Question 1

What does the Continuum Hypothesis assume about fluids?

  • Fluids consist of discrete particles
  • Fluids can be treated as continuous
  • Fluids are incompressible

💡 Hint: What simplification does the hypothesis provide?

Question 2

True or False: Cauchy's equations describe the motion of fluids considering internal stresses.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Are internal stresses important in fluid dynamics?

Question 1

Explain how the continuum hypothesis affects computational fluid dynamics (CFD) when modeling complex flow scenarios, such as airflow over an aircraft wing.

💡 Hint: Consider why treating air as a collection of molecules would complicate calculations.

Question 2

Develop a scenario where the continuum hypothesis might fail, and explain the implications for fluid mechanics.

💡 Hint: Think about where fluid interactions are influenced by size relative to the fluid's continuum assumption.
