Introduction to fluid mechanics
Abstract
In this section we look at the thrust forces/pressures that are exerted by fluids at rest on immersed flat surfaces of regular shape and the nature of these forces on simple everyday engineering structures like sluice gates, lock gates and vertical separators. We then consider, using examples, the fluid thrust forces that act on immersed curved surfaces. In order to find resultant thrust forces and their point of action on these regular shaped surfaces, we need to remember how to define fluid pressure and know how to find the centroid of area of regular shaped laminae. Therefore, if you have forgotten about fluid pressure or how to find centroids and the second moment of area of regular laminae (flat surfaces of regular thickness), you should look back at section 2.4 and section 12.1, to refresh your memory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
