Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a velocity field described by u = x^2, v = 3y, w = 2z, calculate the material derivative of density at the point (2, 3, 4) if rho(x,y,z) = 5x + 2y + z.

💡 Hint: Break down the variables and compute each component accordingly.

Question 2
