Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a model of a pipe flow where the Reynolds number is maintained at 1500. Discuss the expected flow characteristics in both the model and its prototype.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how the Reynolds number informs your understanding of flow regimes.

Question 2

Given a set of variables for a fluid flow experiment, outline how you would use the Buckingham Pi theorem to derive the necessary dimensionless groups.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about which variables would serve as repeating variables in creating the groups.
