What is Potential flow?

Answer: Potential flow states about the velocity field considering it as gradient of scalar function such as the velocity potential. It is considered same as irrotational flow.

Explanation:In the study of fluid dynamics, potential flow is stated as the term for describing about the velocity field taking it as the gradient of a scalar function. Therefore, potential flow is stated by an irrotational velocity field and there is a irrotation because of the curl of the gradient of scalar quantity is zero. Potential flow is considered same as the irrotational flow that is the particles in the fluids that do not rotate.
