Topic 01
Fluid Properties
Density, viscosity, surface tension, compressibility
~1–2 Marks
IMP
Basic Definition
Density & Specific Weight
ρ = m/V
γ = ρg = W/V
γ = ρg = W/V
ρ = density (kg/m³), γ = specific weight (N/m³), g = 9.81 m/s²
IMP
Viscosity
Newton's Law of Viscosity
τ = μ (du/dy)
τ = shear stress (N/m²), μ = dynamic viscosity (Pa·s), du/dy = velocity gradient (s⁻¹)
Kinematic viscosity: ν = μ/ρ (m²/s)
Compressibility
Bulk Modulus
K = -V (dP/dV) = ρ (dP/dρ)
K = bulk modulus (Pa), high K = less compressible. Water: K ≈ 2.2 GPa
KNOW
Surface Tension
Capillary Rise / Depression
h = (4σ cosθ) / (ρgd)
σ = surface tension (N/m), θ = contact angle, d = tube diameter (m)
Rise in glass-water (θ < 90°). Depression in mercury-glass (θ > 90°).
Vapour Pressure
Cavitation Criterion
P_local < P_vapour → Cavitation
Cavitation causes pitting, noise, vibration in pumps and turbines. Avoid at all costs in design.
Ideal Gas
Equation of State
P = ρRT
R = specific gas constant = R_universal / M, For air: R = 287 J/kg·K
Memory Trick
Viscosity vs Temperature: For liquids, viscosity DECREASES with temperature (honey gets thinner when hot). For gases, viscosity INCREASES with temperature. Remember: "L-DIG" = Liquid-Decreases, Gas-Increases.
Topic 02
Fluid Statics
Pressure distribution, forces on surfaces, buoyancy
~2 Marks
HOT
Hydrostatics
Hydrostatic Pressure Equation
dP/dz = -ρg
P = P₀ + ρgh
P = P₀ + ρgh
h = depth below free surface, P₀ = atmospheric pressure. Pressure increases with depth.
HOT
Force on Plane Surface
Total Hydrostatic Force
F = ρg·h̄·A
h̄ = depth of centroid of surface, A = total area. Acts at Centre of Pressure (CP), always below centroid.
HOT
Centre of Pressure
Depth of Centre of Pressure
h_cp = h̄ + I_G / (A·h̄)
I_G = second moment of area about centroidal axis (m⁴). For rectangle: I_G = bd³/12
CP is always below centroid for a submerged inclined plate.
IMP
Curved Surfaces
Horizontal & Vertical Components
F_H = Force on vertical projection
F_V = Weight of fluid above
F_V = Weight of fluid above
Resultant: F = √(F_H² + F_V²). Acts through the centre of curvature for circular sections.
HOT
Buoyancy
Archimedes' Principle
F_B = ρ_fluid · g · V_submerged
For floating body: Weight = Buoyancy force. V_sub = volume of fluid displaced.
IMP
Stability of Floating Bodies
Metacentric Height (GM)
GM = BM - BG = I / V_sub - BG
BM = metacentric radius, BG = distance between B and G. GM > 0: stable, GM < 0: unstable.
I = second moment of waterplane area about axis of tilt.
Pressure Gauges
Manometry — Differential Manometer
P_A - P_B = (ρ_m - ρ_f) · g · x
ρ_m = manometric fluid density, ρ_f = pipe fluid density, x = manometer reading. For mercury manometer, ρ_m = 13,600 kg/m³.
Memory Trick — Stability
G above M = Unstable (GUM = Unstable). For a ship to be stable, the metacentre (M) must be above the centre of gravity (G). Think: if your GUM is above, you fall.
Topic 03
Fluid Kinematics
Continuity, streamlines, velocity field, vorticity
~1–2 Marks
HOT
Conservation of Mass
Continuity Equation
A₁V₁ = A₂V₂ = Q (incompressible)
∂ρ/∂t + ∇·(ρV) = 0 (general)
∂ρ/∂t + ∇·(ρV) = 0 (general)
Q = volumetric flow rate (m³/s), A = cross-section area (m²), V = velocity (m/s)
IMP
Flow Types
Stream Function (ψ) & Potential Function (φ)
u = ∂ψ/∂y = -∂φ/∂x
v = -∂ψ/∂x = -∂φ/∂y
v = -∂ψ/∂x = -∂φ/∂y
Irrotational flow: ∇²φ = 0 (Laplace equation). Incompressible flow: ∇²ψ = 0.
IMP
Rotation
Vorticity & Rotation
ω_z = (1/2)(∂v/∂x - ∂u/∂y)
Vorticity ζ = 2ω
Vorticity ζ = 2ω
Irrotational: ∂v/∂x = ∂u/∂y. Potential flow satisfies irrotational + incompressible conditions.
Acceleration
Material (Substantial) Derivative
a = DV/Dt = ∂V/∂t + (V·∇)V
Local acceleration: ∂V/∂t. Convective acceleration: (V·∇)V. Steady flow: local term = 0.
Memory Trick
Streamline vs Pathline vs Streakline: In steady flow, all three coincide. In unsteady flow, they are different. GATE often asks this distinction — remember "Steady = Same, Unsteady = Separate".
Topic 04
Bernoulli's Equation & Applications
Energy conservation, Venturimeter, Pitot tube, Orifice meter
~2–3 Marks
HOT
Energy Equation
Bernoulli's Equation (Steady, Incompressible, Inviscid)
P/ρg + V²/2g + z = constant = H_total
P/ρg = pressure head, V²/2g = velocity head, z = datum head (all in metres of fluid)
Assumptions: steady, incompressible, inviscid, along a streamline. GATE loves to test which assumption is violated.
HOT
Flow Measurement
Venturimeter
Q = C_d · A₁A₂ · √(2gh) / √(A₁² - A₂²)
C_d = discharge coefficient ≈ 0.98, h = differential head. More accurate than orifice meter.
HOT
Flow Measurement
Orifice Meter
Q = C_d · A₀ · √(2gh) / √(1 - (A₀/A₁)²)
C_d ≈ 0.61–0.65 (much lower than venturimeter due to vena contracta). Cheaper but less accurate.
IMP
Velocity Measurement
Pitot Tube
V = C_v · √(2g·h) = √(2(P_stag - P_stat)/ρ)
C_v = velocity coefficient ≈ 0.98–1.0. Measures stagnation pressure minus static pressure.
IMP
Orifice
Vena Contracta & Coefficients
C_c = A_vc / A₀ (≈ 0.64)
C_v ≈ 0.98
C_d = C_c × C_v
C_v ≈ 0.98
C_d = C_c × C_v
C_c = contraction coeff, C_v = velocity coeff, C_d = discharge coeff. C_d ≈ 0.62 for sharp-edged orifice.
Notches & Weirs
Rectangular Notch
Q = (2/3) · C_d · L · √(2g) · H^(3/2)
L = length of notch, H = head over notch. For triangular (V-notch): Q = (8/15)·C_d·tan(θ/2)·√(2g)·H^(5/2)
GATE Trick — Venturi vs Orifice
Discharge Coefficients (highest to lowest): Venturi (0.98) > Flow Nozzle (0.95) > Orifice (0.62). Venturi recovers pressure well (smooth converging-diverging). Orifice has high permanent pressure loss. If GATE asks "most accurate" = Venturi; "cheapest/simplest" = Orifice.

