3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define velocity potential functions.
Think of how velocity is expressed in terms of a single function.
Explain irrotational flow
Relate it to the absence of circulation in the fluid.
What is a velocity potential function?
Think about the relationship between scalar and vector fields.
True or False: Irrotational flow allows for the application of velocity potential functions.
Recall the definition of irrotational flow.
Consider a fluid flowing past a flat plate with known boundary conditions. Derive the velocity potential function given that the flow is irrotational.
Remember to apply the proper mathematical transformations for irrotational flows.
In a turbulent flow scenario, discuss why velocity potential functions cannot be applied and provide alternative approaches to analyzing such flows.
Focus on the concept of vorticity and how it affects fluid characteristics.
