A Nozzle is the portion of the pipe where the cross-sectional area varies from larger diameter to smaller diameter, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid. A jet is a liquid stream projected into a surrounding medium or an object from the nozzle. In this article, we will discuss the force […]

How to Calculate the Force Exerted by Jet on Stationary Objects?
A Nozzle is the portion of the pipe where the cross-sectional area varies from larger diameter to smaller diameter, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid. A jet is a liquid stream projected into a surrounding medium or an object from the nozzle. In this article, we will discuss […]
Model Laws in Fluid Mechanics | Dimensionless Numbers
In continuation with the previous article, Model Analysis in Fluid Mechanics helps predict the performance of these hydraulic structures or hydraulic machines before actually constructing or manufacturing. Model law helps identify the dynamic similarities between the model and the prototype. Let us discuss more details on different Model Laws in Fluid Dynamics. Dimensional Analysis and Model […]
Model Analysis in Fluid Dynamics
In Fluid Mechanics, Dimensional Analysis and Model Analysis are two important tools to help engineers to build structures or machines which involve hydraulic fluid. Model analysis especially helps predict the performance of these hydraulic structures (such as dams, spillways etc.) or hydraulic machines (such as turbines, pumps etc.), before actually constructing or manufacturing. In the […]
What are the Methods Of Dimensional Analysis?
Dimensional analysis is a method of dimensions. It is a mathematical technique used in research work for design and for conducting model tests. There are two different methods of Dimensional analysis. The first one is Rayleigh’s method and Buckingham’s π-theorem. In this article, let us discuss more details on these methods of Dimensional Analysis. Dimensional […]
Hardy Cross Method Procedure For Pipe Network Analysis
In the previous article, we discussed the Continuity equation, and the rate of flow discharge In Fluid Mechanics, the hardy cross method is used to analyse the Pipe network with help of a continuity equation. Pipe Network A pipe network is an interconnected system of pipes forming several loops or circuits. The pipe network is […]
What causes Water Hammer In Pipes?
In Fluid Mechanics, a Water Hammer is a most seen phenomenon that can occur in any piping system where valves are used to control the flow of liquids or steam. Let us discuss the different causes of Water hammering and the different outcomes of Water Hammering. Water Hammer in Pipes A water hammer is the […]

Energy Losses in Fluid Flow Through Pipe
With Reynold’s experiment, we have discussed the laminar flow and turbulent flow, and how the transition happens from Laminar to turbulent. In fluid flow, we need to understand and study different energy losses. In this article, we will discuss what are the different major and minor energy losses in a fluid flow. Energy Losses in […]
Reynold’s Experiment in Fluid Dynamics
In Fluid Dynamics, Reynold’s number helps us determine the flow type such as laminar or turbulent. In the previous articles, we have already seen how we can find Reynold’s number. This article will discuss how we can determine Reynold’s number by using Reynold’s Experiment. Turbulent Flow The laminar flow has been discussed in the previous […]
