To calculate the Potential Flow (Phi):
\[ \Phi = V \times \Psi \]
Where:
Potential flow refers to the flow of an incompressible fluid with no viscosity in a region where the velocity field can be described as the gradient of a scalar function called the velocity potential. In potential flow theory, the flow is irrotational and the velocity potential satisfies Laplace’s equation. This concept is used in various fields of engineering and physics to simplify the analysis of fluid motion, especially when the effects of viscosity are negligible.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \Phi = 10 \times 5 = 50 \text{ m}^2\text{/s} \]
The Potential Flow is 50 m2/s.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \Phi = 20 \times 3 = 60 \text{ m}^2\text{/s} \]
The Potential Flow is 60 m2/s.
