Streamline: It is an imaginary line which is drawn through flowing fluid in such a way that tangent at any point
gives direction of velocity at a particular point.

Stream tube: It is imagined to be formed by grouping no. of stream lines. There does not exist any normal
component because of any point on stream line velocity is tangential to stream line. Therefore, flow will not be
across the boundary surface. It will take place at its ends only which may be circular. It is used to analyse fluid
flow pattern. Example: pipe & nozzles

Path line: The line traced by single fluid particle over a given period of time is known as path line. It also gives
the direction of velocity.

Streak line: The line traced by all fluid particles passing through a fixed spot is known as streak line.
Ex: In an experimental work to trace the motion of fluid particles a coloured dye may be injected as shown in
fig.

Potential function (f): It is scalar function of space and time such that negative derivation w.r.t any direction
gives the velocity component along that direction is known as potential function f.

Properties of Potential Function –

2) If its satisfies laplace equation then it represents steady, irrotational and incompressible flow.

Local Acceleration: It can be defined as the change of velocity w.r.t time in a given period of time then it is
called as local acceleration.

Convective acceleration: It can be defined as the change in velocity w.r.t. to position of fluid particle (w.r.t
distance) then it is called as convective acceleration.
Total acceleration = convective acceleration + local acceleration
a = aui + avj + awk
a= au 2 + av2 + aw 2

Tangent acceleration: If a fluid particle is moving along with circular curve then there will be change in velocity
due to change in time. The change in velocity can be resolved in two directions –
i) along tangential velocity ii) along normal direction

The rate of change of velocity along tangential direction is called as tangential acceleration. The rate of change
of velocity along normal direction is called normal acceleration.

3. Compressible and Incompressible flow:

• Compressible flow: It is the type of flow in which the density of fluid changes from time to time due to
change of volume. All gases flows are taken as compressible.
• Incompressible flow: It is the type of flow in which the density of fluid does not changes from time to
time. All liquids are taken as incompressible.

4. Laminar and Turbulent Flow

Laminar Flow Turbulent Flow

1 In laminar flow, each layer of flow is moving In turbulent flow, there is a zig zag motion in which
independently with respect to adjacent layer. each layer interface with the motion of other layer.

3 A flow of every viscous liquid and flow of liquid A flow at high velocity. In practice, all flows are
at very less velocity turbulent
4 If Reynold’s number is upto 2000 the flow is If the Reynolds number is more than 4000, than the
laminar flow is turbulent.
