1. Uniform and Non-Uniform Flows

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define uniform flow in your own words.

   Hint

   Consider how velocity behaves across the flow.

2. 2.

   What is the no-slip condition?

   Hint

   Think about friction and boundaries.

3. 3.

   What defines uniform flow?

   • A: Changes over time
   • B: Consistent properties in space
   • C: Irregular variations

   Hint

   Think about what remains constant.

4. 4.

   True or False: Non-uniform flow occurs when properties remain the same across different points.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember the definitions of the flows.

5. 5.

   Consider a streamline represented in a two-dimensional flow. If the equation of the streamline is y = 3x + 2, determine the characteristics of the flow in this field.

   Hint

   Analyze the slope and any variations across the flow field.

6. 6.

   In a channel, the flow velocity is given by V(x) = 10 - 2x, where x is the distance from one bank. Determine whether it’s uniform or non-uniform flow and explain why.

   Hint

   Identify how the equation's structure affects fluid properties.
