For an irrotational flow. show that Bernoulli’s equation holds between any points in the flow, not just along a streamline.
To Show: Bernoulli’s equation for irrotational flow.
Answer to Problem 3.1P
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Flow type is irrotational.
Calculation:
Considering steady and inviscid flow:
Multiplying (1), (2) and (3) by
Now, adding equation 4,5 and 6
We know that for irrotational flow
Substituting Equation (8) into (7) we get
