Swimming and flying [Aerodynamics #21]
In this video, we cover the aerodynamics of how animals swim and fly. This includes the entire range of shapes and sizes of animals, from whales down to bacteria. We use physical intuition of the Navier-Stokes equations to decompose the forcing mechanisms into (1) added mass; (2) momentum injection; (3) drag-based; (4) lift-based; and (5) viscous-based strategies. We pay special attention to lift-based thrust due to it's widespread use in nature. In addition, we cover how the drag behavior of big fast animals are different from small, slow animals. Swimmers and flyers often do clever strategies for manipulating and interacting with the wake of itself and others through interesting flow fe...

Hypersonics [Aerodynamics #20]
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.3 года назад
In this video, we cover Hypersonic flow, a new regime of high-speed aerodynamics that literally breaks our fluids/thermo analysis. We go so fast that the gas is impacted on a molecular, and even atomic level. This results physically in very thin, aggressive shock layers; thick boundary layers; entropy layers; and low density effects that lead to lack of a continuous gas assumption. It is an ext...
What causes lift [Aerodynamics #13a]
Просмотров 8 тыс.3 года назад
The origin of lift is complex and often questioned. Some misguided explanations include the equal transit time or air "pushing" the foil. While they are attractive, simplified explanations they do not capture the entire truth. Here, we try our best to explain the source of Lift, the "why", from fundamental principles. We will see that Lift is a balance of conservation of mass, momentum, and ene...
Compressible flow [Fluid Mechanics #18]

In today's video we introduce the complicated and vast world of compressible flows. Until now in this series, we have assumed density was constant. Now, we allow density to change, due to the flow, and lots of interesting things happen. We will go over what compressible flow is physically, how to tell if flow is compressible via the Mach number and comparing Kinetic and Internal fluid energy, h...
CFD - Computational Fluid Dynamics [Fluid Mechanics #17]

In this video, we take a break from the theory and visit a new way to try and approach and analyze flow problems. Generally, you can learn more about flows through either Theoretical Derivation, Experiments, and now Computational Simulation. Here, we explore the basics of Computational Fluid Mechanics, also known as CFD, which is the process of using a computer to solve discretized linearized v...
Pressure gradients and separation [Fluid Mechanics #16]
Просмотров 7 тыс.3 года назад
In this video, we zoom in on lifting surfaces. Curved surfaces in fluid mechanics generally lead to streamwise pressure gradients in the flow, which adds to the flow complexity. Pressure gradients can be favorable (accelerate the flow) or adverse (decelerate the flow). If an adverse pressure gradient is strong enough, flow separation can occur on the surface, leading to a loss in aerodynamic pe...
Lift and drag [Fluid Mechanics #15]

In this video, we zoom out from the flow itself and start to consider the impact of a fluid on a body moving through it. We are constantly travelling through air/water, and many vehicles are designed to more easily move through and manipulate the fluid. This is the field of aerodynamics (air) and hydrodynamics (water). The primary body forces are Lift and Drag. Forces on a body come from pressu...
Turbulent boundary layers [Fluid Mechanics #14]
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
In this video we continue our exploration of External Flows with the Turbulent Boundary Layer. Fluid moving near a wall slows down in a velocity deficit region known as the boundary layer due to viscosity. At high enough Reynolds numbers, this flow becomes turbulent and, although there is still a boundary layer, it is much different in behavior and structure. We will explore the physical charac...
Laminar boundary layers [Fluid Mechanics #13]
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.3 года назад
In this video, we pivot from enclosed flows (pipes/channels) to external flows like boundary layers. A boundary layer is a thin region of flow near the wall that is slowed down due to viscosity and the no-slip condition at the wall. It is critical in our understanding and prediction of many real world flows. We will try and solve the boundary layer theoretically, arriving at the famous solution...
Fluid measurement [Fluid Mechanics #12]
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.3 года назад
In this lecture we take a short break from the theory and start to think about fluid measurement. Whether we are dealing with laminar or turbulent flows, we need observations to confirm our theoretical derivations. Sometimes, these observations come as measurements. Here we cover: (1) what do we need to measure? - velocity [u v w] and pressure [p]; (2) what are measurement resolution and error?...
Reynolds decomposition and Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) [Fluid Mechanics #11]

In this video, we take a deep dive into the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (a.k.a. RANS). In practice, RANS is a valuable tool to have in your toolbelt when approaching real-world flow scenarios. To get these equations, we need to apply Reynolds Decomposition, separating a time-varying signal into the mean and fluctuating components, to the Conservation Equations and then average the...
Turbulence [Fluid Mechanics #10]

With this video, we introduce Turbulence, my favorite topic in fluid mechanics. A flow state characterized by chaos and mess that's literally everywhere in the world. With laminar flows we could make assumptions like steady, fully-developed, two-dimensional, etc. With turbulence, there are no available assumptions to make the Navier-Stokes equations easier to work with, and as a result are not ...

