Try these first

1. 1.

   What does CFD stand for?

   Hint

   Think about how we analyze fluid flow.

2. 2.

   What is Cauchy’s equation used for?

   Hint

   Remember, it's related to how fluids move.

3. 3.

   What are Cauchy's equations used for?

   • Predicting sound waves
   • Describing fluid motion
   • Representing solid mechanics

   Hint

   Think about fluids!

4. 4.

   True or False: The Navier-Stokes equations are only applicable in the study of gases.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider all kinds of fluids.

5. 5.

   Given a complex fluid flow scenario, derive the Cauchy equations applicable to the situation.

   Hint

   Think about the forces acting on tiny fluid elements.

6. 6.

   How would you apply CFD to predict environmental impact in a reservoir subject to water pollution?

   Hint

   Focus on how pollutants move within different flow velocities.
