Velocity induced at a given point Calculator

Velocity induced at a given point refers to the change in fluid velocity that occurs due to the presence of an object or disturbance in a fluid flow. This change in velocity is caused by interactions between the fluid and the object, leading to alterations in the flow pattern and direction of the fluid particles. In fluid dynamics, the concept of induced velocity is often used to describe how the motion of one part of a fluid affects the motion of nearby fluid particles. This effect is especially significant in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics when dealing with objects moving through a fluid medium, such as an aircraft wing through air or a ship hull through water. 

  • V: Velocity induced by the vortex filament at a certain point in the fluid
  • Γ: Strength of the vortex filament 
  • h: Distance from the vortex filament to the point where the induced velocity is being calculated
