Which of these flow properties does not suit covariant or contra-variant bases?(a) Velocity(b) Density(c) Stress(d) Viscous forcesI had been asked this question during an internship interview.The query is from Numerical Methods in chapter Numerical Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

The correct option is (b) Density

To explain: Covariant or contra-variant bases can be USED only with vectors or TENSORS. They cannot be used with scalars. Here, Velocities STRESS and FORCES all come under either vectors or tensors. Density is a scalar property. So, it cannot be REPRESENTED using covariant or contra-variant bases.
