Buckingham Pi Theorem 1/5
A fundamental question we must answer is how many dimensionless products are required to replace the original list of variables ?
The answer to this question is supplied by the basic theorem of dimensional analysis that states
If an equation involving k variables is dimensionally homogeneous, it can be reduced to a relationship among k-r independent dimensionless products, where r is the minimum number of reference dimensions required to describe the variables.

Buckingham Pi Theorem 4/5
Where the number r is usually, but not always, equal to the minimum number of independent dimensions required to specify the dimensions of all the parameters. Usually the reference dimensions required to describe the variables will be the basic dimensions M, L, and T or F, L, and T.
The theorem does not predict the functional form of or . The functional relation among the independent dimensionless Π parameters must be determined experimentally.
The k-r dimensionless Π parameters obtained from the procedure are independent.

Buckingham Pi Theorem 5/5
A Π parameter is not independent if it can be obtained from a product or quotient of the other parameters of the problem. For example, if
then neither Π5 nor Π6 is independent of the other dimensionless parameters.

Determination of Pi Terms1/11
Regardless of the method to be used to determine the dimensionless parameters, one begins by listing all dimensional parameters that are known (or believed) to affect the given flow phenomenon.
Do not be afraid to include all the parameters that you feel are important. If the parameter is extraneous, an extra Π parameter may result, but experiments will later show that it may be eliminated from consideration.
Six steps listed below outline a recommended procedure for determining the Π parameter.

Selection of Variables 1/3
One of the most important, and difficult, steps in applying dimensional analysis to any given problem is the selection of the variables that are involved.
There is no simple procedure whereby the variable can be easily identified. Generally, one must rely on a good understanding of the phenomenon involved and the governing physical laws.
If extraneous variables are included, then too many pi terms appear in the final solution, and it may be difficult, time consuming, and expensive to eliminate these experimentally. If important variables are omitted, then an incorrect result will be obtained; and again, this may prove to be costly and difficult to ascertain.
謝志誠
30
Selection of Variables 2/3
Most engineering problems involve certain simplifying assumptions that have an influence on the variables to be considered.
Usually we wish to keep the problems as simple as possible, perhaps even if some accuracy is sacrificed.
A suitable balance between simplicity and accuracy is an desirable goal.~~~~~
Variables can be classified into three general group:
Geometry: lengths and angles.
Material Properties: relate the external effects and the responses.
External Effects: produce, or tend to produce, a change in the system. Such as force, pressure, velocity, or gravity.
16
謝志誠
31
Selection of Variables 3/3
Points should be considered in the selection of variables:
Clearly define the problem. What’s the main variable of interest?
Consider the basic laws that govern the phenomenon.
Start the variable selection process by grouping the variables into three broad classes.
Consider other variables that may not fall into one the three categories. For example, time and time dependent variables.
Be sure to include all quantities that may be held constant (e.g., g).
Make sure that all variables are independent. Look for relationships among subsets of the variables.

Determination of Reference Dimension 1/3
Typically, in fluid mechanics, the required number of reference dimensions is three, but in some problems only one or two are required.
EXAMPLEAn open, cylindrical tank having a diameter D is supported around its bottom circumference and is filled to a depth h with a liquid having a specific weight . The vertical deflection, , of the center of the bottom is a function of D, h, d, , and E

Common Dimensionless Groups
謝志誠
38
Reynolds Number
Discovered by Osborne Reynolds, the British engineer, in the 1880s.
This parameter is a criterion by which the tube flow may be categorized as laminar or turbulent regime.
The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertia forces to viscous forces.
Flows with “large” Reynolds number generally are turbulent. Flows in which the inertia forces are “small” compared with the viscous forces are characteristically laminar flows.

Euler number
This ratio is named after Leonhard Euler, the Swiss mathematician. Euler was the first to recognize the role of pressure in fluid mechanics.
Euler’s number is the ratio of pressure force to inertia forces. It is often called the pressure coefficient, Cp.
謝志誠
40
Cavitation Number
Where p is the pressure in the liquid stream, and pv is the liquid vapor pressure at the test temperature.
The cavitation number is used in the study of cavitation phenomena.
The smaller the cavitation number, the more likely cavitation is to occur.
21
謝志誠
41
Froude Number
Discovered by Froude and this son, Robert Edmund Froude.
Froude number is the ratio of inertia forces to gravity forces.
Froude number is significant for flows with free surface effects.
Froude number less than unity indicate subcritical flow and values greater than unity indicate supercritical flow.

43
Mach Number
Introduced by Ernst Mach, the Austrian physicist, in the 1870s.Mach number is the ratio of inertia forces to forces due to
compressibility, where V is the flow speed and c is the local sonic speed.
Mach number is a key parameter that characterizes compressibility effects in a flow.
For truly incompressible flow, c=∞ so that M=0.

