Cheg 355 - Lecture Notes - Sept. 23, 2004
Announcements
Reminder: The first exam will be a week from next Tuesday!
Class notes
Scanned Notes
The main points of the lecture were
- Plane Couette Flow and Flow Down an Inclined Plane
Goals:
After this class you should be able to:
- Set up and solve unidirectional flow problems using the Navier-Stokes equations.
Reading
- The class notes.
- BS&L, chapter 3
- Multi-Media Fluid Mechanics: Work through Dynamics:Boundary Conditions.
This section has some visualizations and simulations which will help you see how
boundary conditions influence velocity profiles.
Additional Readings:
In class today we demonstrated the phenomenon of gravity driven flow down an
inclined plane. There are many examples of this, both in the laboratory and in nature.
Perhaps the most spectacular, however, (and certainly the most deadly) are the
pyroclastic flows associated with volcanic activity. A good description of such flows
may be found here.
Demonstration:
Gravity driven flow of a viscous fluid down an inclined plane.
