\u00a0<\/span>Many fluids are flowing in this scene shown below.\u00a0 \u00a0Water from the hose and smoke from the fire are visible flows. Less visible are the flow of air and the flow of fluids on the ground and within the people fighting the fire. Explore all types of flow, such as visible, implied, turbulent, laminar, and so on, present in this scene. Make a list and discuss the relative energies involved in the various flows, including the level of confidence in your estimates.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

We have dealt with many situations in which fluids are static. But by their very definition, fluids flow. Examples come easily\u2014a column of smoke rises from a camp fire, water streams from a fire hose, blood courses through your veins. Why does rising smoke curl and twist? How does a nozzle increase the speed of water emerging from a hose? How does the body regulate blood flow? The physics of fluids in motion\u2014fluid dynamics<\/span>\u2014allows us to answer these and many other questions.<\/div>\r\n
