Kinematics
There are two methods for studying fluid motion.
Lagrangian Method: Study the individual time-rate of change i.e. given
initial position of a particleP0 (x0 , y0 , z0 ) at t = t0 , find out P (x, y, z) at any
time t. However, the fundamental equations are non-linear and difficult
to solve in most cases.
x = f1 (x0 , y0 , z0 , t) y = f2 (x0 , y0 , z0 , t) z = f3 (x0 , y0 , z0 , t)
Eulerian Method: Study the local time-rate of change i.e. select any
fixed point in space and study the fluid as it passes through that point.
u = F1 (x, y, z, t) v = F2 (x, y, z, t) z = F3 (x, y, z, t)

Streamlines
Streamline is a curve such that the tangent at any point is in the direction of
the velocity of fluid at that point. By definition, for a streamline, q dr = 0.

Velocity Potential
is the velocity potential of a fluid flow if it satisfies
q =
(Velocity Potential)
The sign is to ensure that flow takes place from higher to lower potential.
The necessary and sufficient condition for velocity potential to exist is that
q = 0. If such exists, the flow is known as irrotational.
The surfaces = constant are called equipotentials and they intersect the
streamlines orthogonally.
For an incompressible, irrotational fluid, the equation of continuity demands
that is a harmonic function
2 = 0
Vorticity
=q
(Vorticity Vector)
Like stream lines, a vortex line is a curve such that the tangent to it at any
point is in the direction of the vorticity vetor i.e dr = 0.
A flow where is not zero everywhere is said to be rotational or vortex
motion.
The rotation or angular velocity vector of a fluid element, satisfies

Write down the equation of continuity as f (r)v = f (r0 )v0 = F (t) where
r0 , v0 are parameters for a known point.
For spherical symmetry, it is r2 v = F (t). For cylindrical symmetry, it is
rv = F (t).
Differentiate it to obtain

Impulsive Action
Generated due to sudden velocity changes at the boundary or impulsive forces
being made to act on the interior. The impulsive pressure is same in every
direction and propagates instantaneously through the fluid.

Energy Equation
The rate of change of total energy(kinetic,potential,intrinsic) of any
portion of a compressible inviscid fluid is equal to the rate at which
work is being done by the pressure on the boundary, provided the
the potential due to extraneous forces is time-invariant.

A fluid is said to have 2-dimensional motion if, at any given instant, the flow
pattern in a certain plane is the same as that in all other parallel planes within

Complex Potential
In 2D, the flow across any small curve surrounding the source is 2m. So, if qr
is the radial velocity and the source is taken as the origin, 2rqr = 2m. This
gives = m log r, = m
In general, for a source of stength m situated at z = z1 is

Images
If in a liquid, a surface S can be drawn across which there is no flow,
then any system of sources, sinks and doublets on the opposite side
of the surface are known as the image of the system with regard to
the surface
If the surface S is treated as a rigid boundary and all the liquid removed
from one side of it, the motion on the other side will remain unchanged. Since
there is no flow across it, S must be a streamline.
The image of a source or a doublet with respect to a line(in 2D) is its mirror
image with respect to the line.
Conformal Mapping
Consider two complex variables, z = x + iy, = + i such that there exists a
mapping of the zplane into the plane, = f (z). The necessary condition for
d
must exist independent of the direction
existence of such a mapping is that dz
of z.
Suppose f maps neighbouring points P, P1 , P2 in the zplane to Q, Q1 , Q2
in the plane. Then, Q1 QQ2 = P1 P P2 i.e. a conformal mapping preserves
angles.
