Fluid-Elastic Coupling Fluid flowing over tubes causes them to vibrate with a whirling motion. The mechanism of fluid-elastic coupling occurs when a critical velocity is exceeded and the vibration then becomes self-excited and grows in amplitude. This mechanism frequently occurs in process heat exchangers which suffer vibration damage. 

The science of building aerodynamics considers the influence of wind forces over buildings and the associated mechanics of fluids these are complex in nature and are not considered here. It is sufficient to briefly consider Fig. 9.21, which shows how wind passing over a building produces a positive pressure on one side and a negative pressure on the other side. It is this pressure difference that produces airflow through openings. The combined wind and stack effects vary with the seasons. 

Mechanics is the physical science that deals with the effects of forces on the state of motion or rest of solid, liquid, or gaseous bodies. The field may he divided into the mechanics of rigid bodies, the mechanics of deformable bodies, and the mechanics of fluids.

Although in-plane permeability is critical in order to understand in detail the transport mechanisms of fluids inside diffusion layers, it has not been as commonly used (and measured) as through-plane permeability. The following are a few examples of how in-plane permeability can be determined...

Balance equations for angular momentum, or moment of momentum, may also be written. They are used less frequently than the linear momentum equations. See Whitaker (Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1968, Krieger, Huntington, N.Y., 1981) or Shames (Mechanics of Fluids, 3d ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1992).
