Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider flow past a cylinder in a uniform stream. Explain how the boundary layer develops and affects flow separation.
💡 Hint: Think about the forces at play and their effects on flow.
Using the Navier-Stokes equations, analyze flow between two stationary plates with a linear pressure gradient.
💡 Hint: Start from the basic assumptions: steady flow, incompressibility, and analyze the effects of pressure.
