These notes cover the topic of circular flow, which is the study of fluid motion along a curved path. The notes begin by introducing the concept of circular flow and discussing the difference between free and forced vortices. They then go on to derive equations for the velocity and pressure distribution in a free vortex. Next, the notes discuss the forced vortex, which is a type of circular flow that is generated by the action of a mechanical motor. The notes provide an example of a forced vortex and derive equations for the velocity and pressure distribution in a forced vortex. Finally, the notes discuss the Rankine vortex, which is a combination of a free and forced vortex. The notes provide an example of a Rankine vortex and examine its properties. The notes include several diagrams and figures that illustrate the concepts discussed. They are well-written and easy to understand, and they would be a valuable resource for anyone studying fluid mechanics. Overall, these notes provide a comprehensive and well-organized overview of circular flow. They would be a valuable resource for anyone studying fluid mechanics and especially helpful for students seeking additional support on this topic.

Introduction Vortices
·
Flow often follows a curved path -
normal state ·
Almost all natural flows are circular at some

Circular flow--'vortical' flow structural level ,
and it is this circular motion -

Most of the time we
ignore this in the interests alternatively called 'turbulence' that accounts for
