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 Stress Acting on Fluid Layer?

Shear Stress Acting on Fluid Layer calculator uses Shear Stress = Shear Force/Area to calculate the Shear Stress, The Shear Stress acting on Fluid Layer formula is defined as the ratio of Shear Force per unit area. When an external force acts on an object, It undergoes deformation. If the direction of the force is parallel to the plane of the object. The deformation will be along that plane. The stress experienced by the object here is shear stress or tangential stress. It arises when the force vector components which are parallel to the cross-sectional area of the material. In the case of normal/longitudinal stress, The force vectors will be perpendicular to the cross-sectional area on which it acts. Shear stress arises due to shear forces. They are the pair of forces acting on opposite sides of a body with the same magnitude and opposite direction. Shear stress is a vector quantity. Which means, here the direction is also involved along with magnitude. Shear Stress is denoted by 𝜏 symbol.
