Note to Instructors
These slides were developed1, during the spring semester 2005, as a teaching aid for the undergraduate Fluid Mechanics course (ME33: Fluid Flow) in the Department of M h i l and Mechanical dN Nuclear l E Engineering i i at tP Penn St State t U University. i it Thi This course h had dt two sections, one taught by myself and one taught by Prof. John Cimbala. While we gave common homework and exams, we independently developed lecture notes. This was also the first semester that Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications was used at PSU. My section had 93 students and was held in a classroom with a computer, projector, and blackboard. While slides have been developed for each chapter of Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, Applications I used a combination of blackboard and electronic presentation. In the student evaluations of my course, there were both positive and negative comments on the use of electronic presentation. Therefore, these slides y be integrated g into y your lectures with careful consideration of y your teaching g should only style and course objectives.

slides were originally prepared using the LaTeX typesetting system (http://www.tug.org/) and the beamer class (http://latex-beamer (http://latex beamer.sourceforge.net/), sourceforge net/) but were translated to PowerPoint for wider dissemination by McGraw-Hill.

Dimensional Homogeneity
Law of dimensional homogeneity (DH): every additive term in an equation must have the same dimensions Example: Bernoulli equation
{p} = {force/area}={mass x length/time x 1/length2} = {m/(t2L)} {1/2V2} = {mass/length3 x (length/time)2} = {m/(t2L)} {gz} = {mass/length3 x length/time2 x length} ={m/(t2L)}
Nondimensionalization of Equations
Given the law of DH, if we divide each term in the equation by a collection of variables and constants that have the same dimensions, the equation is rendered d d nondimensional di i l In the p process of nondimensionalizing g an equation, nondimensional parameters often appear appear, e e.g., g Reynolds number and Froude number
ME33 : Fluid Flow 7 Chapter 7: Dimensional Analysis and Modeling
Nondimensionalization of Equations
To nondimensionalize, for example, p the Bernoulli equation, the first step is to list primary dimensions of all dimensional variables and constants t t
{V} = {L/t}
Next, we need N d to select l S li P Scaling Parameters. For F this hi example, select L, U0, 0

Nondimensionalization of Equations
By y inspection, p nondimensionalize all variables with scaling parameters
Nondimensionalization of Equations
Divide by y 0U02 and set * = 1 ( (incompressible p flow)

Nondimensionalization of Equations
Note that convention often dictates many of the nondimensional parameters, e.g., 1/20U02 is typically used to nondimensionalize pressure.

Example
Ball Falling in a Vacuum Step 1: List relevant parameters. z=f(t,w f( 0,z0,g) ) n=5 Step 2: Primary dimensions of each parameter
Step 3: As a first guess, reduction j is set to 2 which is the number of primary dimensions (L and t). ) Number of expected 's is k=n-j=5-2=3 Step 4: Choose repeating variables w0 and z0

Step 5: Combine repeating parameters into products with i h each h of f the h remaining i i parameters, one at a time, i to create the s. a1z b b1 1 = zw0a 0
a1 and b1 are constant exponents which must be determined. Use the primary dimensions identified in Step 2 and solve for a1 and b1.

Step 6:
Double check that the 's are dimensionless. Write the functional relationship between 's
Overall conclusion: Method of repeating variables properly predicts the functional relationship between dimensionless groups. However, the method cannot predict the exact mathematical form of the equation.

Flows with free surfaces present unique i challenges h ll i in achieving hi i complete dynamic similarity. For hydraulics y applications, pp , depth p is very small in comparison to horizontal dimensions. If geometric similarity is used the model depth would be so used, small that other issues would arise
Surface tension effects (Weber number) would become important important. Data collection becomes difficult.
Distorted models are therefore employed, which requires empirical corrections/correlations to extrapolate model data to full scale.

For ship hydrodynamics, Fr similarity is maintained while Re is allowed to be different. Why? Look at complete similarity:
T match t h both b th Re R and d Fr F , viscosity i it i To in th the model test is a function of scale ratio! This is not feasible.
