Explanation: Forced vortex flow is that type of flow in which some external torque is required to rotate the fluid. For this type of flow ⇒ V = ωr where, V = velocity, ω = angular velocity, r = radius In forced vortex motion, after initial transients, the liquid will move as a rigid body together with the container. There is no deformation, and thus there can be no shear stress, and every fluid particle in the container moves with the same angular velocity. The total mechanical energy changes with the radius. The total mechanical energy is the sum of pressure, kinetic and potential energy and is constant along a streamline but not in the entire flow. To maintain a forced vortex flow, mechanical energy has to be spent from outside and thus an external torque is always necessary to be applied continuously.
