Flow Velocity

Flow velocity is the speed at which a fluid, such as water or air, moves through a given point in a channel or pipe. It is measured in units like meters per second (m/s) or feet per second (ft/s). Higher flow velocity means the fluid is moving faster, while lower velocity indicates slower movement. Flow velocity helps determine how quickly a fluid transports substances, affects pressure and flow rate, and is important for designing efficient systems like plumbing, water supply, or air ventilation. It varies depending on the channel size, fluid properties, and applied forces.
