Streamline flow :
-
It is defined as the path taken by the fluid particles flowing in a particular direction.
-
In a steady flow, the streamlines are constant.
-
If we draw a tangent to the path of the streamline we can obtain the direction of the velocity of the fluid at that point.
-
Two streamlines can never intersect
→Thus, At a particular cross-sectional area the velocity of the fluid particles in that cross-section will be constant.
→As the particles move ahead their velocity might change but for a particular cross-sectional plane the velocities of all the particles will be the same throughout that plane for the streamlined flow.
Hence, the correct option is (2)
