Questions and Answers

The ______ effect refers to the phenomenon where fluid flow near the banks or walls of a narrow channel experiences reduced velocity compared to the center of the channel.

bank

This velocity reduction near the channel walls is caused by the increased ______ forces and boundary layer effects, resulting in a parabolic velocity profile across the channel width.

frictional

The ______ effect is particularly pronounced in narrow channels, where the influence of the channel walls on the fluid flow becomes more significant.
