AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the effects of falling fluid from a height, specifically comparing inviscid and viscous flows in terms of energy, momentum, and entropy. The initial confusion arises from the use of contradictory terms "inviscid/viscous." Participants clarify the need to analyze each fluid type separately at different phases: at the top of the dam, during the fall, at the drop point, and after the drop. Key considerations include how viscosity affects energy dissipation and momentum transfer, as well as changes in entropy throughout the process. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for fluid mechanics applications.

Hello there ,

could you please explain to me what would happen to an inviscid/viscous incompressible flow (energy,momentum and entropy wise)falling from a height ? ( i.e a dam )


Thanks;)

To be honest, I am not really sure what you are asking, especially since you say "invsicid/viscous", which are opposite terms.
 
I meant how would each of the mentioned values ( entropy , momentum , energy ) would change for both a viscous and an inviscid fluid for each phase : a ) at the top of the dam , b) while falling c) when it drops d) after the drop