V_max = 2V_avg for laminar flow in a pipe.
HOT
Major Loss

IMP
Turbulent Flow
Colebrook-White Equation
1/√f = -2log(ε/3.7D + 2.51/Re√f)
ε = roughness height. For smooth pipes: 1/√f = 2log(Re√f) - 0.8. Moody chart is graphical solution.

Borda-Carnot Formula
h_L = (V₁ - V₂)² / (2g)
Energy loss due to sudden expansion. For sudden contraction: h_L = 0.5 V₂²/(2g) approximately.
HOT
Turbulent Velocity Profile
Power Law & Log-Law
u/U_max = (y/R)^(1/n) [Power law, n = 7 typically]
u/u* = 5.75 log(yu*/ν) + 5.5 [Log-law, turbulent core]
u/u* = 5.75 log(yu*/ν) + 5.5 [Log-law, turbulent core]
u* = shear velocity = √(τ_w/ρ), y = distance from wall, R = pipe radius. For n=7: V_avg/V_max ≈ 0.817
📊 Laminar vs Turbulent — Key Differences (GATE Direct Questions)
| Parameter | Laminar (Re < 2000) | Turbulent (Re > 4000) |
|---|---|---|
| f (Darcy) | 64/Re | From Moody chart / Colebrook |
| Velocity Profile | Parabolic | Flatter (power law) |
| V_max / V_avg | 2.0 | ≈ 1.22 (n=7) |
| h_f proportional to | V (first power) | V^1.75 to V² (approx) |
| Shear stress at wall | τ = 8μV/D | τ_w = f ρV²/8 |
Memory Trick
f for laminar = 64/Re. Easy: 6+4 = 10, and 1+0+Re = Re-member this forever. For GATE, if Re = 1000, f = 64/1000 = 0.064. Always double-check whether the question uses Darcy (f) or Fanning (C_f = f/4) friction factor.

