Description: Demonstrates how to use the Blasius solution to solve for different parameters in boundary layer flow.
Description: Shows how the simplified Navier-Stokes equation for two-dimensional laminar flow can be transformed to a solution that can be solved using numerical analysis.
Description: Describes how the coefficient of drag is correlated to the Reynolds number and how these dimensionless parameters were found.
Description: Detailed definition of ‘fluid’ and describes how to characterize fluids.
Description: A differential element of a static fluid is analyzed and the relationship between pressure and height is determined.
Description: Newton’s second law in a differential form is used to determine the basic equation for a pressure field.
Description: Integrate the equation of motion in the z-direction and use boundary conditions to find the velocity distribution.
Description: Determines the force from a brace acting on a rotating gate that levels a water reservoir on the other side.
Description:
