2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does a fixed bottom boundary in fluid dynamics imply for fluid flow?
Think about how a riverbed prevents water from going beneath.
Define dynamic free surface.
Consider how ocean waves rise and fall.
What is the primary condition assumed when linearizing Bernoulli's equation?
Think about how small waves behave compared to larger waves.
True or False: A dynamic free surface can sustain pressure changes without distortion.
Consider characteristics of still water versus waves.
In a river with a known bottom slope, derive the velocity profile under the assumption of a small amplitude wave. Explain each step of your derivation.
Start with fundamental equations and relate changes through derivatives.
Construct a computational model factoring linearized Bernoulli’s equation for wave movement in a channel with varying depth and slope. Discuss expected outcomes and behaviors.
Consider using software or simulations to illustrate changing conditions.
