Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a variable seabed depth function, h(x), describe how you would determine flow velocities u and w at various depths.
💡 Hint: Consider how height variations affect flow velocity.
If waves create distortions on the free surface, how would you apply both dynamic and kinematic conditions to predict stability in structural designs?
💡 Hint: Think back to how we discussed pressure at dynamic surfaces.
