Fluids

Deform more easily than solids

Have no preferred shape

Deformation, or motion, is produced by a shear stress

μ = molecular dynamic viscosity [Pa·s = kg/(m·s)]

Continuum Approximation

Even though matter is made of discrete particles, we can assume that matter is distributed continuously.

This is because distance between molecules << scales of variation

tx,

ψ (any property) varies continuously as a function of space and time

space and time are the independent variables

In the Continuum description, need to allow for relevant molecular processes – Diffusive Fluxes

Diffusive Fluxes

e.g. Fourier Heat Conduction law:

t = 0

t = 1

t = 2

Continuum representation of molecular interactions

This is for a scalar (heat flux – a vector itself)

but it also applies to a vector (momentum flux)

Shear stress has units of kg m-1 s-1 m s-1 m-1 = kg m-1 s-2

Shear stress is proportional to the rate of shear normal to which the stress is exerted zu

at molecular scales

µ is the molecular dynamic viscosity = 10-3 kg m-1 s-1 for water is a property of the fluid

or force per unit area or pressure: kg m s-2 m-2 = kg m-1 s-2
