Option 3 : 1, 3
Explanation:
- Velocity potential exists for irrotational flows only.
- Velocity and stream function can exist in both rotational and irrotational flows.
Stream Function:
- It is the scalar function of space and time.
- The partial derivative of stream function with respect to any direction gives the velocity component perpendicular to that direction. Hence it remains constant for a streamline
- Stream function defines only for the two-dimensional flow which is steady and incompressible..
Properties of stream function:
- If ψ exists, it follows continuity equation and the flow may be rotational or irrotational.
- If ψ satisfies the Laplace equation, then the flow is irrotational.
Velocity Potential function:
- This function is defined as a function of space and time in a flow such that the negative derivation of this function with respect to any direction gives the velocity of fluid in that direction.
Properties of Velocity Potential function:
- If velocity potential (ϕ) exist, there will be a flow.
- Velocity potential function exists for flow then the flow must be irrotational.
- If velocity potential (ϕ) satisfies the Laplace equation, it represents the possible steady incompressible irrotational flow.
