inviscid in Mechanical Engineering
(ɪnvɪsɪd)
adjective
(Mechanical engineering: Fluid engineering)
An inviscid flow is a type of flow in which viscous forces are very small in comparison with inertial ones.
In large-bore pipes the flow can often be assumed to be inviscid.
Bernoulli's principle states that, for an inviscid flow, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decreasein pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.
