Concept:

Flow along a curved path:

The flow along a curved path for a fluid is known as a vortex.

There are two types of vortex flow as follows:

  • Free vortex 
  • Forced vortex

Free vortex:

In the free vortex, the angular momentum remains the same while in the forced vortex the angular momentum changes along the path.

Forced vortex:

Forced vortex is a result of a net external torque which is responsible for the change in the angular momentum (moment of momentum).

Torque:

It is defined as the rate of change of angular momentum.

Hence, the change in the moment of momentum of a fluid due to flow along a curved path results in Torque.
