Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a flow field where the fluid velocity decreases significantly, creating two distinct regions. Explain the transition between irrotational and rotational flow.
💡 Hint: Examine changes in velocity across layers.
How would you predict the flow behavior of a cyclone based on principles of vorticity and boundary layer theory?
💡 Hint: Think about how intensification affects the motion of the cyclone.
