Analysis of the relative motion near a point Suppose that the velocity of the fluid at position r 0 " x! y! z# and time t is V" x! y! z! t#, and that the simultaneous velocity at a neighboring position r 0 + r is V +!V. We can write!u &!v ' "!w# & (u (u (u ' ----- ----- ----- (x (y (z x (v (v (v ---- ---- ----. (5.)

Using Cartesian tensor notation, we can alternatively express (5.) as ( v!v i ------x i, where. (5.) (x j i!! j We can decompose ( v i ( x j into two parts which are symmetric and antisymmetric in the suffices i and j.

The deformation D can now be expressed by D * +,, (5.6) where we define two parts of D : & e xx e xy e xz ' & 0 + xy + xz ' * - e yx e yy e yz, and, - +. (5.7) yx 0 + yz " e zx e zy e zz # " + zx + zy 0 # We show below that * is related to the divergence, and, is related to the vorticity. Correspondingly,!V can be divided into two parts, i.e.!v!v " s#!v " a# " s# " a# +, where!v i e ij X j, and!v i + ij X j. (5.8) Here the superscripts s and a denote symmetric and antisymmetric, respectively. We refer to * as the rate of strain tensor, or simply as the strain tensor. The diagonal elements of * ( u (v (w, i.e. e xx -----! e, are called the normal strains, (x yy ----! e (y zz ------ (z and represent the rate of volume expansion, as illustrated in Fig. 5. a. The sum of the normal strains, i.e., the trace of the strain tensor, is the divergence of V, i.e. e xx + e yy + e zz e ii. ) V. (5.9) The off-diagonal elements of *, namely e xy, e yz, and e zx, are called the shearing strains, and express the rate of shearing deformation, as illustrated in Fig. 5. b. They can be written as e xy e yx -- (u (v ----- + ---- " & (y (x# ', e yz e zy -- (v (w ---- + ------ " & (z (y# ', e zx e xz -- (w (u ------ + ----- " & (x (z# '. (5.0)

(5.6) By putting f" x! y! z# constant, we obtain a surface of second order, the strain quadratic, also called the ellipsoid of strain. We refer the strain quadratic to its principal axes the form " X! X! X #. Then (5.6) takes e X + e X + e X F" X! X! X # constant. (5.7) Here e, e, and e are the principal values of the strain tensor, and are called the principal normal strains. Using (5.6), we see that!u " s# -- (f 5 ---- e (x xx x + e xy y + e xz z!v " s# -- (f ---- e (y yx x + e yy y + e yz z 4.!w " s# -- ---- ( f e ( z zx x + e zy y + e zz z (5.8) In terms of the principal axes " X!

Therefore, the symmetric part of!v is composed of three expansions (or contractions) in the mutually orthogonal directions of the principal axes of the strain quadratic. We next consider the sum of the diagonal elements of e, i.e. e xx + e yy + e zz e ii. ) V. (5.0) This quantity is an invariant under the rotation of the axes of reference. Consider the " #
98 transformation by which the surface f" x! y! z# the constant of (5.6) is transformed into F" X! X! X # the constant of (5.7). We can write the transformation between the two Cartesian coordinates in the schematic, tabular form shown in Table 5. x y z a b g X X a b g X a b g Table 5.: The transformation between two Cartesian coordinate systems. Here ai, bi, gi, are the direction cosines between the axes. Here ai, bi, gi, are the direction cosines between the axes.

Substituting the expression into (5.7), we obtain X i i x + 0 i y + 7 i z where i!! (5.) 6 i i 5! 6 i 0 i 0. i i j + 0 i 0 j + 7 i 7 j! ij 4 (5.) This expression must be identical with (5.6), so that e xx e + e + e! e xy 0 e + 0 e + 0 e, 5 e yy 0 e + 0 e + 0 e! e yz 0 7 e + 0 7 e + 0 7 e, 4. e zz 7 e + 7 e + 7 e! e zy 7 e + 7 e + 7 e, (5.4)

