Question
Which of the following diagrams (Figure) does not represent a streamline flow?
Options
Solution
Explanation:
In a streamlined flow at any given point. the velocity of each passing fluid particle remains constant. If we consider a cross-sectional area. then a point in the area cannot have different velocities at the same time, hence two streamlines of flow cannot cross each other.
