Fluid Mechanics
101. Non uniform flow occurs when
- the direction and magnitude of the velocity at all points are identical
- the velocity of successive fluid particles, at any point, is the same at successive periods of time
- the magnitude aricf direction of the velocity do not change from point to point in the fluid
- the fluid particles move in plane or parallel planes and the streamline pat-terns are identical in each plane
- velocity, depth, pressure, etc. change from point to point in the fluid flow.
Correct answer: (E)
velocity, depth, pressure, etc. change from point to point in the fluid flow.
102. Normal depth in open channel flow is the depth of flow corresponding to
- steady flow
- unsteady flow
- laminar flow
- uniform flow
- critical flow.
Correct answer: (D)
uniform flow
