Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If you are given five variables: time period, wavelength, flow depth, fluid density, and gravity, determine how to select appropriate repeating variables to form dimensionless groups.

💡 Hint: Make sure the variables chosen are independent of each other.

Question 2

Construct a problem involving two fluids flowing in pipes with different diameters and velocities. Using dimensional analysis, suggest which parameters should be chosen to predict pressure drops.

💡 Hint: Remember to keep in mind the relationships among chosen parameters.
