Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A river has a uniform flow of 2 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the river when it encounters a sudden obstruction like a rock formation. Discuss how this might create non-uniform flow conditions.
💡 Hint: Consider how water reacts when it meets an obstacle.
Discuss how viscosity affects flow rates in industrial applications when considering uniform vs. non-uniform flows. Provide an example.
💡 Hint: Think about differences in liquid types and how they behave in various structures.
