(N/A) Steady flow is defined as a type of fluid motion in which the velocity of the fluid particles at any given point in space remains constant with respect to time.
In other words,at any fixed point in the path of the fluid,the velocity vector does not change as time passes.
Mathematically,for a steady flow,the velocity $v$ at a point $(x, y, z)$ satisfies the condition $\frac{\partial v}{\partial t} = 0$.
