Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A plate experiences a flow with a velocity of 1 m/s. Given the viscosity of the fluid is 0.001 Ns/m² and length of the plate is 10 m, determine the Reynolds number and if flow is laminar or turbulent.
💡 Hint: Use the properties of fluid and plate dimensions to find density and compute effectively.
Analyze the situation where the flow velocity increases causing boundary layer separation sooner than expected. How would this affect the drag force, and what methods can be employed to prevent it?
💡 Hint: Tie in fluid dynamics principles regarding pressures and optimal design shapes.
