You must
attend them. Should you fail to attend either one you will be asked to complete
some extra work. This will involve a detailed report and further questions. The
simplest strategy is to do the lab.]
Homework:
Example sheets: These will be given for each section of the course. Doing these will
greatly improve your exam mark. They are course work but do not have credits
toward the module.
Lecture notes: Theses should be studied but explain only the basic outline of the
necessary concepts and ideas.
Books: It is very important do some extra reading in this subject. To do the examples
you will definitely need a textbook. Any one of those identified below is adequate and
will also be useful for the fluids (and other) modules in higher years - and in work.
Example classes:
There will be example classes each week. You may bring any problems/questions
you have about the course and example sheets to these classes.

Assessment:
1 Exam of 2 hours, worth 80% of the module credits.
This consists of 6 questions of which you choose 4.
2 Multiple choice question (MCQ) papers, worth 10% of the module credits.
These will be for 30mins and set during the lectures. The timetable for these MCQs
and lectures is shown in the table at the end of this section.
Laboratories: 2 x 3 hours
These two laboratory sessions examine how well the theoretical analysis of fluid
dynamics describes what we observe in practice.
During the laboratory you will take measurements and draw various graphs according
to the details on the laboratory sheets. These graphs can be compared with those
obtained from theoretical analysis.
You will be expected to draw conclusions as to the validity of the theory based on the
results you have obtained and the experimental procedure.
After you have completed the two laboratories you should have obtained a greater
understanding as to how the theory relates to practice, what parameters are important
in analysis of fluid and where theoretical predictions and experimental measurements
may differ.
The two laboratories sessions are:
1. Impact of jets on various shaped surfaces - a jet of water is fired at a target
and is deflected in various directions. This is an example of the application of
the momentum equation.
2. The rectangular weir - the weir is used as a flow measuring device. Its
accuracy is investigated. This is an example of how the Bernoulli (energy)
equation is applied to analyses fluid flow.

These notes give more information than is found in the lectures. They do not replace textbooks.
You must also read at least one of the recommended fluid mechanics books. The notes
may be read online or printed off for personal use.
Any of the books listed below are more than adequate for this module.
(You will probably not need any more fluid mechanics books on the rest of the Civil Engineering
course)

Why are we studying fluid mechanics on a Civil Engineering course? The provision of adequate
water services such as the supply of potable water, drainage, sewerage are essential for the
development of industrial society. It is these services which civil engineers provide.
Fluid mechanics is involved in nearly all areas of Civil Engineering either directly or indirectly.
Some examples of direct involvement are those where we are concerned with manipulating the
fluid:
x
Dams;
Irrigation;
To avoid any confusion on this course we will always use the SI (metric) system - which you will
already be familiar with. It is essential that all quantities are expressed in the same system or
the wrong solutions will results.
Despite this warning you will still find that this is the most common mistake when you attempt
example questions.
0.8
The SI System of units
The SI system consists of six primary units, from which all quantities may be described. For
convenience secondary units are used in general practise which are made from combinations
of these primary units.
And some examples where the primary object is construction - yet analysis of the fluid
mechanics is essential:
x
Ground-water flow.
System of units
As any quantity can be expressed in whatever way you like it is sometimes easy to become
confused as to what exactly or how much is being referred to. This is particularly true in the field
of fluid mechanics. Over the years many different ways have been used to express the various
quantities involved. Even today different countries use different terminology as well as different
units for the same thing - they even use the same name for different things e.g. an American
pint is 4/5 of a British pint!
Primary Units
The six primary units of the SI system are shown in the table below:
Notice how nearly all of these involve water. The following course, although introducing general
fluid flow ideas and principles, will demonstrate many of these principles through examples
where the fluid is water.
Quantity

length
mass
time
temperature
current
luminosity
metre, m
kilogram, kg
second, s
Kelvin, K
ampere, A
candela
L
M
T
T
I
Cd
In fluid mechanics we are generally only interested in the top four units from this table.
Notice how the term 'Dimension' of a unit has been introduced in this table. This is not a
property of the individual units, rather it tells what the unit represents. For example a metre is a
length which has a dimension L but also, an inch, a mile or a kilometre are all lengths so have
dimension of L.
(The above notation uses the MLT system of dimensions, there are other ways of writing
dimensions - we will see more about this in the section of the course on dimensional analysis.)
Derived Units

