1. INTRODUCTION
Newton's Law of Viscosity
For straight & parallel motion of a given fluid, the shear stress
between two adjacent layers is proportional to the velocity
gradient in a direction perpendicular to the layers

Classification of Fluids
Based on Density
Compressible
o Variation of density is significant during the flow
Incompressible
o Density variation is negligible during the flow
Based on Viscosity
Invicid fluids (non-viscous, i.e. = 0 )
o An Imaginary fluid
o but some real flow cases can also be approximated
Viscous fluids (real fluids)
o Newtonian Fluids
o Non-Newtonian Fluids (Clay, Paints, Plastics)

1. INTRODUCTION
Behavior of Real Fluids
Laminar
Flow particles move on layers, without disturbing adjacent layers
No mixing between layers
Turbulent
Fluid particles move in disorderly manner with continuous
rapid mixing with adjacent fluid particles
