Pressure distribution in “Rigid Body”
type flows.
What is a rigid body flow?
• A flow is of the “Rigid body” if the adjacent
elementary volumes maintain their relative
position, i.e. if there is no shear.
• In this case forces are exclusively resulting
from:
– Pressure or
– Gravity

If there is a free surface
• The pressure is hydrostatic and consequently there is
inclination….
• If acceleration is constant, the horizontal pressure
gradient is constant and the free surface is a plane:

• Cylindrical coordinates
are the most adequate
• i.e. the parabola vertices is at z=0 and r=0.
• The line along which p=p1 is:
• At free surface p=p0 and thus:

• i.e. the free surface is a parabola.
Free surface formation
• The volume above the resting
level is equal to the volume below
that level.
• The free surface can cut the
bottom.
Curvilinear stream lines
• Can we have any curvature?
• We are limited by the pressure gradient.
Summary
• If there is acceleration in a free surface flow,
free surface inclination will appear.
• If acceleration is linear and constant, the free
surface is plan
• If there is rotation at constant angular velocity,
the free surface is a parabola.
