Moving plate in a fluid
The velocity of the liquid (in the x-direction) is highest near the moving plate and gets progressively smaller as we move away from the plate in the perpendicular, or y-, direction. Note the magnitude of the velocity vectors for layers increasingly away from the moving plate.
