FLOW OF LIQUIDS : fluid mechanics (mechanical engineering)
- Institution
- Massachusetts Institute Of Technology
A fluid at rest experiences no shear force. When in motion, though, shear forces can be set up due to viscosity and ‘turbulence’ which oppose motion, producing a ‘frictional’ effect. A fluid consists of a large number of individual particles moving in the general direction of flow but u...
