Many phenomena that affect us in our daily lives are related to pressure in flowing fluids. For example, one indicator of our health, blood pressure, is related to the flow of blood through veins and arteries. The atmospheric pressure readings reported in weather forecasts control atmospheric flow patterns related to local weather conditions. Even the rotary motion generated when we stir a cup of coffee gives rise to pressure variations and flow patterns that enhance mixing. The relationship between pressure and flow velocity is also important in many engineering applications. In the design of tall structures, the pressure forces from the wind may dictate the design of individual elements, such as windows, as well as the basic structure to withstand wind loads. In aircraft design, the pressure distribution is primarily responsible for lift and contributes to the drag of the aircraft. In the design of flow systems, such as heating and air conditioning, the pressure distribution is responsible for flow in the ducts. The force balance between pressure and weight in a static fluid was presented in Chapter 3, which lead to an equation for pressure variation with depth. In this chapter the pressure variation in flowing fluids will be addressed. The concepts of pathlines and streamlines help visualize and understand fluid motion. The definition of fluid velocity and acceleration leads to an application of Newton's second law relating forces on a fluid element to the product of mass and acceleration. These relationships lead to the Bernoulli equation, which relates local pressure and elevation to fluid velocity and is fundamental to many fluid mechanic applications. This chapter also introduces the idea of fluid rotation and the concept of irrotationality. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. 2 of 2 1/15/2009 12:19 AM
