What is a fluid? • Simply put…something that flows. • Liquid • Gas • Granular Material
Bernoulli’s Equation Constant
Bernoulli’s Equation Constant
Aerodynamics WING Constant
How can we model a fluid? Consider: f (P,V,ρ,L,μ) Note: μ is the fluid viscosity (thickness)
Dimensional Analysis Inertial Forces = Viscous Forces
