Induced velocity at a specific point P refers to the change in velocity that is caused by the presence of some external influence, such as a moving object or a flow pattern, at that particular point. In fluid dynamics, induced velocity is commonly associated with the influence of vortices, sources, or other flow elements on the velocity field at a given location.Â
- V: This represents the induced velocity at point P.
- Γ: This is the circulation of the vortex filament, measured in square meters per second (m^2/s).
- h: This is the perpendicular distance from the vortex filament to point P, measured in meters (m).
