Velocity and Acceleration in Steady and Unsteady Flow01:11

Velocity and Acceleration in Steady and Unsteady Flow

108
In fluid mechanics, velocity and acceleration are key concepts for analyzing particle motion in both steady and unsteady flow. Consider a fluid particle moving along a pathline, where its velocity depends on its position and time. The particle's acceleration is obtained by differentiating the velocity with respect to time.
The acceleration can be generalized to any point in the flow, and expressed as components along three perpendicular directions, representing changes in velocity over...

Bernoulli's Equation for Flow Normal to a Streamline01:16

Bernoulli's Equation for Flow Normal to a Streamline

866
Bernoulli's equation for flow normal to a streamline explains how pressure varies across curved streamlines due to the outward centrifugal forces induced by the fluid's curvature. The pressure is higher on the inner side of the curve, near the center of curvature, and decreases outward to balance these centrifugal forces.
The pressure difference depends on the fluid's velocity and radius of curvature. The pressure variation is minimal in flows with nearly straight streamlines.

Bernoulli's Equation for Flow Along a Streamline

980
Bernoulli's equation relates the energy conservation in a fluid moving along a streamline. The equation applies to incompressible and inviscid fluids under steady flow. For such a flow, Newton's second law is applied to a small fluid element, which experiences forces due to pressure differences, gravity, and velocity variations. The force balance leads to the following form of Bernoulli's equation:

Accelerating Fluids01:17

Accelerating Fluids

1.1K
When a fluid is in constant acceleration, the pressure and buoyant force equations are modified. Suppose a beaker is placed in an elevator accelerating upward with a constant acceleration, a. In the beaker, assume there is a thin cylinder of height h with an infinitesimal cross-sectional area, ΔS.
The motion of the liquid within this infinitesimal cylinder is considered to obtain the pressure difference. Three vertical forces act on this liquid:

Laminar and Turbulent Flow

8.5K
Fluid dynamics is the study of fluids in motion. Velocity vectors are often used to illustrate fluid motion in applications like meteorology. For example, wind—the fluid motion of air in the atmosphere—can be represented by vectors indicating the speed and direction of the wind at any given point on a map. Another method for representing fluid motion is a streamline. A streamline represents the path of a small volume of fluid as it flows. When the flow pattern changes with time, the...

Turbulent Flow01:24

Turbulent Flow

193
Turbulent flow is characterized by unpredictable fluctuations in velocity and pressure, which result in a chaotic fluid movement distinct from the orderly patterns of laminar flow. While laminar flow is governed by smooth, parallel layers with minimal mixing, turbulent flow exhibits highly irregular, three-dimensional patterns. This behavior arises due to instabilities in the fluid's velocity profile, and amplifies as the flow velocity increases. Minor disturbances, known as turbulent...

Area of Science:

  • Bioengineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Acoustic Analysis

Background:

  • Non-invasive vocal function measurement using skin accelerometers over the extrathoracic trachea is an emerging technique.
  • Current methods for estimating glottal airflow, such as inverse filtering or Bayesian techniques, rely on subglottal impedance models but suffer from sensor positioning errors and model mismatch, leading to computational burdens.
  • Accurate glottal airflow estimation is crucial for understanding vocal function and diagnosing voice disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computationally efficient method for estimating glottal airflow using system identification and a Kalman smoother.
  • To reduce the model order and computational requirements compared to existing Bayesian approaches.
  • To enable real-time estimation of glottal airflow and its uncertainty for wearable monitoring applications.

Main Methods:

  • System identification techniques were employed to obtain a low-order state-space representation of the subglottal impedance-based model.
  • A Kalman smoother was utilized with the reduced-order model to estimate glottal airflow from neck-surface acceleration data.
  • The proposed method was compared against previous Bayesian techniques in terms of accuracy, model order, and computational time.

Main Results:

  • The proposed approach achieved a 94% reduction in model order and required only 1.5% of the computing time compared to prior Bayesian methods.
  • The Kalman smoother demonstrated slightly improved accuracy in correcting for glottal airflow deviations.
  • The method provides a valuable measure of uncertainty in the airflow estimate, adaptable to varying measurement conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Kalman smoother approach offers a significant reduction in computational load and model complexity for glottal airflow estimation.
  • The method achieves comparable accuracy to existing techniques while providing uncertainty quantification.
  • This approach holds promise for real-time, accurate, and uncertainty-aware glottal airflow estimation in wearable voice monitoring devices.
