Fluid Statics Problems Fluid statics refers to the study of fluids at rest or moving in such a manner that no shearing stresses exist in the fluid These are relatively simple problems since no velocity gradients exist. Thus, viscosity does not play a role Applications include the hydraulic pressure, manometry, dams, and fluid containment (tanks) 2 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
Pressure (P) is the force per unit area, where the force is perpendicular to the area F (N) P (N/m 2 or Pa) = A (m2 ) Pressure 1 kn/m 2 = 1 kpa 1 kpa = 0.145 psi Pressure in a fluid acts equally in all directions Pressure in a static liquid increases linearly with depth pressure increase p= γ h increase in depth (m) 3 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
Pressure at a Point Pressure is a scalar quantity that is defined at every point within a fluid Force balance in the x-direction: 4 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
Pressure at a Point Force balance in the z-direction: Vertical force on DA Vertical force on lower boundary Total weight of wedge element = specific weight 5 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
From last slide: Pressure at a Point Divide through by to get Now shrink the element to a point: This can be done for any orientation, so 6 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
Pressure at a Point The result shows that pressure at any point in a fluid at rest has a single value, independent of direction as long as there are no shearing stresses (or velocity gradients) present in the fluid For fluids in motion with shearing stresses, this result is not exactly true, but is still a very good approximation for most flows 7 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics

Pressure Variation with Elevation The pressure-elevation relation derived on the previous slide, is perfectly general (applies also to variable g) But if g is constant, the above equation is easy to integrate: The quantity and is known as the piezometric pressure is called the piezometric head 11 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
Pressure Variation with Elevation For an incompressible fluid (g is constant), pressure and elevation at one point can thus be related to pressure and elevation at another point as: p p 1 2 z 1 z2 or z 2 or z 1 h p 1 Constant p p p p z z ) 1 2 2 ( 2 1 h 12 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics

Pressure Forces on Curved Surfaces Resultant pressure forces on curved surfaces are more difficult to deal with because the incremental pressure forces, which are normal to the surface, vary continually in direction There are two ways to approach the problem. One is to use direct integration and the second method is to utilize the basic mechanics concepts of a free body and the equilibrium equations Fig. 2.11 53 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics

Buoyancy and the Stability of Floating Bodies The familiar laws of bouncy (Archamedes principle) and flotation are usually stated (1) a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of fluid displaced; and (2) a floating body displaces its own weight of the liquid in which it floats 69 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
Buoyancy and the Stability of Floating Bodies The resultant buoyant force on a submerged or partially submerged object in a static fluid is given by Archimedes principle as: F B ( volumeof submerged object) or F B ( volumeof liquid displaced) The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object and is in a direction opposite the gravitational force 70 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
Buoyancy and the Stability of Floating Bodies The line of action of the buoyant force passes through the centroid of the displaced volume, often called the center of buoyancy (COB) The stability of submerged objects (balloon and sub-marine) is determined by the center of gravity (G): Stable: G is below COB Unstable: G is above COB 71 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
Buoyancy and the Stability of Floating Bodies For floating objects, stability is complicated by the fact that the COB changes with rotation The stability of floating objects (Ship) is determined by the metacentric (M) (the point of intersection of the vertical line through B with the centerline of the ship): Stable: G is below M Unstable: G is above M 72 Fluid Mechanics-2nd Semester 2010- [2] Fluid Statics
