Question

For ideal fluid flow, the condition that flow lines do not cross is called:
  1. A
    Continuity
  2. B
    Irrotational flow
  3. C
    Potential flow
  4. D
    Steady flow
    Correct

Correct answer

Steady flow

Explanation

In steady flow, velocity at each point is constant in time, and streamlines are fixed in space (they cannot cross).
