Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A river exhibits both rotational and irrotational flows. How would you set boundary conditions for analyzing the irrotational section?
💡 Hint: Utilize the principles of fluid mechanics and the specific velocity at riverbanks.
Consider a fluid with varying density flowing through a pipe. Discuss how this affects the applicability of boundary value problems compared to incompressible flow.
💡 Hint: Think about how density fluctuations alter flow dynamics.
