Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A river has an average velocity of 3 m/s, and the width is 50 m with a depth of 2 m. Calculate whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
💡 Hint: Use Q = A*V to find velocity and check Re to classify.
Examine a scenario in which high turbulent flows lead to increased erosion along a riverbank. Analyze why turbulent conditions can exacerbate wear on the riverbank structure.
💡 Hint: Consider energy and force application in taxiing conditions.
