Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have two fluids: water (low viscosity) and honey (high viscosity) flowing over the same surface. Describe how their behavior would differ under the same shear force.
💡 Hint: Think about how each fluid feels and moves.
Using the material derivative, explain how the velocity of an element in a fluid changes when the fluid has both convection and shear acting on it.
💡 Hint: Consider the interaction between the fluid's motion and the changes occurring in its environment.
