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.
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.
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.
