Explain steady flow .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The flow of the fluid is said to be steady if at any given point ,the velocity of each passing fluid particle remains constant in time

This means that the velocity of any particle of the fluid remains the same which passing through a given point .
For example , let the velocity of each particles passing through point P is `vecv_(p)` , the velocity of each particles passing through point Q is `vecv_(Q)`, the velocity of each particles passing through point R is `vecv_(R)` .
It is not necessary that `vecv_(p)=vecv_(Q)=vecv_(R)`.
When particle passing from one point to other, its velocity can be changed.
If fluid has less velocity then its motion is said to be steady flow . For example , very slow motion of water stream , slow flowing wind.
