Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a turbulent flow, calculate the shear stress using given values of eddy viscosity, flow density, and velocity gradient.

💡 Hint: Refer back to the definitions provided on shear stress and how to apply them.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where a fluid flow changes from laminar to turbulent. Discuss how this affects the eddy viscosity and shear stress implications in design.

💡 Hint: Think about the structural requirements for different flow regimes.
