    3.2 The Acceleration Field

    Uploaded by

    Lit Pao Wong
    This document discusses streamline coordinates and the acceleration field. It shows that in streamline coordinates, the acceleration can be written as the derivative of the velocity with respect to time plus the velocity times the derivative of the streamline coordinate with respect to time. For steady flows along streamlines, the derivative of the velocity with respect to time is zero, so the acceleration reduces to the velocity times the derivative of the streamline coordinate with respect to distance along the streamline.
