use of the fully developed flow (FDF) assumption implies that the hydrodynamic state of the fluid remains constant along the length of the tube and that the radial velocity, v r = 0 and / x = 0. For a time independent (i.e., steady) axisymmetric flow in a circular tube the reduced form of the x-momentum eq (in cylindrical coordinates) follows: So if the flow is assumed to be FDF, and since p was shown to vary linearly with x, implying p/ x, we obtain; (6.1) (6.2) 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow a Determine the Velocity Profile Integrate Eq 6.2 w.r.t. r and apply the following boundary conditions; So; Applying boundary condition b one obtains (6.3) 4/16/2018 C6A: Internal Incompressible Viscous Flow 12 6
