Key Topics to Revise
1
Definition and Properties of Fluids
- A fluid is a substance that deforms continuously under applied shear stress, no matter how small
- Fluids include both liquids and gases
- Ideal fluid is incompressible and non-viscous
2
Pressure in Fluids
- Pressure = Force per unit area = F/A
- Pressure increases linearly with depth: p = p₀ + ρgh
- Pascal's Law: Pressure applied to confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions
3
Archimedes' Principle and Buoyancy
- Buoyant force = Weight of displaced fluid = ρ_fluid × V_immersed × g
- For floating objects: Weight = Buoyant force
- Fraction submerged = ρ_object/ρ_fluid
4
Fluid Flow and Continuity Equation
- Steady flow: velocity at any point doesn't change with time
- Continuity equation: A₁v₁ = A₂v₂ = constant
- Volume flow rate = Av = constant
