Question

What does Crocco’s theorem establish?

(a) Relationship between inertial and fluid properties

(b) Relationship between fluid and thermodynamic properties

(c) Give the body forces

(d) Determine the relation between vorticity and angular velocity

The question was posed to me in an international level competition.

I would like to ask this question from Crocco’s Theorem topic in chapter Differential Conservative Equations for Inviscid Flow of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) Relationship between fluid and thermodynamic properties

To elaborate: Crocco’s theorem was established by Luigi Crocco who found a relationship between vorticity, velocity and stagnation pressure of the fluid which is a kinematic property and the thermodynamic properties.
