This set of Fluid Mechanics Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Gradually Varied Flow(GVF) – 1”.
1. Which of the following assumptions about a GVF is false?
a) Channel is prismatic
b) Pressure distribution is hydrostatic
c) Flow characteristics change with time
d) Roughness co efficient is constant
View Answer
Explanation: In a GVF, the flow is steady and hence the flow characteristics does not change with time.