These quantities will be useful for fluids analysis and we d...
Laminar pipe flow [Fluid Mechanics #9]

The study of laminar pipe flows. Like enclosed channel flow, we will solve the conservation of pipe flows but in cylindrical coordinates. Specifically, we will focus on pressure driven pipe flow. The conservation of mass and momentum-x will get us the velocity fields, and we will go a bit further and explore the pressure field with the other two momentum equations.

    This lecture is very useful for me as a mechanical engineer. However, I still have some doubts. At 4:29, you mentioned the pressure distribution over a cylinder. My question is, at the stagnation point, the velocity will be zero. I have studied that pressure is inversely proportional to velocity, so at the stagnation point, the pressure should be at its maximum. Is that correct?

    • @prof.vanburen
      @prof.vanburen 2 месяца назад

      The pressure will be the stagnation pressure at the point where the fluid stops, which is typically the highest pressure point in the flow (you have traded all the bulk kinetic energy of the fluid for internal energy).

    • @prof.vanburen
      @prof.vanburen 2 месяца назад

      Excellent question! Generally, the pressure data is pointwise and discretized along the surface, so fitting a function to it that you can then integrate is prone to errors. Certainly not impossible, and it has been done a bunch in the past. A particular favorite of mine is an experiment by GI Taylor, famed fluid mechanician, who flew an aircraft and simultaneously took pictures of a manometer in the cockpit that represented the pressure distribution over the wing in flight back in the early 1900s.

    • @prof.vanburen
      @prof.vanburen 2 месяца назад

      No problem! When Gamma(z) is arbitrary, the way to find it is a guess and check method (see around 19:28 in the video). You would start with guessing a Gamma distribution, then through a series of steps you can solve for the lift distribution which gives you a new Gamma. Plug this Gamma back into the beginning, and do that iteratively until Gamma converges. The video might be more clear!

    Bad handwriting too hard to read. Use a computer, not a pen

  • @RichardKCollins
    @RichardKCollins 4 месяца назад

    Bad handwriting, use a computer. There are about 5.4 Billion people using the Internet now. Step up your presentations to match, not down to a hypothetical or organization driven "captive class room". Your visualization are decent, but lack substantially because your drawing skills are not that great. Start with energy and the models, then talk about phenomena with data in hand. Not dribble it in vaguely when you happen to remember while talking. You use words too much where real world images would be better. Even Wikimedia images are better than writing words in English. Animations can be standard symbols of things, once learned and easy to generate, they become tools and reminders of what is possible. There are thousands of languages in the world, and hundreds written and used on the Internet. Most anyone might have seen the images, and never heard or seen the thousands of names people use. You did not link to the background. Like writing a book or paper with no references or index. When you seriously face billions of Internet users, do it consciously and professionally, or at least with some serious intent to talk to and show billions, not thousands. The world has changed and you can be a drag, throwing minds in many vague directions, or you can at every moment and movement reduce momentum, energy and acceleration losses. Turbulence is intimately tied to invisibility and inability to see and anticipate. So show everything, clearly and succinctly, and have everything at hand to bring to bear whatever might be lacking or wanting. It is possible. In many cases it is the difference between dying and survival in conflicts or complex pathways. Hypervelocities are already with us, but you are teaching methods that barely work for steam engines and fossil fuels. Filed as (The world needs complete, dynamic, anticipatory tools and methods, where speed matters) At 10,000 subscribers, RUclips and many other sites will monetize.

    • @prof.vanburen
      @prof.vanburen 5 месяцев назад

      My pleasure! I looked through the video again because I wanted to be sure, I am not sure where Cp (which is sometimes pressure coefficient) pops up, but I suspect you mean Cl instead, as in the lift coefficient? If so, I should say first that Cl does not *perfectly* stay the same at different scales. Other concepts like turbulence and Reynolds number come into play here. However, for the most part, it is sufficiently equal across a wide range of different scales. This is because take into account all the variables that impact lift when we scale the problem. A bigger airfoil would produce bigger force at the same air speed, but lift coefficient takes that into account by scaling with the area. Does this help at all? Otherwise, I think the text by Anderson might be helpful here. Otherwise, my video in fluid mechanics on non-dimensional numbers more completely goes over these concepts in a way that is not restricted to aerodynamics.
