Question 1

What is the no-slip boundary condition?

  • The fluid velocity at a boundary is zero.
  • Fluid velocity increases steadily at the boundary.
  • Fluid velocity is constant across all areas.

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to fluid at a solid boundary.

Question 2

True or False: Shear stress is always constant in the boundary layer.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how shear stress relates to fluid dynamics.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a fluid with a viscosity of 0.002 Pa.s experiences a velocity gradient of 200 s^-1 at a boundary, calculate the shear stress at that boundary.

💡 Hint: Apply the shear stress formula.

Question 2

Discuss the impact of a thicker boundary layer on fluid flow and sediment transport in rivers.

💡 Hint: Consider how reduced shear stress affects movement.
