Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider two infinite parallel plates with one moving at a constant speed. Without using detailed equations, qualitatively describe how the velocity gradient changes as you move away from the moving plate towards the fixed plate.
💡 Hint: Think about how fluid layers interact at a boundary.
Assume a viscous fluid flowing between two plates is subject to a pressure gradient. How would the velocity profile differ in this case compared to a purely moving plate scenario? Explain the reasoning behind your answer.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how pressure influences fluid dynamics.
