2 Archimedes( B.C.) observed floating objects on water and reasoned out the principle of bouncy. Da Vinci( ) built the first chamber canal lock. Castelli( ) stated the continuity principle for the river flow. Torricelli( ) perfected the barometer. Pascal( ) discover the scalar nature of pressure Newton( ) developed the resistance law. Bernoulli( )developed developed energy equation for inviscid fluids

3 Physical science dealing with the action of fluids at rest (fluid statics) or in motion (fluid dynamics), and their interaction with flow devices and applications in engineering. The subject branches out into sub-disciplines such as: Aeronautics/Astronautics: Aircraft and missile aerodynamics, control hydraulics, gas-bearing gyros, propeller, turbojet and rocket, satellites and cooling system. Civil engineering: Pipe and channel flows, surface and ground water hydrology, wind and water structure loads, lake and harbor tides, coastline flows, sediment transport, river flooding and meandering and water and water-water treatment. Physics: Magneto hydrodynamics, fusion devices, cryogenics and superconductivity. Astrophysics: Star and galaxy formation, and evolution, interstellar gas dynamics, solar wind and comet tails.

4 Mathematics: Solution of differential equations, boundary conditions, nonlinear differential equations, dynamic analogies and computational fluid dynamics. Mechanical/ Nuclear engineering: Pumps and compressor, impulse and reaction turbines, bearing lubrication, heat exchangers, process control, fluid controls, cooling system, electrochemical devices, Two-Phase flows and heating ventilation and air conditioning.

7 The mass of a fluid in a control volume remains conserved. This fact leads to establish a relation between the fluid density and fluid velocity at any point. Mathematical form of this relation is called equation of continuity Dρ ρ + ρdiv( V ) = 0 or + div( ρv ) = 0 Dt t ρ If the density ( ) is constant (incompressible flow), Eq. (1) reduce to the simple equation: (1) divv = 0 (2)

8 The well known Navier-Stokes equations (momentum Equation) for unsteady, incompressible viscous fluid in rectangular coordinate system are given by + u + v = + ν + t x y ρ x x y 2 2 u u u 1 p u u u + v = + ν + t x y ρ x x y 2 2 v v v 1 p v v D Dt 2 2 where is the material time derivative, ρ is the density, p is pressure, µ is the viscosity of fluid, g is acceleration due to gravity and v is the velocity vector. (3) (4)

9 ( uvw,, )andt If are velocity components and the temperature of the fluid respectively, then the energy equation is given by: Φ DT Dt 2 = α + Φ where is the dissipation function and is thermal diffusivity of the fluid. Φ = τ μ δ λ λ μ u u ' = ( i + i) + div v where 3 +2 =0 ij ij x x (7) j j τ T ' ij u x α i j (5) (6)

11 Diagram of a simple filtration Filtration process in kidneys

12 Cross-flow Microfiltration (MF) is a low pressure process for separation of larger size solutes from aqueous solutions using a semi-permeable membrane. This process is carried out by having a process solution flow along a membrane surface under pressure. Particulate matter circulates through the membrane tube, cleaning the membrane tube surface while filtrate flows through the membrane

13 The channel has a width in the y-direction of h, a length in the z-direction of l, and a length in the x-direction, the direction of flow. There is a pressure drop along the length of the channel, so that the pressure gradient is constant From the continuity equation we have u= u( y) And the momentum equation takes the following form 2 1 dp d u 0 = + ν, 2 ρ dx dy u = at y = and y = h The boundary conditions are: 0 0 (9)

14 y-axis a Porous wall y=a Geometry x-axis Porous wall y=-a A channel of rectangular cross section, one side of the cross section, representing the distance between the porous walls, is taken to be much smaller than the other. Both channel walls are taken to have equal permeability. Furthermore he considered steady state, incompressible, laminar, no external forces on the fluid and the suction/injection velocity is independent of position.

15 Under the above assumptions the continuity and momentum equations reduce to the following form u x v + = y 0, u x y ρ x x y 2 2 u u 1 p u u + v = + ν u x y ρ y x y The appropriate boundary conditions are 2 2 v v 1 p v v + v = + ν + 2 2,, (10) (11) (12) uxy (, ) = 0, vxy (, ) = vw at y=± a, (13) u = 0, v = 0 at y = 0, y (14) u=0 at x=0. (15)

16 Let us consider the two-dimensional, unsteady, incompressible viscous fluid in an elongated rectangular channel bounded by two porous walls. The mass and momentum equations give u x v + =0, y t x y ρ x x y 2 2 u u u 1 p u u + u + v = + ν v v v 1 p v v + u + v = + ν +, 2 2 t x y ρ y x y The appropriate boundary conditions are, (16) (17) (18) u=0, v=-v w at y=a(t), (19)

17 u = 0, v = 0 at y = 0, y u = 0 at x = 0. (20) y-axis Porous wall a(t) X-axis Porous wall y=a(t) y=a(t) Geometry of the bulk fluid motion

18 The governing equations are u x v + =0, y 2 2 u u u 1 p u u νεu + u + v = + ν t x y ρ x x y k 2 2 v v v 1 p v v νεv + u + v = + ν t x y ρ y x y k Where ɛ is the porosity and k is the permeability. The appropriate boundary conditions are u=0, v=-v at y=a(t), w u = 0, v = 0 at y = 0, y,, (21) (22) (23) (24)
