If it is too large the density can change from one region to another. Mecânica de Fluídos Ambiental 2015/2016 Continuum Hypothesis • Elementary volume is much larger than 10-9 mm3 • Is necessary because we cannot assess the movement of individual molecules (too many) • But they move individually.... • The unknown molecule movement will be dealt as diffusion in the equations. • When do we have velocity in a fluid? • When there is net mass transport across a surface. Mecânica de Fluídos Ambiental 2015/2016 What is the velocity? • Velocity is the flux of volume per unit of area • At a given point, i, velocity is defined as a flow per unit of area, and when the A0: 𝑑𝑄 𝑣𝑖 = 𝑑𝐴𝑖 • In a 3D space, a surface can have 3 orientations and thus velocity can have up to 3 components • In 1 direction, the velocity component is given by the internal product of the velocity vector by the unitary vector along that direction • Using the surface normal 𝑛 we can write: 𝑑𝑄 𝑑𝑄 𝑣𝑛 = = 𝑣. 𝑛 𝑑𝐴 𝑑𝐴 Mecânica de Fluídos Ambiental 2015/2016 Discharge / Advective Flux • Knowing: • the 3 velocity components • the velocity is the discharge per unit of area when A0 • we can compute the discharge across an area integrating the velocity along the whole area 𝑑𝑣𝑜𝑙 𝑑𝑡 Mecânica de Fluídos Ambiental 2015/2016 = 𝑑𝑄 = 𝑣 ∙ 𝑛 𝑑𝐴 𝑄= 𝐴 𝑣∙ Discharge / Advective Flux • Defining a specific property (c) as its value (M) per unit of volume (when the volume tends to zero): 𝑐= 𝑑𝑀 𝑑𝑣𝑜𝑙 • the flux of M across an elementary surface is given by: 𝑑𝑚 = 𝑑𝑀 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑑𝑀 𝑑𝑣𝑜𝑙 𝑑𝑣𝑜𝑙 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑐 𝑑𝑄 = 𝑐 𝑣. 𝑛 𝑑𝐴 • the flux of M across a surface is given by: 𝑚= 𝐴 𝑐 𝑣. 𝑛 𝑑𝐴 • If c is uniform along the surface then: 𝑚=𝑐 Mecânica de Fluídos Ambiental 2015/2016 𝐴 𝑣. 𝑛 𝑑𝐴 Summary • • • • We know what is fluid Mechanics and what is for; We know what is a fluid; We know what is velocity and the advective flux; We know that Fluid Mechanics aims to study flows and thus to know the velocity distributions; • To compute fluxes we also need to know specific properties distributions….
