Potential function is applicable only for __________ flow?
Correct answer: A. Irrotational
- A. Irrotational
- B. Turbulent
- C. Steady
- D. None of these
Explanation
A velocity potential exists when the flow is irrotational, meaning the curl of the velocity field is zero. Turbulence or steadiness alone does not guarantee a potential function.
