What is Fluid Mechanics?

Fluid dynamics is “the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases”. It involves a wide range of applications such as calculating force & moments, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space, and modelling fission weapon detonation.

What are the Applications of Fluid Dynamics?

Fluid Dynamics can be applied in the following ways: Fluid dynamics is used to calculate the forces acting upon the aeroplane. It is used to find the flow rates of material such as petroleum from pipelines. It can also be used in traffic engineering (traffic treated as continuous liquid flow).

How to Calculate Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer?

Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer calculator uses Shear Force = (Dynamic Viscosity*Contact Area*Velocity of Fluid)/(Distance Between Two Plates) to calculate the Shear Force, The Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer formula is defined as the function of dynamic viscosity, contact area between the plates, fluid velocity and distance between the plates. Fluids for which the rate of deformation is linearly proportional to the shear stress are called Newtonian fluids after Sir Isaac Newton, who expressed it first in 1687. Most common fluids such as water, air, gasoline, and oils are Newtonian fluids. Blood and liquid plastics are examples of non-Newtonian fluids. Shear Force is denoted by F_Shear symbol.
