Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the stream function ψ = r²sin(θ), find the velocity components and demonstrate how the flow behaves in a radial direction.

💡 Hint: Utilize polar derivatives to solve.

Question 2

Analyze a cylindrical tank where the velocity of fluid outflow varies with height. Using stream functions, determine how this affects the preservation of mass.

💡 Hint: Remember that mass in equals mass out for steady flow.
