Fluid Dynamics The study of fluids in motion is called hydrodynamics.
The pressure exerted by a liquid in motion depends on the nature of the flow itself.
A progressive decrease in fluid pressure occurs as the fluid flows through a tube due to resistance.

Patterns of Flow Patterns of flow
Laminar flowfluid moving in discrete cylindrical layers or streamlinesPoiseuille’s lawpredicts pressure
required to produce given flow using ΔP = 8nl V./ πr4
Conditions that cause laminar flow to become turbulent1. High linear gas velocity2. High gas density3. Low gas viscosity4. Large tube diameter
Patterns of flow Turbulent flowloss of regular
streamlines; fluid molecules form irregular eddy currents in chaotic pattern.Predicted by using Reynold`s number
(NR)NR = v d2r / h

Poiseuille’s Law(only applies to laminar flow) Flow of fluid through a tube:
Driving pressure Resistance
ViscosityLength of the tubeRadius of the tube
9
Poiseuille’s Law1. The more viscous the fluid the more
pressure is required to cause it to move through a given tube
10
Poiseuille’s Law2. Resistance to flow is directly proportional
to the length of the tube
If the length of a tube is increased four times, the driving pressure to maintain a given flow must be increased four times
11
Poiseuille’s Law3. Resistance to flow is inversely
proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the tube
If the inside diameter of the tube is decreased by one half, the driving pressure must be increased 16 times to maintain original flow

15
Law of ContinuityThe speed of flow in a closed system will be inversely proportional to the area of the tubes through which it flows
16
Law of Continuity
If the area of flow is decreased, then the velocity must increase
If the area of flow in increased, then the velocity must decrease

The Bernoulli EffectAs the speed of the fluid increases, the pressure in a fluid decreases

Venturi Principle of Fluid Entrainment
If the increase in velocity at a constriction is so great that is causes the pressure of the fluid to fall below atmospheric (becoming negative) it can pull another fluid into the primary flow

Fluid Dynamics
Fluidics and the Coanda effect Fluidics is a branch of engineering that
applies hydrodynamics principles in flow circuits.
The Coanda effect (wall attachment) is observed when fluid flows through a small orifice with properly contoured downstream surfaces.

AdvantagesOperate without moving parts, minimizing maintenance expenses
Generally cost less than electronic counterparts
Don’t break down as often as their electronic counterparts
30
DisadvantagesNot easily interfaced with microprocessors
Not as accurate as their electrical counterparts
Difficult to measure tidal volume because tidal volume exits with source gas
