Why does the flow not remain uniform near the wind tunnel walls?
Why does the flow not remain uniform near the wind tunnel walls?
- Due to high temperature near the walls
- Due to the absence of pressure near the walls
- Due to the presence of a boundary layer and the no-slip condition (correct)
- Due to the absence of a boundary layer
In engineering practice, why is it common to approximate flow in ducts and pipes as uniform?
In engineering practice, why is it common to approximate flow in ducts and pipes as uniform?
- To complicate the calculations
- To introduce errors in calculations
- For simplicity in calculations (correct)
- For accuracy in calculations
