What is a velocity potential function?
Think about how we can simplify vector fields.
What condition allows the use of velocity potential functions?
Consider what happens to vorticity in irrotational flows.
What is the formula for velocity potential function in a fluid flow?
Recall how potential functions represent velocity fields.
True or False: Irrotational flows can have significant vorticity.
Remember the definition of irrotational flow.
Given a fluid moving between two plates with a known velocity profile, derive the pressure distribution along the flow.
Focus on the balance of pressure gradients based on the velocity profile.
Design a scenario where potential functions fail and explain the outcome.
