Fluid is created at the origin and spreads out radially in all directions in the xy-plane. The net volume flow rate of created fluid per unit width is V·/L (into the page of Fig), where L is the width of the line source into the page in Fig Since mass must be conserved everywhere except at the origin (a singular point), the volume flow rate per unit width through a circle of any radius r must also be V·/L.

It accounts for the effect of the fluid particle moving (advecting or convecting) to a new location in the flow, where the velocity field is different. For example, nunan A Çengel | John M. Cinbala consider steady flow of water through a garden hose nozzle (Fig. 4-8). We define steady in the Eulerian frame of reference to be when properties at any point in the flow field do not change with respect to time. Since the velocity at the exit of the nozzle is larger than that at the nozzle entrance, fluid particles clearly accelerate, even though the flow is steady. The accel- eration is nonzero because of the advective acceleration terms in Eq. 4-9.
