1.7. Streamline Definition

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define uniform flow in your own words.

   Hint

   Think about whether properties change with space.

2. 2.

   What is a non-uniform flow?

   Hint

   Consider variations in the flow.

3. 3.

   What defines uniform flow?

   • Properties change over points
   • Properties remain unchanged across space
   • Flow only exists within a boundary

   Hint

   Think about how properties behave across different locations.

4. 4.

   Non-uniform flow occurs when:

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall the definition of non-uniform flow.

5. 5.

   Develop a mathematical model to illustrate how a fluid flows uniformly through a pipe of varying diameter.

   Hint

   Consider how volume flow rate must remain unchanged.

6. 6.

   Analyze the velocity profile across a section of a river, where the flow is non-uniform due to an obstruction. How does this affect velocity near the obstruction?

   Hint

   Think about how structures impact fluid speed.
