Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze a system with two inflows of different velocities and one common outlet. Using conservation laws, derive the outlet velocity given the conditions.
💡 Hint: Use the basic principle that total inflow equals total outflow in steady conditions.
Design a problem scenario for seepage through a soil matrix, specifying different inflow rates and soil characteristics. Calculate the time required to fill a particular volume.
💡 Hint: Focus on how inflows and outflows relate, and express them through the storage equation.
