Chapter 3

Kinematics and Streamline Dynamics

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After reading this chapter and solving a representative sample of end-of-chapter problems, you will be able to:

• Understand the kinematic variables used to quantify the translation of fluids.
• Calculate and plot pathlines, streamlines, and streaklines.
• Understand the meaning of the material derivative and its application.
• Calculate flow rates and average velocities.
• Understand the derivation of the Bernoulli equation and the restrictions to its use.
• Identify the preferred forms of the Bernoulli equation for liquids and gases.
• Apply the Bernoulli equation to flow measurement devices and jet trajectories.
• Understand the impact of compressibility and viscous effects on application ...
