Which organized flow is characterized by the layers in the center traveling faster compared to the layers close to the vessel wall?
A. Parabolic
B. Pulsatile
C. Turbulent
D. Plug
Answer (2)
Parabolic flow is characterized by the layers in the center moving faster than those near the vessel walls, resulting in a velocity profile that resembles a parabola. This flow is typical in laminar conditions within circular pipes. Understanding parabolic flow is fundamental in fluid dynamics and hydraulics. ;
The correct answer is A. Parabolic flow, where layers of fluid in the center move faster than those near the wall, is characterized by a parabolic velocity profile in laminar flow. Understanding this flow is essential in fluid dynamics.