Of course, this quantity is called the divergence, and we knew already that it is independent of the choice of reference. Another invariant of the strain tensor is e xx e yy + e yy e zz + e zz e xx e xy e yz e zx constant. (5.6) The proof is left as an exercise. 5. Stress In a moving viscous fluid, forces act not only normal to a surface but also tangential to it. In Fig. 5., : x, : y and : z denote respectively the forces per unit area acting upon the surfaces normal to the positive x, y, and z directions, respectively. In z (: : z z + ------9z (z : x : x 0 (: : y y + -------9y (y y : y : y x (: : x x + -------9x (x : z : z Figure 5.: Sketch illustrating the normal and tangential forces acting on an element of fluid.
00 general, each force is a vector with components, so that : x : xx i + : yx j + : zx k, 5 : y : xy i + : yy j + : zy k,. : z : xz i + : yz j + : zz k. 4 (5.7) Symbolically we can write an element of the stresses as : ij : ij " i!! ; j!! #. Here is the i-component of the force per unit area exerted across a plane surface element normal to the j-direction. The stress is thus a tensor with nine elements, and can be represented by the matrix T & : xx : xy : xz ' : yx : yy : yz " : zx : zy : zz # (5.8) For an arbitrarily chosen plane surface, whose normal vector is unit area is. See Fig. 5.4. The equilibrium condition is : n : y : y : n 9; : x 9; x : y 9; y : z 9; z 0, n, the force acting per (5.9) where 9; is the area of the oblique surface, 9; x, 9; y, 9; z, are the areas of the faces lying in the planes x 0! y 0 and z 0. Denoting the direction cosines of n by, 9; 0 and 7, we have x 9; ---------, y 9; --------- 0, -------- z 7. Therefore (5.9) can be written as 9; 9; 9; : n : x + 0: y + 7 : z, (5.0) or & : xn ' & : xx : xy : xz ' & ' : yn :, (5.) yx : yy : yz 0 " : zn # " : zx : zy : zz # " 7 # or : n T ) n. (5.)

Equation (5.) shows that matrix T transforms a vector n into another vector : n, so that T is a tensor, called the stress tensor. See Fig. 5.5. The three diagonal elements, : xx, : yy, and : zz, are normal stresses. The six off-diagonal elements are tangential stresses. An important property of T is its symmetry, i.e. : ij : ji. This symmetry can be deduced from the condition of moment equilibrium. Consider for example a moment about the z-axis due to : yx and : xy : ": yx 9y9z# --9x " : xy 9x9z# --9y -- ": yx : xy #9x9y9z. (5.) The shear stresses acting on the negative x- and y-surfaces contribute also, so that the total moment about the z-axis is ": yx : xy #9x9y9z. (5.4) Euler s equation (for a rotating rigid body) states that

Then (5.5) reduces to > ----- (" 9x# + " 9y# ) d z --------- : dt yx : xy. (5.6) d In order that --------- z remains finite, we need ": when. It follows dt yx : xy #? 0 9x! 9y? 0 that : yx : xy. Similar considerations establish that the stress tensor is symmetric, i.e., : xy : yx! : yz : zy! : zx : xz. (5.7)

It can be shown that r ) T ) r is an invariant under the rotation of the axes of reference. The sum of the normal stresses, i.e., the trace of the stress tensor, : xx + : yy + : zz : ii : + : + : p, (5.9) is also an invariant. For a moving fluid, (5.9) is the definition of pressure reduces to the static pressure when the fluid is at rest. p, which 5.5 The resultant forces due to the spatial variation of the stresses is The resultant force acting in the x-direction on a volume element of fluid 9x9y9z (: : xx xx + ---------9x " & (x # ' 9y9z :xx 9y9z : ( : + & + ---------9y xy ' 9x9z " xy (y # (: : xy 9y9z + : xz xz + ---------9z " & (z # ' 9x9y :xz 9x9y (: xx (: xy (: xz --------- + --------- + --------- " & (x (y (z # ' 9x9y9z.

We have already shown that, with reference to the respective principal axes, T & : 0 0 ' & e 0 0 ' 0 : 0 and * 0 e. (5.44) 0 " 0 0 : # " 0 0 e # Because :,, and are normal stresses and e, e, e : : are normal strains, it is natural to assume that the principal axes of both tensors are the same. We therefore assume that : p + @. ) V + *e 5 : p + @. ) V + *e, : p + @. ) V + *e 4 (5.45) where p satisfies (5.9).
