What is the meaning of equipotential lines in flow fields?
I understand that the stream function shows me the direction of the flow field and that the equipotential lines are orthogonal to the streamlines.
The combination of these two form a flow net. But what is the significance of the equipotential lines? Why do I need them? What benefit do I get from having a flow net?
I can't find an answer anywhere, h-help?
pls?
respond
They describe the trajectory of particles in the flow, right?

they're equal head lines?
It's the potential line, like in electricity.
always perpendicular to streamlines

So the purpose of a equipotential line would be to indicate the direction of a stream lines right?
Higher potential ---- > Smaller potential ?

I don't know shit about this, but casual googling turns up more info than is in your post. Stop being a lazy shit.
Stuff I found describes equipotential lines as lines where the potential energy is 0 along the line. In terms of electrical fields, it means that a charge traced along the path will experience no change in voltage after travelling along the full line, and hence doing no work while staying there.
My guess, if I translate that roughly into whatever the fuck flow shit you're doing, is that a particle will follow those lines and not do any work while traveling along them.

I am not lazy anon kun, I am just banned from google.

Use a proxy, cheat, or move somewhere where you aren't. You'll just be falling behind.

Why dont you help me instead anon :D

the equipotential lines sho where the Hodge Frobenioid of the flow field is maximally ramified. This must be an extremely advanced class.

Aerodynamics 1.
Professor doesn't give the class, we have to give every single class ourselves, and it must be based on a textbook heavy on vector calc (we never had a vector calc class, college doesnt have one).
So I am basically trying to discover every bit by myself

OK in that case you'll probably have to learn quite a bit of Inter-Universal Teichmuller Theory. The questions in your post should be clearer after reading Mochizuki's paper on construction of Hodge Theaters.

Thats going to be hard anon.
btw are you a mei fag?
>>8328456
i have no idea what that means
>>8328458
I have no idea how you're going to get through this life being so gullible.
It depends on the context but let's say you have a charged particle such as an electron in an electric field. In an idealized world you would be able to move the electron along an equipotential line with no need to exert any force (i.e. no work is done).

How did you determine I am so gullible just by one post?
Can you prove it? :^)
>>8328432
I really hope this is bait.
How the fuck are you taking elemental fluid dynamics without a vector calculus class?
