Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid with a density of 1000 kg/m³ flows with a turbulent velocity gradient of 0.05 s⁻¹. Determine the turbulent shear stress using a known eddy viscosity of 0.0005 m²/s.

💡 Hint: Remember to apply density and velocity gradient in the right formula.

Question 2

Explain how Prandtl's mixing length theory aids effectiveness in predicting shear stress in a turbulent flow scenario like a river with varying depths.

💡 Hint: Analyze how mixing length changes with depth.
