  1. Garden Watering

  2. Question: Water pours weakly from an open hose but sprays hard when you cover most of the end with your thumb. When is more water coming out of the hose? • When the hose end is uncovered • When your thumb covers most of the end

  3. Observations AboutGarden Watering • Faucets allow you to control water flow • Faucets make noise when open • Longer, thinner hoses deliver less water • Water sprays faster from a nozzle • Water only sprays so high • A jet of water can push things over

  4. Faucets:Limiting Flow • Pressure limits water’s total energy • Total energy limits maximum kinetic energy • Kinetic energy limits maximum speed • Water has viscosity (friction in the fluid) • Water at the walls is stationary • All water slows due to viscous forces

  5. Viscous Forces • Oppose relative motion within a fluid • Similar to sliding friction – waste energy • Fluids are characterized by viscosities

  6. Hoses: Limiting Flow • Water flow through a hose: • Increases as 1/viscosity • Increases as 1/hose length • Increases as pressure difference • Increases as (pipe diameter)4 • Poiseuille’s law:

  7. Water Flow in a Hose • Viscous drag wastes water’s energy • Viscous drag increases with flow speed • Faster flow leads to more viscous energy loss • Faster flow causes quicker drop in pressure

  8. Question: Water pours weakly from an open hose but sprays hard when you cover most of the end with your thumb. When is more water coming out of the hose? • When the hose end is uncovered • When your thumb covers most of the end

  9. Accelerating Flows • Water in steady-state flow can accelerate • Acceleration must be partly to the side • Forward acceleration would expand water • Backward acceleration would compress water • Sideways acceleration • requires obstacles • causes pressure imbalances • causes speed changes

  10. Outward Bend • Deflecting water away from a surface • involves acceleration away from the surface • is caused by an outward pressure gradient • higher pressure near surface • lower pressure away from surface • causes water to travelslower near the surface

  11. Outward Bend

  12. Inward Bend • Deflecting water toward a surface • involves acceleration toward surface • is caused by inward pressure gradient • lower pressure near surface • higher pressure away from surface • causes water to travelfaster near the surface

  13. Inward Bend

  14. Nozzles: Speeding Water Up • Water passing through a narrowing • speeds up • experiences pressure drop • Water passing througha widening • slows down • experiences a rise in pressure

  15. Nozzles

  16. Types of Flow • Laminar Flow • Nearby regions of water remain nearby • Viscosity dominates flow • Turbulent Flow • Nearby regions of water become separated • Inertia dominates flow

  17. Reynolds Number • Reynolds number controls type of flow • Below about 2300 : Laminar flow • Viscosity dominates • Above about 2300 : Turbulent flow • Inertia dominates

  18. Water and Momentum • Water carries momentum • Momentum is transferred by impulses:impulse = pressure imbalance · surface area · time • Large transfers: long times, large surface areas, or large pressure imbalances • Moving water can be hard to stop

  19. Summary AboutGarden Watering • Total energy limits speed, height, pressure • Nozzles exchange pressure for speed • Viscosity wastes energy of water • Turbulence wastes energy of water • Moving water has momentum, too
