Question 1

What does the continuum hypothesis assume about fluids?

  • They are discrete particles
  • They are continuous media
  • They cannot be analyzed mathematically

💡 Hint: Consider how we analyze fluid flow in reality.

Question 2

True or False: Stress tensors can be used to quantify internal resistance forces in fluids.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how these tensors help in fluid analysis.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a small control volume in a flowing fluid. How would you approach deriving Cauchy's equation, and what assumptions will you base this on?

💡 Hint: Relate each step back to the assumptions discussed.

Question 2

Discuss how transitions from laminar to turbulent flows challenge the assumptions made in fluid mechanics.

💡 Hint: Think about how fluid properties change with different flow regimes.
