Shear Stress in Turbulent Flow Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shear Stress = (Density of Fluid*Friction Factor*Velocity^2)/2
𝜏 = (ρ_f*f*v^2)/2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Shear Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Stress is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Density of Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid is defined as the mass of fluid per unit volume of the said fluid.
Friction Factor - The Friction Factor or Moody chart is the plot of the relative roughness (e/D) of a pipe against Reynold's number.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Density of Fluid: 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Friction Factor: 0.16 --> No Conversion Required
Velocity: 21.3 Meter per Second --> 21.3 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

𝜏 = (ρ_f*f*v^2)/2 --> (1.225*0.16*21.3^2)/2

What happens to the wall shear stress in turbulent flow?

In turbulent flow, inertia forces are significant as compared to viscous forces. Hence in the turbulent pipe flow shear stress varies linearly with the radius.

How is shear stress developed in laminar and turbulent fluid flow?

The shear stress in laminar flow is a direct result of momentum transfer among the randomly moving molecules (a microscopic phenomenon). The shear stress in turbulent flow is largely a result of momentum transfer among the randomly moving, finite-sized fluid particles (a macroscopic phenomenon).

How to Calculate Shear Stress in Turbulent Flow?

Shear Stress in Turbulent Flow calculator uses Shear Stress = (Density of Fluid*Friction Factor*Velocity^2)/2 to calculate the Shear Stress, The Shear Stress in turbulent flow formula is defined as the maximum at the center and decreases linearly towards the wall in it. Shear Stress is denoted by 𝜏 symbol.
