Question 1

What does the term 'ideal fluid' refer to?

  • A fluid with viscosity
  • A fluid with no viscosity
  • A real-world fluid

💡 Hint: Consider what is meant by frictionless flows.

Question 2

True or False: Surface tension is negligible in all fluid dynamic scenarios.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about different contexts for small versus large waves.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a case where water waves are propagating on a lake surface. If we assume irrotational flow, how would energy dissipation differ in real versus ideal fluids?

💡 Hint: Think about where energy goes in real flows and compare with ideal assumptions.

Question 2

You’ve modeled a situation neglecting surface tension in a fluid. What scenarios could this lead to erroneous predictions, and how could you address this issue?

💡 Hint: Focus on environments where surface tension could be critically influencing.
