1.2 Kinematics
Problem 1.2-1 Calculation of material coordinates
for given pathlines
The material description of a flow is given by the motion
™ = &,
m = k&?+&,
t = &
with & as a constant having a dimension, such that the dimensional in-
tegrity of both sides of the above system of equations is preserved.
Show that the Jacobian determinant J = det(x;/@€;) does not vanish
and obtain the inverse f= &(z,t).
Solution
We obtain the necessary derivatives and insert them into the Jacobian
determinant:

J=det| —- = = | =det] 0 1 O]=1.
| G& O& a |
dx, Ar, Oxy 0 0 1
OE; Bes BE2 1 The Concept of Continuum and Kinematics
Since the Jacobian determinant does not vanish, the mappings
== 7(€,t) and € = €(Z,t) are unique inverses of each other. We obtain:
& = %,
fg = t9- kx? ? :
fs = a3.
At the time t = 0, & = 2;.
Problem 1.2-2 Velocity and acceleration in
material and spatial coordinates
with given pathlines
The fluid motion is described by:
my = &, (2)
m= 5 (ts t+&)e" + ; (&-&)e™, (2)

a) Show that the Jacobian determinant does not vanish,
b) Determine the velocity and acceleration components
1) in material coordinates u;(€;,¢), bi(€;, 4),
2) in spatial coordinates u,(z;,¢), b;(z;,t).
Solution

thus different from zero.1.2 Kinematics 3
b) Velocity and acceleration components:
1) The velocity components in material coordinates are calculated from:

u(G 4) = (3), ’
and thus
u = 0, (4)

2) We obtain the spatial description by extracting the material coor-
dinates €; = €;(z;,¢) from equations (1) to (3) and insert them into
uz = uz(é; , t):
uy = ui(Ej(te, 0), t) = wi(ze, t) .

from (2)+ (3) => (62 + £3) e™! = +23, (11)
from (2)-(3) + (@—-G)et=x-25. (12)
It is not necessary to solve for £2 and & because u,(€;, 2) in equations
(4), (5), and (6) contain & and & only in combined form as in (11)1 The Concept of Continuum and Kinematics
and (12). As a result, the velocity field is described by:
wm = 0, (13)
u = $ (22+ 23) ~ 5 (a2~ 2s) = ars, (14)
a a
ug = g (ta + 23) + 5 (22 — 23) =azr. (15)
Similarly, the acceleration field b;(z, ,¢) can be calculated from
(7) — (9) and (10) - (12) and is:

a) Find the equation of the pathline in an implicit form and show that for

b) Calculate the components of the velocity u;(£;,¢) and the acceleration
5;(€;,t).
c) Determine the velocity field uj(z,,#) and the acceleration field
bi(xp, t).
d) Explain the equation of the streamline through the point (x19, 20).
Solution
a) The pathlines are in the plane z3 = £3, We obtain their implicit form
by squaring and adding the equations for 2, and 2

The fluid particles £ = const. describe circles around the z3-axis in

e) Find the equation for the streaklines.10 1 The Concept of Continuum and Kinematics
Solution
a) The streamline through the point (19, t29, £39) at an arbitrarily fixed
time t:
The streamlines are the solutions of the differential equations

Instead of using the arc length s, it is appropriate to introduce the
parameter 7
ds = ,fupu, dy , n(s =0)=0,
and to rearrange the differential equation to
dz;
—— =u;(z;,t) , t=const,
dy
The components are:
da, ry dz dry
dy ott ay
Integrating the above differential equations results in:
Int, = rag tines > a =Cyeor |
Zz = uy+ Co,
zz = C3.
The streamline is in the plane r3 = Cs, thus the field is plane. The
above three integration constants are determined using the condition
that the streamline goes through the point (19, t20, Tao). Measuring 7
from the point (219, T29, Z39) we have
n=0: a =2, C2=%99, Te= Fa.
Thus, the constants read:
Ch=2, Cr=29, Cs3=220.
The parametric solution is obtained as
Tp = zype/lor4 , (1)

In (1) to (3), 7 is the curve parameter and 219, 229, and Zao are the
family parameters. The explicit representation of the streamline in the
plane z3 = 239 can be found by eliminating the curve parameter. From

we are dealing with an unsteady

This pathline has to be tangent to
the streamline at time t = 0 and
the space point (x19, t29, T30). The

Since the velocity components are constant, the pathline is again seen
to be a straight line.
d) For a fluid particle with the material coordinates £, = 0 and £5 = 0 we
obtain the velocity components

The above equations indicate that the fluid particle moves along the
@2-axis at constant speed.
e) Streaklines:
A streakline at a fixed time ¢ is the connecting line or the locus of dif-
ferent fluid particles, which have or will pass through a fixed location #
at time ¢’. The pathlines of the particles are given by # = 2(£,t). Solv-
ing these equations for = &(Z,t) and replacing @ by the coordinates
of the fixed location y, and setting t = 2’, we locate the fluid particles
é that were passing through the fixed location 7 at time t’. The equa-
tion assumes the form € = €(7,t'). The pathlines of these particles are
# = 2(E(G,t'),t). Thus, at the fixed time ¢ und variable ¢’ we obtain the
streakline as a curve, which connects the fluid particles having passed
through the fixed spatial location # at time t'. For this problem, all fluid
particles remain in the plane z3 = €. Inserting the coordinates 2, = 4
and 2 = y in the pathline equations (4), (5) expressed in parametric
form, we obtain the material coordinates of the fluid particles which
passed through the above location at time t = t’:

