A programme in four modules illustrating the features of a fluid in motion and relating to the course study units. 1: fluid flow phenomena, showing how they can be visualised; 2: fluid flows that can be...
Part 1 (1983): An introduction to the series. Aristotle’s view of air motion over bodies. The work of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo. Newton’s mechanics and his application of the momentum principle to...
Because of the need to produce lightweight efficient structures, the principles of fluid dynamics and structural mechanics have been most highly developed for application in aeronautics. However, these basic...
The problems of modelling the flow of blood in vessels, or of gases in tubes, are examined in terms of the rheology of fluids. Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids are discussed in terms of classical viscosity...
Outlines current capabilities for calculating, by way of computer simulation, the behaviour of flows in the natural environment. The problem of the dispersal of hot coolant water from power stations into...
Part 1: Derivation. A consideration of the derivation of equations for isothermal fluid flow. General arguments of continuity are applied to fluid flows. Part 2: Fluid stress/strain. Rates of fluid stress...
Flow in a pipe is used to illustrate laminar and turbulent flow. The Reynolds number is explained as the ratio of inertia and viscous forces, the key Reynolds number of 2500 being given as the limit of...
Documents the results of ten years’ research by Professor Stanley Hartland. By means of normal, high-speed and time-lapse cine techniques, key phenomena underlying drop coalescence are illustrated. In...
Phenomena associated with the rotation of homogeneous fluids. Includes horizontal trajectories in surface gravity waves, low and high Rossby number flows around spheres, Taylor walls, normal modes of inertia...
The experiments show that density variations, together with gravity, make possible forces that can generate internal waves; inhibit turbulent diffusion, or create strong velocity gradients and jets....
