What is Fluid Mechanics?

Fluid dynamics is “the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases”. It involves a wide range of applications such as calculating force & moments, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space, and modelling fission weapon detonation.

What is Hydrostatic Pressure?

Hydrostatic pressure is defined as “The pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at any point of time due to the force of gravity”. Hydrostatic pressure is proportional to the depth measured from the surface as the weight of the fluid increases when a downward force is applied. The fluid pressure can be caused by gravity, acceleration or forces when in a closed container. Consider a layer of water from the top of the bottle. There is the pressure exerted by the layer of water acting on the sides of the bottle. As we move down from the top of the bottle to the bottom, the pressure exerted by the top layer on the bottom adds up. This phenomenon is responsible for more pressure at the bottom of the container.

How to Calculate Absolute Pressure at any Point on Submerged Plate?

Absolute Pressure at any Point on Submerged Plate calculator uses Absolute Pressure at any Point on Plate = Absolute Pressure above Liquid+(Density of Fluid*[g]*Vertical Distance of Point from Free Surface) to calculate the Absolute Pressure at any Point on Plate, The Absolute Pressure at any Point on Submerged Plate formula is defined as the function of Absolute Pressure above the Liquid which is the local atmospheric pressure Patm if the liquid is open to the atmosphere (but P0 may be different than Patm if the space above the liquid is evacuated or pressurized), density of fluid, gravitational acceleration and Vertical Distance of Point from Free Surface. A plate (such as a gate valve in a dam, the wall of a liquid storage tank, or the hull of a ship at rest) is subjected to fluid pressure distributed over its surface when exposed to a liquid. On a plane surface, the hydrostatic forces form a system of parallel forces, and we often need to determine the magnitude of the force and its point of application, which is called the center of pressure. In most cases, the other side of the plate is open to the atmosphere (such as the dry side of a gate), and thus atmospheric pressure acts on both sides of the plate, yielding a zero resultant. Absolute Pressure at any Point on Plate is denoted by P symbol.

What is Absolute Pressure at any Point on Submerged Plate?

The Absolute Pressure at any Point on Submerged Plate formula is defined as the function of Absolute Pressure above the Liquid which is the local atmospheric pressure Patm if the liquid is open to the atmosphere (but P0 may be different than Patm if the space above the liquid is evacuated or pressurized), density of fluid, gravitational acceleration and Vertical Distance of Point from Free Surface. A plate (such as a gate valve in a dam, the wall of a liquid storage tank, or the hull of a ship at rest) is subjected to fluid pressure distributed over its surface when exposed to a liquid. On a plane surface, the hydrostatic forces form a system of parallel forces, and we often need to determine the magnitude of the force and its point of application, which is called the center of pressure. In most cases, the other side of the plate is open to the atmosphere (such as the dry side of a gate), and thus atmospheric pressure acts on both sides of the plate, yielding a zero resultant and is represented as P = P_o+(ρ_Fluid*[g]*h) or Absolute Pressure at any Point on Plate = Absolute Pressure above Liquid+(Density of Fluid*[g]*Vertical Distance of Point from Free Surface). Absolute Pressure above Liquid is defined as the absolute pressure exerted by the atmosphere above the liquid surface, Density of Fluid is defined as the mass of fluid per unit volume of the said fluid & Vertical Distance of Point from Free Surface is defined as the distance between the point and the free surface.