1 The Concept of Continuum and Kinematics
The strain rate 1/dsD(ds)/Dt corresponds to the component of the
velocity difference dif between both ends of the line element in direction
of the element itself, divided by the length of the element ds. Since
ug = uy = 0, the velocity difference dif has also only a x,-component.
It is
d
dy = uy(22 + ds) — uy(20) = i= eas. (1)
The component in direction of the element dz and thus the strain rate
of dz is zero.
For the element dz’, because of u, = u;(r2) we may write
dui = u(z2) — u(r.) =0, (2)
i.e. the strain rate is zero.
Angular velocities of the elements:
The angular velocity of a line element Dy/D¢ is calculated using the
component of the velocity difference normal to the line element divided
by the length of the element.
For dz considering (1) we obtain

The three roots of the third order polynomial can be calculated using
appropriate solution methods such as Newton’s.

Using the above eigenvalues, the eigenvectors are calculated from the
system of linear equations (ej; — e4j;)[; = 0. Since the determinant
of this system of equations disappears, only two equations are linearly
independent. A unique solution results from normalizing:
G+b+8=1.
A simpler alternative is to calculate first the vector t, which is not
normalized and perform the normalization later. We delete the third
equation and set instead & = 1. We obtain the first eigenvector from

using the Cramer's rule:
i, = 0.07406, = ~0.5719.
Thus the vector components of the non normalized eigenvector are

Normalizing the above components leads to
M= 0.067, M= -0.4950, = 0.8665.
The components of the second and third eigenvectors can be calculated
in a similar way. For the second eigenvector we insert ¢ = e) = 3.741,
which results in
79558, i@=0.702, i= 0.442 .
The third eigenvector may be calculated the same way. It is worth

Separating the variables and integrating the above equation furnishes
the pathline equation with C’ as an integration constant:

However, it changes from one pathline to
another, because the constant C is differ- x,

Fluid with constant velocity U. and density 9 flows past an infinitely

We choose a control volume with a control surface that encloses the body

died out sufficiently so that pressure differences to the undisturbed pres-

The integral on the right hand side is decomposed into a surface integral
along A, B, C, D, both sides of the slot, and one along the body surface

of the opposite direction of the normal unit vectors.
According to the previous assumption, on A, B, C, D is f= —pofl and we
can write
[fas = [[-mias + Jffas.

The integral over A, B, C, D disappears, because no resultant force is
acting on the closed surface, if fis the result of a constant pressure. The
second integral is the force by the body on the fluid inside the control

Note: Frequently, it is appropriate to choose the control volume in such a

cumvented by assuming that the transition between the fluid and the solid
body is smooth but occurs with large gradients. As an alternative, one can
place the control volume inside the pipe; the angular momentum on the
wetted surface is the requested Mp).p.

Problem 2.4-2 Velocity of a moving container with
a nozzle
plate
A cart with a nozzle
contains fluid of con-
stant density. Its to-
tal mass at ¢ = 0 is
mo. A slow motion of a
heavy plate generates
a constant mass flux
m through the nozzle
with an exit velocity
wW, relative to the con-
tainer. The flow in the
relative systern is steady. We assume that air drag and contact friction are
negligible. Calculate the velocity v(t) of the cart.

First. Solution
The equation of motion for the container is
with mg as the mass of the container without fluid and /, the force com-
ponent in direction of container motion.2.4 Momentum and Angular Momentum in an Accelerating Frame 101
The force F acting on-
ly on the container is
calculated by integrat-
ing the stress vector
over the entire control
surface
Neglecting the air drag,
we set the stress vector /= —po rt on S, and obtain
TdS = |] —piidS = —poi dS — ff —pids.

Since S,+ Ap is a closed surface, the first integral is equal to zero, therefore

The force component in direction of the container motion (negative in
z-direction) is calculated from (1)

The integral on the right hand side represents the fluid force that acts on
the container.
The integral in (2) is car-
ried out by applying the
balance of momentum in
integral form on the flu-
id in the container. We
use the sketched accelerat-
ed frame.
The momentum equation

At the wall Sw the product w+7 and thus the integral will disappear.
The first integral on the right hand side represents the force by the con-
tainer exerted on the fluid. To obtain the reaction force, the sign needs to
be changed. On the surfaces Sy + Ap, the normal unit vectors show an
outward orientation, whereas on the surface S; they are oriented inwardly.
Therefore, we have
[[uas= [- ds.

This expression corresponds to the required integral in (2). On A, the flow
is uniform, i. e. ! = —pi. Furthermore, the jet pressure is equal to the
ambient pressure po, consequently:

thus, also Ow,/0t = 0. At the exit nozzle the velocity w, is large but there
