Overview
Fluid Kinematics deals with the motion of fluids without necessarily considering the forces and moments which create the motion.
Items discussed in this Chapter. Material derivative and its relationship to Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of fluid flow.

Lagrangian Description
Two ways to describe motion are Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptionLagrangian description of fluid flow tracks the position and velocity of individual particles. (eg. Brilliard ball on a pooltable.)Motion is described based upon Newton's laws. Difficult to use for practical flow analysis.
Fluids are composed of billions of molecules.Interaction between molecules hard to describe/model.
However, useful for specialized applicationsSprays, particles, bubble dynamics, rarefied gases.Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian methods.
Named after Italian mathematician Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813).

Eulerian Description
Eulerian description of fluid flow: a flow domain or control volume is defined by which fluid flows in and out.We define field variables which are functions of space and time.
Pressure field, P=P(x,y,z,t)
Velocity field,
Acceleration field,
These (and other) field variables define the flow field.Well suited for formulation of initial boundary-value problems (PDE's).Named after Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783).

EXAMPLEL A: A Steady Two-Dimensional Velocity Field
A steady, incompressible, two-dimensional velocity field is given by
A stagnation point is defined as a point in the flow field where the velocity is identically zero. (a) Determine if there are any stagnation points in this flow field and, if so, where? (b) Sketch velocity vectors at several locations in the domain between x = - 2 m to 2 m and y = 0 m to 5 m; qualitatively describe the flow field.

Acceleration Field
Consider a fluid particle and Newton's second law,
The acceleration of the particle is the time derivative of the particle's velocity.
However, particle velocity at a point at any instant in time t is the same as the fluid velocity,
To take the time derivative of, chain rule must be used.

Acceleration Field
Since
In vector form, the acceleration can be written as
First term is called the local acceleration and is nonzero only for unsteady flows.Second term is called the advective acceleration and accounts for the effect of the fluid particle moving to a new location in the flow, where the velocity is different.

EXAMPLE: Acceleration of a Fluid Particle through a Nozzle
Nadeen is washing her car, using a nozzle. The nozzle is 3.90 in (0.325 ft) long, with an inlet diameter of 0.420 in (0.0350 ft) and an outlet diameter of 0.182 in. The volume flow rate through the garden hose (and through the nozzle) is 0.841 gal/min (0.00187 ft3/s), and the flow is steady. Estimate the magnitude of the acceleration of a fluid particle moving down the centerline of the nozzle.

Material Derivative
The total derivative operator d/dt is call the material derivative and is often given special notation, D/Dt.
Advective acceleration is nonlinear: source of many phenomenon and primary challenge in solving fluid flow problems.Provides ``transformation'' between Lagrangian and Eulerian frames.Other names for the material derivative include: total, particle, Lagrangian, Eulerian, and substantial derivative.

Flow visualization is the visual examination of flow-field features.Important for both physical experiments and numerical (CFD) solutions.Numerous methods
Streamlines and streamtubesPathlinesStreaklinesTimelinesRefractive techniquesSurface flow techniques
While quantitative study of fluid dynamics requires advanced mathematics, much can be learned from flow visualization

Streamlines
A Streamline is a curve that is everywhere tangent to the instantaneous local velocity vector.
Consider an arc length
must be parallel to the local velocity vector

Streamtube
A streamtube consists of a bundle of streamlines (Both are instantaneous quantities). Fluid within a streamtube must remain there and cannot cross the boundary of the streamtube.In an unsteady flow, the streamline pattern may change significantly with time. the mass flow rate passing through any cross-sectional slice of a given streamtube must remain the same.

Pathlines

A modern experimental technique called particle image velocimetry (PIV) utilizes (tracer) particle pathlines to measure the velocity field over an entire plane in a flow (Adrian, 1991).

Comparisons
For steady flow, streamlines, pathlines, and streaklines are identical.
For unsteady flow, they can be very different. Streamlines are an instantaneous picture of the flow field
Pathlines and Streaklines are flow patterns that have a time history associated with them.
Streakline: instantaneous snapshot of a time-integrated flow pattern.
Pathline: time-exposed flow path of an individual particle.

Refractive Flow Visualization Techniques
Based on the refractive property of light waves in fluids with different index of refraction, one can visualize the flow field: shadowgraph technique and schlieren technique.

Plots of Flow Data
Flow data are the presentation of the flow properties varying in time and/or space.A Profile plot indicates how the value of a scalar property varies along some desired direction in the flow field.A Vector plot is an array of arrows indicating the magnitude and direction of a vector property at an instant in time.A Contour plot shows curves of constant values of a scalar property for the magnitude of a vector property at an instant in time.
