In fluid flow, the stagnation point is defined as a point, where the _____________ is zero?
Correct answer: D. Flow velocity
- A. All A., B. and C.
- B. Pressure
- C. Total energy
- D. Flow velocity
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.
