A fluid particle while moving may undergo anyone or combination of following four types of
displacements :
(®) Linear Translation or Pure Translation,
(ii) Linear Deformation,
(iii) Angular Deformation, and
(iv) Rotation.
5.9.1 Linear Translation. It is defined as the movement of a fluid element in such a way that it
moves bodily from one position to another position and the two axes ab and cd represented in new
positions by a’b and c’d” are parallel as shown in Fig. 5.11 (a)
5.9.2 Linear Deformation. It is defined as the deformation of a fluid element in linear direction
when the element moves. The axes of the clement in the deformed position and un-deformed position
are parallel, but their lengths change as shown in Fig. 5.11 (2).

‘Vortex flow is defined as the flow of a fluid along a curved path or the flow of a rotating mass of
fluid is known a ‘Vortex Flow’. The vortex flow is of two types namely :
1, Forced vortex flow, and
2. Free vortex flow.
5.10.1 Forced Vortex Flow. Forced vortex flow is defined as that type of vortex flow, in
which some external torque is required to rotate the fluid mass. The fluid mass in this type of flow,
rotates at constant angular velocity, «. The tangential velocity of any fluid particle is given by
veoxr (5.18)[194 Fluid Mechanics ]
where r= Radius of fluid particle from the axis of rotation.

Constant. (5.19)
Examples of forced vortex are :
1. A vertical cylinder containing liquid which is rotated about its central axis with a constant
angular velocity (as shown in Fig. 5.12.
2. Flow of liquid inside the impeller of a centrifugal pump.
3. Flow of water through the runner of a turbine.
5.10.2 Free Vortex Flow. When no external torque is required to rotate the fluid mass, that
type of flow is called free vortex flow. Thus the liquid in case of free vortex is rotating due to the
rotation which is imparted to the fluid previously.
Examples of the free vortex flow are :
1. Flow of liquid through a hole provided at the bottom of a container.
2. Flow of liquid around a citcular bend in a pipe.
3. A whirlpool in a river.
4, Flow of fluid in a centrifugal pump casing.
‘The relation between velocity and radius, in free vortex is obtained by putting the value of external
torque equal to zero, or, the time rate of change of angular momentum, i.e., moment of momentum
must be zero. Consider a fluid particle of mass ‘m’ at a radial distance r from the axis of rotation,
hhaving a tangential velocity v. Then
‘Angular momentum = Mass x Velocity =m xv

Problem 5.25 For the problem (5.24), find the difference in total pressure force (i) at the bottom
of cylinder, and (ii) at the sides of the cylinder due to rotation.[ Kinematics of Flow and Ideal Flow _201|
Solution. (i) The data is given in Problem 5.24. The difference in total pressure force at the
bottom of cylinder is obtained by finding total hydrostatic force at the bottom before rotation and after
rotation.
Before rotation, force = pg

Force = 1000 x 9.81 x5 x (0.15)* 0.7 N = 121.35 N
After rotation, the depth of water at the bottom is not constant and hence pressure force due to the
height of water, will not be constant. Consider a circular ring of radius r and width dr as shown in
Fig. 5.19. Let the height of water from the bottom of the tank upto free surface of water at a radius
