Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a tank filled with water and a submerged object. Explain how the no-slip condition affects the flow of water around the object and what design implications this has for creating hydrodynamic shapes.
💡 Hint: Consider how forces act on the submerged object.
Analyze a scenario where a fluid behaves unexpectedly due to violating the assumptions of incompressibility. Discuss the implications in an engineering design context.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how pressure changes affect flow continuity.
