Choose an option
  • A
    Incompressible flow
  • B
    Compressible flow
  • C
    Uniform flow
  • D
    Steady flow

Answer

Correct Answer: Incompressible flow

Explanation

Concept/Approach

  • If density does not change during motion, the flow is called incompressible. Uniform and steady describe spatial and temporal constancy of velocity, not density.

Final AnswerIncompressible flow
