Undergrad How can I integrate variable velocity in fluid mechanics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on integrating variable velocity in fluid mechanics, specifically regarding linear momentum. Participants recommend the book "Transport Phenomena" by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot as a valuable resource for understanding this topic. Additionally, "Fluid Mechanics" by Landau and Lifshitz, volume 6, is highlighted for its comprehensive coverage. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting references based on individual academic backgrounds.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of linear momentum in fluid mechanics
  • Familiarity with integration techniques in calculus
  • Knowledge of fluid dynamics principles
  • Basic understanding of reference materials in engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the integration of variable velocity in fluid mechanics
  • Review "Transport Phenomena" by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot
  • Examine "Fluid Mechanics" by Landau and Lifshitz, volume 6
  • Explore additional resources on momentum conservation in fluid systems
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in fluid mechanics, engineers focusing on momentum analysis, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of variable velocity integration in fluid dynamics.

TL;DR
Material: momentum in fluid mechanics
Do you know of any place where I can look up things about the momentum (linear momentum) in fluid mechanics? It's just that when I have a variable velocity and it has to be integrated, I don't quite understand how to do it.

I have looked for videos and things and I can't find that they are integrating.

A very nice book on hydro is Landau and Lifshitz vol. 6.

Appropriate references are going to vary by the background of the student.

Thread 'A high school physics problem demonstrating relative motion'

I remembered a pretty high school problem from kinematics. But it seems it can help even undergraduates to develop their understanding of what a relative motion is. Consider a railway circle of radius ##r##. Assume that a carriage running along this circle has a speed ##v##. See the picture. A fly ##M## flies in the opposite direction and has a speed ##u,\quad |OM|=b##. Find a speed of the fly relative to the carriage. The obvious incorrect answer is ##u+v## while the correct answer is...
