flow velocity reduction

Flow velocity reduction refers to a decrease in the speed at which a fluid (like water, air, or other liquids) moves through a space, such as a pipe or open channel. This slowdown can occur when the path narrows, becomes more turbulent, or when obstacles increase resistance, causing friction and energy loss. Factors like increased friction, changes in pipe diameter, or obstructions reduce the fluid's momentum, resulting in a lower flow velocity. Understanding these causes helps in designing systems to maintain efficient fluid movement and avoid issues such as pressure buildup or decreased performance.
