4 Questions
What does uniform flow imply?
No variation of fluid properties with position
Why does the flow not remain uniform near the wind tunnel walls?
Due to the presence of a boundary layer and the no-slip condition
In engineering practice, why is it common to approximate flow in ducts and pipes as uniform?
For simplicity in calculations
What does approximating fully developed pipe flow velocity profile as uniform introduce?
Errors that require correction factors
Test your knowledge about uniform flow in fluid mechanics, its implications, and the factors affecting it such as the no-slip condition and boundary layer. Understand the concept of uniform flow in different contexts like wind tunnel testing and pipe entrances.
