Control Volume Analysis

The governing equations can be obtained in the integral form
by choosing a control volume (CV) in the flow field and
applying the principles of the conservation of mass,
momentum and energy to the CV.

Consider a differential volume element dV in the flow
field. dV is small enough to be considered infinitesimal but
large enough to contain a large number of molecules for
continuum approach to be valid.
dV may be:
fixed in space with fluid flowing in and out of its surface
or,
moving so as to contain the same fluid particles all the
time. In this case the boundaries may distort and the
volume may change.

that it consists of the local derivative and the convective derivatives.

Consider a control volume moving with the fluid.

Its mass is fixed with respect to time.
Its volume and surface change with time as it moves from one location

be written as

element is moving with the flow and it would undergo both the local

Continuity Equation
Consider the CV fixed in space. Unlike the earlier case the shape and
size of the CV are the same at all times. The conservation of mass can
be stated as:
Net rate of outflow of mass from CV through surface S = time rate of

decrease of mass inside the CV

The net outflow of mass from the CV can be written as

can be (+) or (-) depending on the directions of the velocity and the
surface element.

Momentum equation
Isaac
MAEEM Dept.,
UMR
Consider the moving fluid element model shown in Figure 2.2b
Basis is Newtons 2nd Law which says F = m a
Note that this is a vector equation.
It can be written in terms of the three cartesian scalar components, the
first of which becomes
Fx = m ax
Since we are considering a fluid element moving with the fluid, its mass, m,
is fixed.
The momentum equation will be obtained by writing expressions for the
externally applied force, Fx, on the fluid element and the acceleration, ax,
of the fluid element.
The externally applied forces can be divided into two types:
Isaac
MAEEM Dept.,
UMR
1. Body forces: Distributed throughout the control volume. Therefore,
this is proportional to the volume. Examples: gravitational forces,
magnetic forces, electrostatic forces.
2. Surface forces: Distributed at the control volume surface. Proportional

to the surface area. Examples: forces due to surface and normal stresses.
These can be calculated from stress-strain rate relations.
Body force on the fluid element = fx dx dy dz

where fx is the body force per unit mass in the x-direction
The shear and normal stresses arise from the deformation of the fluid
element as it flows along. The shape as well as the volume of the fluid
element could change and the associated normal and tangential stresses
give rise to the surface stresses.

The relation between stress and rate of strain in a fluid is known from the
type of fluid we are dealing with.
Most of our discussion will relate to Newtonian fluids for which
Stress is proportional to the rate of strain
For non-Newtonian fluids more complex relationships should be used.
Notation: stress ij indicates stress acting on a plane perpendicular

to the i-direction (x-axis) and the stress acts in the
direction, j, (y-axis).
The stresses on the various faces of the fluid element can written as
shown in Figure 2.8. Note the use of Taylor series to write the
stress components.

the terms involving viscosity.
Summary
Apply conservation equations to a control volume (CV)

As the CV shrinks to infinitesimal volume, the resulting partial
differential equations are the Navier-Stokes equations
Taylor series can be used to write the variables
The total derivative consists of local time derivative and convective
derivative terms
In incompressible flow, divergence of velocity is a statement of
the conservation of volume
Need surface and body forces to write the momentum equation
Surface forces are: pressure forces, forces due to normal stresses
and forces due to shear stresses
Body forces are due to weight, magnetism and electrostatics
Momentum equation is a vector equation. Can be written in terms
of its components.
Summary
Stresses are indicated by a plane and a direction, respectively, by two subscripts

For Newtonian fluids, stresses are proportional to the rates of strain
Stokes hypothesis is used to relate the first and second coefficients of viscosity
The resulting equations are the Navier-Stokes equations
In order to solve the equations, they must be simplified for the problem
you are considering (e. g., boundary layer, jet, airfoil flow, nozzle flow)
