Which of the following is not related to the streamlines?

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   Reynold’s number

Explanation : The nature of the boundary layer depends on Reynold’s number which is the ratio of inertial force to viscous force. Depending on the value of Reynold’s number, the boundary layer may be laminar (the flow is continuous) or it may be turbulent ( the flow is discontinuous).

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   scalar

Explanation : In a macroscopic view, circulation is a scalar quantity as it is defined as the line integral of velocity field over a closed region. In a microscopic view, circulation is a flux of vorticity, which makes it a vector quantity.

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   boundary of an object

Explanation : The boundary layer is formed at the boundary of an object. The boundary layer divides the flow into two parts- Viscous and inviscid. The flow inside the boundary layer is highly viscous whereas, the flow outside the boundary is inviscid flow.