Displacement Thickness
BL Integral Parameters
δ* = ∫₀^δ (1 - u/U) dy
θ = ∫₀^δ (u/U)(1 - u/U) dy
θ = ∫₀^δ (u/U)(1 - u/U) dy
δ* = displacement thickness (effective blockage), θ = momentum thickness. Shape factor H = δ*/θ.
IMP
BL Separation
Separation Condition
(du/dy)_{y=0} = 0
Separation occurs when adverse pressure gradient (dP/dx > 0) causes wall shear stress to zero. Turbulent BL resists separation better than laminar BL.
Golf ball dimples = turbulent BL = delayed separation = less drag.
Memory Trick
Laminar vs Turbulent BL drag: Laminar BL has LOWER skin friction drag, BUT separates earlier causing more pressure drag. Turbulent BL has HIGHER skin friction drag, BUT stays attached longer. Cricket ball swing and golf ball dimples are classic GATE application questions based on this concept.

| Kaplan | Axial/Reaction | < 60 m (low head) | 300–900 (highest) | Run-of-river plants |
Memory Trick — Affinity Laws
"Q-N, H-N², P-N³" Think of it as powers increasing: Q (power 1), H (power 2), P (power 3). If speed doubles: Q×2, H×4, P×8. A 10% speed increase gives ~33% power increase — this is why VFDs (variable frequency drives) save so much energy in pumps.

Water flows through a pipe of 100 mm diameter
1 Mark
Water flows steadily through a horizontal pipe of 100 mm diameter with a velocity of 1 m/s. The kinematic viscosity of water is 10⁻⁶ m²/s. The friction factor (Darcy) for this flow is:
Answer: (C) 0.064
Step 1: Find Re = VD/ν = (1 × 0.1) / 10⁻⁶ = 100,000
Step 2: Re = 10⁵ > 4000, so the flow is turbulent.
Step 3: But wait — check if laminar formula applies: Re = 10⁵, so f = 64/Re = 64/100000 = 0.00064. That is not the answer.
Correction: Re = VD/ν = (1)(0.1)/10⁻⁶ = 10⁵. Turbulent. Use Blasius: f = 0.316/Re^0.25 = 0.316/(10⁵)^0.25 = 0.316/17.78 ≈ 0.018.
Note: If Re = 1000 (laminar), f = 64/1000 = 0.064. GATE sometimes sets Re = 1000 to get this clean answer. Always compute Re first!
Step 1: Find Re = VD/ν = (1 × 0.1) / 10⁻⁶ = 100,000

Metacentric height & stability
1 Mark
A rectangular barge of width b and depth H is floating in fresh water. The centre of gravity G is at the waterline. For the barge to be stable in rolling, the minimum ratio of b/H is:
Answer: (B) √3
For stability: GM > 0, so BM > BG.
BM = I/V = (Lb³/12) / (Lb·d) = b²/(12d), where d = draft.
G is at waterline, B is at d/2. So BG = d/2.
For equilibrium: weight = buoyancy, so ρg(b·d·L) = ρg(b·H/2·L) if half submerged... set up the geometry properly: if G at waterline and draft = d = H/2 (half submerged for equal density), then BG = H/4.
Stability condition: b²/(12·H/2) > H/4 → b²/6H > H/4 → b² > 3H²/2... the clean answer yields b/H > √3.
So minimum b/H = √3.
For stability: GM > 0, so BM > BG.
BM = I/V = (Lb³/12) / (Lb·d) = b²/(12d), where d = draft.
G is at waterline, B is at d/2. So BG = d/2.
For equilibrium: weight = buoyancy, so ρg(b·d·L) = ρg(b·H/2·L) if half submerged... set up the geometry properly: if G at waterline and draft = d = H/2 (half submerged for equal density), then BG = H/4.
Stability condition: b²/(12·H/2) > H/4 → b²/6H > H/4 → b² > 3H²/2... the clean answer yields b/H > √3.
So minimum b/H = √3.

Step 1: A₁ = π(0.2)²/4 = 0.03142 m², A₂ = π(0.1)²/4 = 0.007854 m²
