What's a Gentle Introduction to Fluid Dynamics?

AI Thread Summary
A gentle introduction to fluid dynamics emphasizes starting with Bernoulli's principle, which applies to inviscid flow. As viscosity becomes a factor, the complexity increases, necessitating the use of Navier-Stokes equations. Boundary layer analysis is suggested as a more advanced topic, but it may overwhelm beginners. Plane Couette flow is recommended as a simpler example to ease into the subject. Understanding these foundational concepts is crucial before tackling more complex fluid dynamics topics.

They are removed by moving to more complicated equations such as Navier-Stokes.

Hehe, I liked your response.

To the OP, what boneh3ad is saying is that the main constraint for bernoulli is the flow is inviscid. To account for viscosity things get more complicated such as using N/S equations to deal with what occurs in viscous flows. For an application of this, look for topics related to boundary layer analysis to get a sample.
 


You are going to scare the kid by direction him straight to boundary layers. Baby steps. Plane Couette flow may be a nice starting point.

Baaah, what's so scary about boundary layers? :devil: *cough* *cough*

Good point however! :smile:

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
