Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the shear strain rate experienced by a fluid element as two parallel plates move apart at a speed difference of 2 m/s over a distance of 0.5 m.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for shear strain rate based on velocity gradients.
Two fluid elements occupy a cylindrical pipe. Element A moves faster than Element B. Describe how this velocity difference affects vorticity and explain its physical significance.
💡 Hint: Consider how fluid layers interact and lead to rotation.