Modeling and Similitude 1/2
Model ? A model is a representation of a physical system that may be used to predict the behavior of the system in some desired respect. Mathematical or computer models may also conform to this definition, our interest will be in physical model.
Prototype? The physical system for which the prediction are to be made.
Models that resemble the prototype but are generally of a different size, may involve different fluid, and often operate under different conditions. Usually a model is smaller than the prototype.
A model test must yield data that can be scaled to obtain the forces, moments, and dynamic loads that would exist on the full-scale prototype.

Theory of Models –EXAMPLE 3 1/5
Example:A long structural component of a bridge has the cross section shown in Figure. It is known that when a steady wind blows past this type of bluff body, vortices may develop on the downwind side that are shed in a regular fashion at some definite frequency. Since these vortices can create harmful periodic forces acting on the structure, it is important to determine the shedding frequency. For the specific structure of interest, D=0.2m, H=0.4m, and a representative wind velocity 50km/hr. Standard air can be assumed. The shedding frequency is to be determined through the use of a small-scale model that is to be tested in a water tunnel. For the model Dm=20mm and the water temperature is 20 .

Validation of Models Design 1/3
Most model studies involve simplifying assumptions with regard to the variables to be considered. Although the number of assumptions is frequently less stringent than that required for mathematical models, they nevertheless introduce some uncertainty in the model design.
It is, therefore, desirable to check the design experimentally whenever possible.Validation of model design ?
In some situation the purpose of model design is to predict the effects of certain proposed changes in a given prototype, and in this instance some actual prototype data may be available.
謝志誠
60
Validation of Models Design 2/3
The model can be designed, constructed, and tested, and the model prediction can be compared with these data. If the agreement is satisfactory, then the model can be changed in the desired manner, and the corresponding effect on the prototype can be predicted with increased confidence.
Another useful and informative procedure is to run tests with a series of models of different sizes, where one of the models can be thought of as the prototype and the others as “models” of this prototype.
31
謝志誠
61
Validation of Models Design 3/3
With the models designed and operated on the basis of the proposed design, a necessary conditions for the validity of the model design is that an accurate prediction be made between any pair of models, since one can always be considered as a model of the other.

Distorted Models 1/6
In many model studies, to achieve dynamic similarity requires duplication of several dimensionless groups.
In some cases, complete dynamic similarity between model and prototype may not be attainable. If one or more of the similarity requirements are not met, for example, if , then it follows that the prediction equation is not true; that is,
MODELS for which one or more of the similarity requirements are not satisfied are called DISTORTED MODELS.

It is impossible in practice for this model/prototype scale of 1/100 to satisfy both the Froude number and Reynolds number criteria; at best we will be able to satisfy only one of them.
If water is the only practical liquid for most model test of free-surface flows, a full-scale test is required to obtain complete dynamic similarity.

The fluid velocity in the model will be larger than that in the prototype for any length scale less than 1.Reynolds number similarity may be difficult to achieve because of the large model velocities required.
A different fluid is used in the model such that 1/m For example, the ratio of the kinematic viscosity of water to that of air is approximately 1/10, so that if the prototype fluid were air, test might be run on the model using water.
How to reduce the fluid velocity in the model ?

This would reduce the required model velocity, but it still may be difficult to achieve the necessary velocity in a suitable test facility.
Other way to reduce the fluid velocity in the model.Same fluid with different density.. m>An alternative way to reduce Vm is to increase the air pressure in the tunnel so that m>. The pressurized tunnels are obviously complicated and expensive.

Flow with a Free Surface 1/4
This type of flow includes flow in canals, rivers, spillways, and stilling basics, as well as flow around ship.
For this class of problems, gravitational ,inertial forces, and surface tension are important and, therefore, the Froude number and Weber number become important similarity parameters needed to be considered along with the Reynolds number.

The working fluid for the prototype is normally either freshwater or seawater and the length scale is small. It is virtually impossible to satisfy , so models involving free-surface flows are usually distorted.

Same fluid cannot be used in model and prototype if we are to have similitude with respect to surface tension effects for .1
Fortunately, in many problems involving free-surface flows, both surface tension and viscous effect are small and consequently strict adherence to Weber and Reynolds number similarity is not required.

Flow with a Free Surface 4/4
Concern would occur if in a model the depths were reduced to the point where surface tension becomes an important factor.
Different horizontal and vertical length scales, which introduce geometric distortion, are often used to eliminate surface tension effects in the model.

Similitude Based on Governing Differential Equations 3/4
From these equations it follows that if two systems are governed by these equations, then the solutions (in terms of u*,v*,p*,x*,y*, and t*) will be the same if the four parameters are equal for the two systems.
The two systems will be dynamically similar. Of course, boundary and initial conditions expressed in dimensionless form must also be equal for the two systems, and this will require complete geometric similarity.
These are the same similarity requirements that would be determined by a dimensional analysis if the same variables were considered. These variables appear naturally in the equations.

Similitude Based on Governing Differential Equations 4/4
All the common dimensionless groups that we previously developed by using dimensional analysis appear in the governing equations that describe fluid motion when these equations are expressed in term of dimensionless variables.
The use of governing equations to obtain similarity laws provides an alternative to conventional dimensional analysis.
