SolidsFluids
Solids and Fluids
Mechanical and bulk properties of matter; stress and strain
stretching/compression
shear
(=sideways)
volume deformation
Bulk properties are determined by averages
Ex
:
density
Ex
:
pressure
Aside:
How does
an altimeter
work?
Hydrostatics
Ex
: gauge pressure (
water tower
)
Ex
:
buoyant force
(
iceberg
)
Ex
:
floating without water
Ex
:
density determination for a coin
("Eureka!")
Hydrodynamics
Ex
:
blood flow in aorta
Bernoulli's equation
Ex
: a straw atomizer (see this
hint
)
Torricelli's theorem
Ex
:

, 18.08.2009
viscous flow
,
e.g.
velocity distribution in a pipe
Ex
:
an injection
Ex
:
running on water, a hoax or the real thing?
Low Reynolds number
and
onset of turbulence
Ex
:
blood flow through aorta
A white blood cell chasing a bacterium
