Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid is flowing through a pipe with a varying diameter. Explain how the Navier-Stokes equations can be applied to predict the change in velocity as fluid moves from a wider section to a narrower section.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between cross-sectional area and velocity.
Describe a real-world situation where the limitations of the Navier-Stokes equations become significant. Provide reasoning for their inadequacy in that situation.
💡 Hint: Think about scenarios involving rapid fluctuations in fluid motion.
