Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid flows over a curved surface at a certain Reynolds number. Describe the expected changes in the boundary layer as the curvature increases. What engineering solutions could mitigate adverse effects?

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between curvature and flow dynamics.

Question 2

Design an experiment to measure how boundary layer thickness changes with surface curvature. Outline the necessary materials, procedure, and expected results.

💡 Hint: Consider how you would collect data effectively.
