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 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Technical Analysis on Titan Sub (Titanic Sub)'

TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
