Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a two-dimensional incompressible flow field defined by the stream function ψ = x²y - y³. Derive the velocity components and verify the continuity equation.

💡 Hint: Use partial differentiation and remember continuity principles.

Question 2

Evaluate the flow around a rotating cylinder modeled by the stream function ψ = r²θ. Can you describe the behavior of the flow and identify any critical points?

💡 Hint: Visualize fluid paths around a moving object.
