Problem 1.315

Ideal fluid flows along a flat tube of constant cross-section, located in a horizontal plane and bent as shown in Fig. 1.80 (top view). The flow is steady. Are the pressures and velocities of the fluid equal at points 1 and 2 ? What is the shape of the streamlines?

Reveal Answer
1.315. \(p_{1}>p_{2}, v_{1}<v_{2}\). The density of streamlines grows on transition from point 1 to point 2 .
