Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid system where compressible fluid is flowing through a narrow nozzle experiences a pressure drop. Analyze how this affects the system’s behavior compared to an incompressible fluid.
💡 Hint: Consider the behaviors of gases versus liquids under pressure.
How would the introduction of virtual fluid balls change the approach to teaching fluid dynamics? Discuss the merits and challenges.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how visualization aids learning but also its limits.
