Question 1

What is the primary assumption of linear wave theory?

  • Waves are always nonlinear
  • Waves behave linearly under ideal conditions
  • Waves only occur in turbulent flows

💡 Hint: Think about when we can simplify complex systems.

Question 2

True or False: Kinematic boundary conditions allow fluid to cross an impermeable boundary.

  • True
  • False

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the wave potential given the following conditions in a fluid channel: width = 3m, velocity = 2m/s, and apply appropriate boundary conditions.

💡 Hint: Start with understanding velocity potential derivations and apply continuity.

Question 2

Formulate a boundary value problem for a wave moving in a tank where one end is open and the other is closed. What initial conditions should you specify?

💡 Hint: Refer to how you define regions and apply flow constraints.
