Show hintHide hint
Think about how it relates to space.
Question 2.
What is a streamline?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how fluids flow along lines.
3Question 3.
What defines uniform flow?
- Fluid properties change with time
- Fluid properties are constant in space
- Fluid properties are only variable along a streamline
Show hintHide hint
Think of flows you can observe.
4Question 4.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the basic definition of streamlines.
Question 5.
Given a velocity field defined by u=5x, v=-2y, w=3z, derive the equations of the streamlines passing through the point (2,1,3).
Show hintHide hint
Start with separating the variables and integrating each part.
Question 6.
Evaluate how changes in terrain affect non-uniform flow near a riverbank. Discuss what parameters would vary.
Show hintHide hint
Consider physical effects of terrain on flow characteristics.
