Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Provide a detailed analysis of a flat plate experiencing a high Reynolds number in turbulent flow, including how to adjust calculations for shear stress and drag. Include the derived local drag coefficient derived from these analyses.
💡 Hint: Make use of the empirical correlations from the course material.
A new fluid dynamics problem involves flow over a non-smooth surface. Discuss how this would affect the calculations of the boundary layer thickness and shear stress. Derive a general form you could use with consistent observations.
💡 Hint: Refer to the coefficients related to surface roughness you discussed in class.
