5. INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION: a fluid is a substance which deforms continuously under the application of shear stress. Gas and liquid are classified as fluids while solids are not classified as fluids because it returns some shear stress and there is finite deformation.
PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF FLUIDS
Density (): mass per unit volume

6. Specific volume: This is the reciprocal of density that is
Specific weight (): weight per unit volume
Specific gravity: Ratio of density fluid to that of water

7. Viscosity: ability to resist flow.
Types of viscosity
Absolute viscosity ()
Kinematic viscosity ()
Mathematically we have
Where  is the shear stress (force per unit area)

8. Pressure: force per unit area (kPa)
Surface tension: Force per unit length on surface of liquid (N/m)
Stress: For a liquid in motion, there are 2 types of stress
Normal stress ()
Shear stress ()

9. TYPES OF FLOWS Definitions:
i) Stream line – A streamline is a line drain of any instance across which there is no flow component so that at any point on it, the resultant velocity is in direction tangential to the streamline. Streamlines are therefore, imaginary lines traced out by successive fluid particles through the flow stream. Streamlines concept has neglected secondary fluctuations superimposed by turbulence.
Stream tube: - A stream tube may be regarded as a bundle of streamlines. It is a tube whose walls are made up of continuous, streamlines and across which there can be no flows. Streamlines and streamtubes have no physical (significant) substance. They are geometric figures which the observer images to be drawn within the flowing fluid.
In general, 4 types of flow exist viz:-
a.) Laminar/turbulent flow
b) Rotational/Irrotational flow
c) Steady/unsteady flow
d) Uniform/Non Uniform flow

10. LAMINAR / TURBULENT FLOW
In laminar flow all fluid Particles proceed along parallel paths and there is no transverse component of velocity. The orderly progressions of movement is such that each particle follow exactly a path preceeding it flunctuations. Laminar flow is associated with low-velocities and sluggish viscious fluids. If a dye is injected, the filament of dye will remain or stay without diffusion. In laminar flow the motion is close to rectilinear. There is much greater transverse velocity gradient in laminar flow than in turbulent flow.
d/dr (laminar) > dv/dr (turbulent) ( )
For a pipe, the ratio of mean velocity, V and the maximum velocity Vmax = (V/Vmax = 0.5)
In turbulent flow, the progression of fluid particles is irregular and haphazard interchange of motion. Individual particles are subjected to fluctuating transverse velocities. The motion can be described as eddying and sinuous.

11. Steady and Unsteady Flows
Flow is steady when conditions at any point are constant with respect to time. Examples are constant discharge in a conduit or open channel. Depth does not change during time interval
Flow is unsteady when conditions vary with respect to time. Example is varied discharge in a conduit or open channel, wave motions, floods and rising and falling hydrographs

12. Uniform and Non-uniform flow
Space is an important criteria for classifying flows into uniform or non-uniform
Flow is uniform when there is no variation in the magnitude and direction of the velocity vector from one point to another along the path of flow
Flow is non-uniform when velocity vector varies with location. Example is flow between converging and diverging boundaries

13. Rotational and Irrotational Flow
Are applicable to flow adjacent to a straight boundary.
Flow is rotational if each fluid particle has an angular velocity about its own mass centre
Flow is Irrotational if the velocity is inversely proportional to the radius, r. The two axes rotate in opposite directions

14. Dynamics of Fluid flows and laws of fluid flow
Continuity Equation: A1V1 = A2V2
Energy Equation: Most powerful tool used to analyze fluid flow problems. Flow assumed to be steady and fluid frictionless and incompressible.
Momentum Equation:

15. Devices for flow Measurement
Venturimeter- Device for measuring discharge of a pipe. Constriction in pipes cross section which causes an increase in velocity at the throat.
Pitot tube- device for measuring the velocity of flow of a fluid usually when a free water surface exists.
Orifices-used to measure flows Q=AV
Notches and Weirs- Obstructions to flow intended to cause the fluid to backup behind the weir or notch and flow through it in a regular fashion.
Triangular Notch and V-Notch: Used when it is required that the coefficient of discharge should remain constant over a wide range of head.

16. Pipe Flow
Steady turbulent

17. Form losses in Pipe Flow
In pipe flow, the main energy loss is carried by boundary friction. There may be other losses.
Examples are:
sudden enlargement- movement of water from a smaller diameter pipe to a bigger diameter pipe.
Sudden contraction- movement from bigger size pipe to one of smaller size. HL = CV22/2g
Entry loss- the discharge of water from a reservoir into the distribution system (mains) can be considered as a special case of sudden contraction.

18. Form losses in Pipe Flow (Contd)
Exit loss- the discharge of water into a reservoir from a pumping main station. It is a special case of sudden enlargement.

19. Complex Network
Pipe connection in a complex network is frequently a combination of series and parallel.
Flow in pipe is analogous to current flow through resistors
Pipes in series: Q1=Q2, HL = HL1 + HL2 current is equal in both pipes
Pipes in Parallel: Q = Q1 +Q2 HL1 = HL2 voltage is equal in both pipes
