Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a stream function, derive the expressions for velocity components u and v and prove if the flow is steady or unsteady.

💡 Hint: Focus on differentiating correctly and applying the definitions of velocity components.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where you have a compressible flow. How would you modify the stream function to account for density variations?

💡 Hint: Reflect on the main differences between compressible and incompressible formulations.
