Tutorial 1 Chapter 1: 1. Starting from 3D Navier-Stokes equation, derive the Euler's equation for 2D flow. State the assumptions made for Euler's equation. 2. In parallel 1D flow in the positive x-direction, the flow velocity varies from 0 m/s at y=0m to 10m/s at y = 5 m. Derive the stream function and potential function in terms of y. 3. The stream function of an inviscid and incompressible flow field is given by: $psi = 2x^2y - frac{2}{3}y^3$ Where $psi$ has the unit of $m^2/s$ and x and y are in meters. Determine the pressure at point x = 4 m, y = 5 m, if the pressure at x = 1 m and y = 1 m is 100kPa. Neglect the change in elevation, and the fluid is water. 4. Flow through a diverging nozzle can be approximated by a 1D velocity distribution u = u(x). Assume the velocity varies linearly from u = V$_o$ at the inlet to u = 0.25V$_o$ at the outlet, compute the deceleration of the fluid particles as a function of x. 5. Show that the continuity equation for steady incompressible flow is $frac{partial u}{partial x} + frac{partial v}{partial y} + frac{partial w}{partial z} = 0$

The 3D Navier-Stokes equation is given by: ρ(∂u/∂t + u.∇u) = -∇p + μ∇²u + ρg where ρ is the fluid density, u is the velocity vector, p is the pressure, μ is the dynamic viscosity, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. The Euler's equation for 2D flow is Show more…

Consider a steady, incompressible, laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid in an infinitely long round pipe of diameter D. A constant pressure gradient ∂P/∂x is applied on the fluid in the x-direction: Applied Pressure gradient = ∂P/∂x = (P1 - P2) / (x2 - x1) = constant where x1 and x2 are two arbitrary points along the x-axis, and P1 and P2 are the corresponding pressures at these locations. Starting with the appropriate form of the Navier-Stokes equation, derive an expression for the velocity field inside the pipe and estimate the viscous shear stress acting on the pipe wall. Note that we adopt a modified cylindrical coordinate system here with x instead of z for the axial component, namely, (r, u, x) and (ur, u̸, u).
