Properties of Fluids

The term fluid represents a type of substance that can easily change its shape under any external pressure/force and can flow. Fluids can acquire any shape in which it is stored and can resist normal stresses but cannot resist shear stress in rest condition. Whenever external shear stress is applied to fluids, it starts to flow. The fluids may be liquid or gas. Example- water, air, etc.

1. Consider a two-dimensional flow which varies in time and is defined by the velocity field, u = 1 and v = 2yt. a) Is the flow field incompressible at all times? b) Compute the convective derivative of each velocity component: Du/Dt and Dv/Dt. c) By considering the velocity gradients, determine whether the fluid elements experience any deformation. What type(s) of deformation do they experience? d) Do the fluid elements experience angular rotation? Thus, state whether the flow field is rotational or irrotational. e) Given that the density of the fluid does not vary spatially and changes only with time, what differential equation for the density, p(t), must be satisfied for this scenario to represent a physical, compressible flow field? f) At time t = 0, the density everywhere is p = Po. Determine how the density changes with time, given the situation does represent a physical, compressible flow field.
