In fluid flow, the stagnation point is defined as a point, where the _____________ is zero?

Correct answer: A. Flow velocity

  • A. Flow velocity
  • B. Pressure
  • C. Total energy
  • D. All A., B. and C.

Explanation

At a stagnation point, the local fluid velocity becomes zero, while the pressure reaches a maximum relative to the flowing stream. Pressure and total energy are not zero there.