There are many derived units all obtained from combination of the above primary units. Those
most used are shown in the table below:

1.
A water company wants to check that it will have sufficient water if there is a prolonged drought
in the area. The region it covers is 500 square miles and various different offices have sent in
the following consumption figures. There is sufficient information to calculate the amount of
water available, but unfortunately it is in several different units.
Of the total area 100 000 acres are rural land and the rest urban. The density of the urban
population is 50 per square kilometre. The average toilet cistern is sized 200mm by 15in by
0.3m and on average each person uses this 3 time per day. The density of the rural population
is 5 per square mile. Baths are taken twice a week by each person with the average volume of
water in the bath being 6 gallons. Local industry uses 1000 m3 per week. Other uses are
estimated as 5 gallons per person per day. A US air base in the region has given water use
figures of 50 US gallons per person per day.
The average rain fall in 1in per month (28 days). In the urban area all of this goes to the river
while in the rural area 10% goes to the river 85% is lost (to the aquifer) and the rest goes to the
one reservoir which supplies the region. This reservoir has an average surface area of 500
acres and is at a depth of 10 fathoms. 10% of this volume can be used in a month.

b) If the reservoir was empty and no water could be taken from the river, would there be
enough water if available if rain fall was only 10% of average?
M L-1T-1
MT-2
The above units should be used at all times. Values in other units should NOT be used without
first converting them into the appropriate SI unit. If you do not know what a particular unit means
find out, else your guess will probably be wrong.
One very useful tip is to write down the units of any equation you are using. If at the end the
units do not match you know you have made a mistake. For example is you have at the end of a
calculation,
30 kg/m s = 30 m
you have certainly made a mistake - checking the units can often help find the mistake.
More on this subject will be seen later in the section on dimensional analysis and similarity.

Viscosity in Liquids
xThere is some molecular interchange between layers
in liquids - but the cohesive forces are also important.
xIncreasing temperature of a fluid reduces the cohesive
forces and increases the molecular interchange.
Resulting in a complex relationship between

Fluid dynamics:
Flow Classification
uniform:
Flow conditions (velocity, pressure, crosssection or depth) are the same at every point in
the fluid.
non-uniform:
Flow conditions are not the same at every point.
steady:
Flow conditions may differ from point to point
but DO NOT change with time.
unsteady:
Flow conditions change with time at any point.
85
86
Three-dimensional flow
In general fluid flow is three-dimensional.
88
Two-dimensional flow
But:
Since flow must be zero at the pipe wall
- yet non-zero in the centre there is a difference of parameters across the
cross-section.

Laminar flow
Transitional flow
Turbulent flow
Laminar flow:
Motion of the fluid particles is very orderly
all particles moving in straight lines
parallel to the pipe walls.
Turbulent flow:
Motion is, locally, completely random but the
overall direction of flow is one way.
But what is fast or slow?
At what speed does the flow pattern change?
And why might we want to know this?

Tee-Junctions
Y-Junctions
Tee junctions are special cases of the Y-junction.
Localised effect
Downstream the boundary layer reattaches and
normal flow occurs.
Boundary layer separation is only local.
Nevertheless downstream of a
junction / bend /valve etc.
fluid will have lost energy.

Aerofoil
Normal flow over a aerofoil or a wing cross-section.

Solution:
Prevent separation.
1 Engine intakes draws slow air from the boundary
layer at the rear of the wing though small holes
2 Move fast air from below to top via a slot.
