How to Evaluate Velocity Gradient?

Velocity Gradient evaluator uses Velocity Gradient = Change in Velocity/Change in Distance to evaluate the Velocity Gradient, The Velocity Gradient formula is defined as a ratio between change in velocity between adjacent layers and change in distance between consecutive points between adjacent layers. Velocity Gradient is denoted by dvdy symbol.

How to evaluate Velocity Gradient using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Velocity Gradient, enter Change in Velocity (dv) & Change in Distance (dy) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Velocity Gradient

What is the formula to find Velocity Gradient?
