11.1.1. Introduction

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is fluid kinematics?

   Hint

   Focus on motion without forces.

2. 2.

   What does the Hele-Shaw apparatus do?

   Hint

   Remember the shapes of fluid flows.

3. 3.

   What does fluid kinematics study?

   • Force acting on fluids
   • Motion of fluids
   • Temperature of fluids

   Hint

   Think about how fluids behave rather than what causes their behavior.

4. 4.

   True or False: The Hele-Shaw apparatus is used to measure fluid temperature.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall what apparatuses are used for in this context.

5. 5.

   Design an experiment using the Hele-Shaw apparatus to visualize flow over a complex object. Describe the setup and expected results.

   Hint

   Think about how objects interact with flowing fluids.

6. 6.

   Analyze a real-world scenario where understanding fluid kinematics impacts engineering design. Explain your reasoning.

   Hint

   Relate it to structures faced with water flow.
