Topic: Fluid Mechanics

A one dimensional flow is one which-

  • A. Is uniform flow
  • B. is steady uniform flow
  • C. Takes place in straight lines
  • D. Involves zero transverse component of flow

Answer: D. Involves zero transverse component of flow

Explanation: One Dimensional Flow - It is that type of flow in which the flow parameter such as velocity is a function of time and one space coordinate only. Mathematically, $u=f(x)$, $v=0$ and $w=0$. Hence, one dimensional flow is one which involves zero transverse component of flow.
