Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a scenario where a fluid flows over a flat plate with a known viscosity and velocity, calculate the Reynolds number and predict whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. Use a flaw assumption of a plate length.

💡 Hint: Use typical values for density and viscosity if not provided.

Question 2

Analyze a flow situation applying non-dimensionalization to the Navier-Stokes equations. Identify terms to retain and eliminate based on their order of magnitude.

💡 Hint: Consider simplifying terms as much as possible, focus on key driving forces in flow.
