Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the velocity field V = yz, find the local and convective accelerations at point (1,1,1).
💡 Hint: Start by identifying each definition of acceleration.
Consider a fluid that behaves such that v = -3x, derive both types of acceleration at a given point and discuss implications for steady flow.
💡 Hint: Think about the role of time in your factors.
