Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using the provided stream function for a flow field, verify if it satisfies the continuity equation.

💡 Hint: Remember to differentiate carefully and look for simplifications.

Question 2

Analyze how the flow would change if the streamlines were closer together at the top of a rotating cylinder versus further apart.

💡 Hint: Consider both velocity changes and potential effects on pressure.
