Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a fluid flowing around a cylindrical object. Apply the concept of stream functions to analyze the flow behavior and derive the velocity components.
💡 Hint: Use the relationships established in class about stream functions.
A rectangular area experiences airflow that shows varying velocities across different streamlines. How would you apply the mass conservation equations to calculate flow through specific boundaries?
💡 Hint: Connect these calculations back to the fundamental continuity equations discussed.
