The component of acceleration resulting due to unsteady nature of flow is called ____________ acceleration?
Correct answer: C. Local
- A. Normal
- B. Convective
- C. Local
- D. Tangential
Explanation
The local acceleration is caused by the time variation of velocity at a fixed position, so it represents the unsteady nature of flow. Convective acceleration instead results from velocity changes as the fluid moves from one location to another.
