#fluid flow

Standing waves on a shallow stream bed, with an actual wavelength between them!!!. Some of them are peaks of pure liquid, while yet others of those peaks are crested with a slight tuft of foam. Once again we witness an interaction between the stream bed and the fluid flowing over it, each sculpting the other into a wavy pattern.

I’m kind of procrastinating some thermo HW so here’s a snapshot of the evolution of my handwriting throughout this semester! As I’ve adjusted to how ridiculously fast my professors write I’ve got from cursive back to print and also changed the thickness of the pen and WOW does it make a significant difference.

I’ve found that my normal method of studying (re-writing notes) doesn’t work when I’m always running on a time crunch, so I’ve been focusing on making my in-class notes more legible and organized so that I can print them and revise from them for exams. I’ve even started doing my homework on my iPad and let me tell you it saves HOURS of formatting and erasing and saves trees because I’m using so much less paper.

Regular readers of this blog will be aware that I have been working for many years on validation processes for computational models of structures employed in a wide range of sectors, including aerospace engineering [see ‘The blind leading the blind’ on May 27th, 2020] and nuclear energy [see ‘Million to one’ on November 21st, 2018].  Validation is determining the extent to which predictions from…

6 Different Types of Fluid Flow in Pipe [Fluid Mechanics]

Types of Fluid Flow: Fluid flow may be classified as: Steady flow and Unsteady flow Uniform flow and Non-uniform flow One, Two, and Three-dimensional flow Rotational flow and Irrotational flow Laminar flow and Turbulent flow Compressible flow and Incompressible flow 1. Steady flow and Unsteady flow When the fluid properties such as velocity, density, acceleration, etc do not change with time…

A combination of CFD and FEA simulations can be used to predict the deformation of structures following the force exerted by the surrounding fluid flow. The results(pressure values) obtained by the flow analysis can be used as input values(force value) for the structural analysis. This technique can be used to get very accurate results in the following sectors.
