Chapter 5
Differential Analysis
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After reading this chapter and solving a representative sample of end-of-chapter problems, you will be able to:
- Describe the kinematics of fluid motion in terms of translation, rotation, and deformation.
- Understand and apply the differential forms of the continuity and momentum equations.
- Calculate stream and potential functions for incompressible irrotational flows.
- Apply potential-flow theory to the solution of practical problems.
- Understand turbulent flow and the analysis of turbulent flow.
5.1 Introduction
Fundamental equations that govern the flow of fluids are the conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy. In the previous chapter, these equations were put in forms that are ...
