Question 1

What is a stagnation point?

  • A point of maximum velocity
  • A point of zero velocity
  • A point of high pressure

💡 Hint: Consider the definition we discussed in class.

Question 2

True or False: The no-slip condition states that fluid velocity remains constant near a solid surface.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how fluid behaves at a boundary.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a flat plate in a stream of water moving at 3 m/s. Identify the stagnation point and describe its effect on pressure distribution.

💡 Hint: Refer to Bernoulli’s principle for further understanding of pressure changes.

Question 2

In a flow field, find the stagnation point using the velocity field defined as V(x, y) = (2xy, x² - y²). Calculate the point of zero velocity.

💡 Hint: What values would make the velocity components turn to zero?
