Fluid Mechanics
• Fluids essential to life
• Human body 65% water
• Earth’s surface is 2/3 water
• Atmosphere extends 17km above the earth’s surface
• History shaped by fluid mechanics
• Geomorphology
• Human migration and civilization
• Modern scientific and mathematical theories and methods
• Warfare
• Affects every part of our lives

Three regimes of flow depending on k+
1. K+<5, hydraulically smooth (no effect of roughness)
2. 5 < K+< 70, transitional roughness (Re dependent)
3. K+> 70, fully rough (independent Re)

Experimental Fluid Dynamics (EFD)
Definition:
Use of experimental methodology and procedures for solving fluids engineering
systems, including full and model scales, large and table top facilities,
measurement systems (instrumentation, data acquisition and data reduction),
uncertainty analysis, and dimensional analysis and similarity.
EFD philosophy:
• Decisions on conducting experiments are governed by the ability of the expected
test outcome, to achieve the test objectives within allowable uncertainties.
• Integration of UA into all test phases should be a key part of entire experimental
program
• test design
• determination of error sources
• estimation of uncertainty
• documentation of the results

Purpose
• Science & Technology: understand and investigate a
phenomenon/process, substantiate and validate a theory
(hypothesis)
• Research & Development: document a process/system,
provide benchmark data (standard procedures,
validations), calibrate instruments, equipment, and
facilities
• Industry: design optimization and analysis, provide data
for direct use, product liability, and acceptance
• Teaching: instruction/demonstration
