Definition of a Fluid
A fluid can be defined in several ways; two useful
definitions are:
1. Fluid is matter that distorts to occupy the shape
of the volume that encloses it
2. Fluid is matter that cannot sustain a shear stress
while remaining at rest.
You cannot drag your finger along without
causing it to flow.
3. Fluid is a substance that continually deforms
(flows) under an applied shear stress.

Pressure
Fluid at a given depth must support
the weight of fluid above it
As depth increases, fluid must
support a greater weight of fluid
above it
Therefore, pressure increases with
depth

Ideal Flow
Errors:
1. The flow does not follow the nozzle geometry
exactly. The flow area at point 2 is therefore
not exactly the same as the pipe area. This
can be corrected for by introducing the
contraction coefficient Cc.

Ideal Flow
Errors:
2. A change in velocity distribution occurs. When the
fluid particles are accelerated from point 1 to point 2,
a different distribution of velocity is obtained at 2. This
can be corrected for by introducing the velocity
coefficient Cv.
