Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a steady flow in a pipe, trace a fluid particle's path and discuss the relationship between its pathline and the streamlines observed.
💡 Hint: Consider how steady flow characteristics minimize changes.
If a dye is released in a turbulent flow, describe how the resulting streakline would differ from pathlines in a steady flow scenario.
💡 Hint: Reflect on the unpredictable nature of turbulent flow compared to steady conditions.
