GATE 2024 Fluid Mechanics Syllabus

Section 1: Flow and Fluid Properties

viscosity, the relationship between stress and strain rate for Newtonian fluids, incompressible and compressible flows, and differences between laminar and turbulent flows. Hydrostatics: Buoyancy, manometry, forces on submerged bodies.

Section 2: Kinematics

Eulerian and Lagrangian description of fluids motion, the local and convective accelerations concept, and steady and unsteady flows.

Section 3: Integral analysis

Control volume analysis for mass, momentum, and energy.

Section 4: Differential Analysis

Differential equations of mass and momentum for incompressible flows: inviscid – Euler equation and viscous flows – Navier-Stokes equations, the concept of fluid rotation, vorticity, stream function, Exact solutions of Navier-Stokes equation for Couette Flow and Poiseuille flow.

Section 5: Inviscid Flows

Bernoulli’s equation – assumptions and applications, potential function, Elementary plane flows – uniform flow, source, sink and doublet, and their superposition for potential flow past simple geometries.

Section 6: Dimensional analysis

The concept of geometric, kinematic, and dynamic similarity, some standard non-dimensional parameters, and their physical significance: Reynolds number, Froude number, and Mach number.

Section 7: Internal Flows

Fully developed pipe flow, empirical relations for laminar and turbulent flows: friction factor, and Darcy-Weisbach relation.

Section 8: Prandtl Boundary Layer Equations

Concept and assumptions, the qualitative idea of boundary layer and separation, streamlined and bluff bodies, drag and lift forces. Flow measurements: Basic ideas of flow measurement using a venturi meter, pitot-static tube, an orifice plate.
