Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a rectangular channel with laminar flow of fluid. If the pressure drop across the length is known, how could you apply the Navier-Stokes equations to determine the velocity profile?
💡 Hint: Think about how the pressure gradient affects fluid speed in a channel.
What challenges do engineers face when modeling turbulent flow using the Navier-Stokes equations, and how might they overcome these challenges?
💡 Hint: Consider the benefits of simulations versus analytical solutions.
