Deriving Conservation Equations From the Laws of Physics

Physical Laws y

Fluids, being matter, must obey the laws of Physics. The ones we need are:

1. Conservation of Mass: Mass is neither created nor destroyed (nor changed to anything else)

2. Newton's Laws of Motion –•1st Law: concept of equilibrium•2nd Law: force acceleration momentum2nd Law: force, acceleration, momentum•3rd Law: action & reaction

Conservation of Energy -- 1st Law of Thermodynamics

These must be valid for all flow problems that we consider. http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/images/relativistic.jpg

They might need modification if the flow is inside a star or a Black Hole, where there may be substantial

Constitutive RelationsIn addition, we can get relations which are specific to the kind of fluid with which we are dealing.

These equations are called the "Constitutive Relations". They include the equations of state.

Equations. of State [relations between different properties]q [ p p ]•Perfect Gas Law: Thermal eqn. of state•Caloric eqn. of state

Energy contained per unit mass of a substance = (specific heat)*(temperature)

The independent variables are: velocity, density, pressure and temperature.

To solve for these in a given problem, we have the 3 conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy, and the thermal state equation.

In addition, we may be interested in other variables, like the speed of sound. Here the properties of the fluid are taken into account further using the

Conservation of Mass

If we have a fluid going in and coming out of a given region of interest, (a "control volume"), g g g g g , ( ),we can say for sure that what goes in per unit time = what comes out per unit time + what accumulates inside per unit time.

Mass going in per second= { Sum of masses going out per second Mass going in per second= { Sum of masses going out per second + mass accumulated inside in 1 second. }

In general, mass may be going in and/or out everywhere across an (imaginary ?) surface enclosing the space in which you are interested. Also, the velocity of the inflow/outflow may be nonuniform and in some arbitrary direction

Example: Closed circuit wind tunnelSettling Chamber velocity = 15 fps uniform; Settling Chamber velocity = 15 fps, uniform; steady. Chamber diameter: 20 feet. Test section is a 9-foot diameter duct. Our "control volume" has one face in the settling chamber volume has one face in the settling chamber, other face in the test section.

Snusd 0The “integral form of the mass conservation equation” becomes:

Subscript "1" refers to settling chamber face of control volume, subscript "2" refers to test section. Air cannot escape out of the sides of the "control volume, so the integral reduces to just-ρ1A1U1 + ρ2 A2U2 = 0ρ1 1 1 ρ2 2 2

Negative sign: Look at direction of vector normal to each face, with respect to the direction of U.

Thus U2 = (ρ1A1U1) / (ρ2A2)

Since the density change can be neglected, and each area is a circle, U2 = (20/9)2*15 = 74.07 ft/s.

Conservation of MomentumNewton's 2nd law of Motion: "Rate of Change of Momentum = Force" or "Net force acting on a system = time rate of change of momentum of system" Note units: M t l it Momentum = mass x velocity

= density x volume x velocity = density x area x distance x velocity

Momentum per unit time = density x velocity x velocity x area Momentum per unit time = density x velocity x velocity x area

What is being conserved? "momentum per unit volume". So the conservation equation has 2 terms on the left hand side: on the left hand side: 1. "rate of change of the quantity, integrated over the whole control volume". This is the "unsteady term". 2 "net outflow per unit time of the quantity across the surfaces of the control volume integrated over 2. net outflow per unit time of the quantity across the surfaces of the control volume, integrated over the whole control surface". This is the convection term. On the right hand side, we have surface and volume integrals of the quantities to which our "conserved quantity" may have changed. In this case, when momentum disappears, the rate of change of quantity may have changed. In this case, when momentum disappears, the rate of change of momentum produces forces of various kinds.

In general we consider two kinds of forces:

a) "Body forces" : forces that act per unit mass, such as gravity or electromagnetic forces.

b) Surface forces

Pressure is the result of molecules, flying about at random, crossing [ or colliding with ] the surface, Pressure is the result of molecules, flying about at random, crossing [ or colliding with ] the surface, thus transferring momentum. So it acts normal to the surface. It must be related to # of molecules/volume [thus related to density], and speed of random motion of molecules [thus related to temperature]. Thus, pressure is related to the product of density and temperature.p ] , p p y p

This relation is a simple proportionality (multiply by a constant) where R is the gas constant. This is called the "perfect gas law."

Don’t fluids resist the strain rate due to compression and expansion?They do, and a relation between normal stress and rate of normal strain can be written, just like the shear strain relations on the previous slide and added on to the above expressions just like the shear strain relations on the previous slide, and added on to the above expressions. However, in gases, the coefficient of resistance to normal rate of strain is very small, so that this “bulk viscosity” does not become significant unless the strain rate is extremely high. This occurs, for instance, across a shock wave, where velocity decreases by a large factor in the space This occurs, for instance, across a shock wave, where velocity decreases by a large factor in the space needed for a few (under 10) collisions between molecules.

In addition to mass and momentum, we can use the fact that Energy Equation

In addition to mass and momentum, we can use the fact that “energy is neither created nor destroyed, but can change form”

The “conserved quantity” is energy per unit volume. The lhs has the terms describing time rate of q y gy p gchange, and “flux” across the surfaces of the control volume. The rhs has the terms describing what changes the energy in the control volume: work and heat transfer. We use the first law of thermodynamics, which says that if you do work or release heat, your energy is exhausted. y y y y gyWe will leave detailed study of this equation to the course on compressible flow and thermodynamics.The measure of total energy in a flow is the “stagnation enthalpy”, which is related to the stagnation value of temperature. So the energy equation reduces to: "Stagnation temperature goes up if work or heat are added to the flowing fluid".In steady flow, with no work being added, and no heat being added (adiabatic flow), the rhs is zero, so that the energy equation reduces to “Stagnation Temperature is Constant”:

Why we don’t worry about the energy equation too much here

In low speed aerodynamics, density is usually assumed constant (changes due to velocity changes are negligibly small).

Then you need one less equation because density is no longer an unknown variable.

Th th ti i l d d t h i b t h t Thus the energy equation is rarely needed, except when one worries about what happens when work is added to the flow, as by a propeller or rotor.

In such cases we will relate the stagnation pressure to the stagnation enthalpy In such cases, we will relate the stagnation pressure to the stagnation enthalpy, and use that instead as a measure of work added or removed.

To calculate the lift and drag forces we would like to be able to calculate the pressure acting on the To calculate the lift and drag forces, we would like to be able to calculate the pressure acting on the surface. This depends on the velocity, and also the state of the fluid, which requires knowledge of the temperature and density.

Thus we would like to be able to calculate the velocity vector density temperature and pressure Thus, we would like to be able to calculate the velocity vector, density, temperature and pressure everywhere, as functions of space (x,y,z) and time (t). For this we use 3 laws of physics:

Mass is neither created nor destroyed.......... (1)

Rate of change of momentum = Net force .....(2)

Energy can change form, but is neither created nor destroyed ......(3)
