Overview

Fluid flow is a fundamental concept in physics that describes how liquids and gases move. It is essential to understand the properties of fluids, such as viscosity and density, as they influence how fluids behave in different situations. The study of fluid flow encompasses various types, including l...

Key Terms

Fluid
A substance that can flow and take the shape of its container.

Example: Water and air are both fluids.

Laminar Flow
A smooth, orderly flow of fluid in parallel layers.

Example: Honey flowing slowly is an example of laminar flow.

Turbulent Flow
A chaotic, irregular flow of fluid with mixing.

Example: Water flowing rapidly over rocks in a river is turbulent flow.

Viscosity
A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.

Example: Oil has a higher viscosity than water.

Reynolds Number
A dimensionless number used to predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations.

Example: A Reynolds number below 2000 indicates laminar flow.

Bernoulli's Principle
An increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure.

Example: Airplane wings generate lift due to Bernoulli's principle.
