Fluid kinematics involves understanding velocity fields and particle motion.
Irrotational flows can be analyzed using velocity potential functions.
Flow visualization techniques, including the use of apparatus like Hele-Shaw, allow for better understanding of fluid patterns.
A vector field that represents the velocities of fluid particles at different points in the fluid.
A flow where the vorticity is zero, indicating that the flow's rotation characteristics do not exist.
A measure of the local rotation of a fluid element, defined mathematically as the curl of the velocity vector field.
