Question 1
Given the velocity profile V(x,y,z) = (3y^2 - z, -2x + z, 5x + 4y), calculate the local and convective acceleration at the point (2, 1, 3).
💡 Hint: Use partial derivatives with respect to each spatial component.
Question 2
A fluid flows through a pipe with varying cross-sections. Explain how local and convective acceleration would change when moving from a wide section to a narrow section.
💡 Hint: Think about how velocity must adapt as forced through a smaller area.
