Difficulties?
• The formalism....
Difficulties are apparent because:
• Fluid Mechanics requires a FEW physical
concepts.
• Mathematical operators are mostly
derivatives, gradients and divergences.
• This course is an excellent opportunity to
consolidate basic concepts of Engineering
Sciences.

Requirements
• Physics: Forces, Newton law and acceleration,
kinetic energy, momentum, fluxes.
• Mathematics: derivative, integral, divergence,
gradient, vector internal and external
products.
Conhecimentos a aquirir
• Compreensão das equações da mecânica dos
fluidos e dos processos que determinam o
movimento do fluido.
• Domínio dos conceitos de advecção e de
difusão e do conceito de equação de evolução
essenciais para as disciplinas a jusante.
MFA practical part
• A computational component is added to the classical
exercises with 3 objectives:
1. To show that Fluid Mechanics goes much beyond simple
analytical solutions;
2. To help students to enhance their programing skills.
3. To replace the classical laboratory lectures (laboratories
were essential before computational methods were
available).
• This component will be consolidated with a group
home work programmed using – preferentially - VBA. It
is part of the MS Office is object oriented and useful
for a wide range of engineering issues (database,
internet...).

What is a fluid?
• Is formed by molecules...
– That move, as in any other type of matter above 0 ̊K.
– The difference between a fluid and a solid is that in the
fluid the molecules can change their relative positions
allowing them to get the shape of the containers.
– Fluids can be liquids or gases
• In gases molecules have free relative movement.
• In liquids molecules form groups with relative free
movement (allowing them to get the shape of the
container) which dimension depends on temperature
(influencing their viscosity).
Why is Fluid Mechanics distinct from
Solid Mechanics?
• In a fluid each molecule (or group of molecules) have
relative movement freedom and not in solids. The
consequence is that tangential stress deforms the
fluids. Or in other words, if there is tangential stress
there is movement.
• Normal stress compress the fluid, that can remain in
rest. Tangential shear moves the fluid in layers creating
velocity gradients.
Shear is proportional to
the rate of deformation.
Continuum Hypothesis
• Necessary because we cannot assess the
movement of individual molecules (too many
and the Heisenberg principle) .
• But they move individually....
– The unknown molecule movement will be dealt as
diffusion in the equations.
• When do we have velocity in a fluid?
– When there is net mass transport across a surface.
• What is velocity?
What is the velocity?
• Velocity is the flux of volume per unit of area.
• The Velocity is defined in a point and thus is the flow per unit of
area, when the area tends to zero.
dQ

dA
• A surface can have 3 orientations in a tridimensional space and thus
velocity can have up to 3 components.
• The velocity component in one direction is the internal product of
the velocity vector by the unitary vector along that direction. Using

Discharge / Advective Flux
Knowing the 3 Velocity components and knowing that the
velocity is the discharge per unit of area when the area tends to
zero ( The velocity is definided in a point) we can compute the
discharge integrating the velocity along the whole area:

Defining a specific property as its value per unit of volume,
(when the volume tends to zero)
We can say that the flux
of M across na

Summary
•
•
•
•
We know what is fluid Mechanics and what for.
We know what is a fluid,
We know what is velocity and the advective flux.
We know that Fluid Mechanics aims to study
flows and thus to know the velocity distributions.
• To compute fluxes we also need to know specific
properties distributions….
