Q1: Velocity at a certain point in case of streamline flow is

A constant

B independent of time

C both (a) & (b)

D neither (a) nor (b)

ANS:C - both (a) & (b)

In the case of streamline flow, the velocity at a certain point satisfies the following conditions:

  • Constant: The velocity at any point within a streamline (a path followed by a fluid particle) remains constant as long as the flow conditions (such as fluid properties and external forces) do not change.
  • Independent of Time: Streamline flow implies that each fluid particle follows a path where its velocity vector at any instant is tangent to the streamline at that point. This implies that the velocity at a certain point in streamline flow is independent of time, meaning it remains constant along the streamline.
Therefore, the correct answer is: both (a) & (b) In streamline flow:
  • The velocity at a certain point is constant.
  • The velocity at a certain point is independent of time.
