9. Uniform and Non-Uniform Flows

The chapter explains the concepts of uniform and non-uniform flow, highlighting their definitions and implications. It contrasts uniform flow, where fluid properties remain constant in space, with non-uniform flow, where these properties vary from one point to another. The significance of streamlines and the no-slip condition in fluid mechanics are also discussed, culminating in a practical exercise on evaluating streamlines in a given flow field.
