The difference in velocity between adjacent layers of the fluid is known as a velocity gradient and is given by v/x, where v is the velocity difference and x is the distance between the layers. To keep one layer of fluid moving at a greater velocity than the adjacent layer, a force F is necessary, resulting in a shearing stress F/A, where A is the area of the surface in contact with the layer being moved.
The steeper the gradient, the higher the velocity of flow.
Known to be "VELOCITY GRADIENT"
The velocity gradient (du/dy) where du is the change in velocity and dy is the change in distance between plates, would have units of (1/time) or (1/sec).Hope this helps!
the gradient of the graph
the difference in velocity is mostly due to the great efficiency of the large downstream channel.
The steeper the gradient, the higher the velocity of flow.
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
Known to be "VELOCITY GRADIENT"
the gradient and how much friction there was. The gradient means how steep the land the river is on so if it is very steep them the velocity will be higher.
With respect to material being sheared, velocity gradient is the change dv in relative velocity v between parallel planes with respect to the change dr in perpendicular distance r throughout the depth of the material. Velocity gradient has the same dimensions as rate of shear, which is reciprocal seconds.
The velocity gradient (du/dy) where du is the change in velocity and dy is the change in distance between plates, would have units of (1/time) or (1/sec).Hope this helps!
the gradient of the graph
Velocity is L/T, gradient ("per unit distance") is 1/L so L/T x 1/L = 1/T
the difference in velocity is mostly due to the great efficiency of the large downstream channel.
It is the downward gradient of the graph.
