What does a stream function represent in fluid dynamics?
Think about simplifying equations.
Define body forces and provide an example.
Consider how forces act on a fluid's entire mass.
What is the purpose of a stream function?
Think about the benefits of using mathematical tools in fluid dynamics.
True or False: Surface forces only apply to the entire mass of fluid.
Consider how different forces can interact with fluid.
Given a fluid with a uniform density in a vertical tube, describe how both body and surface forces interact under gravitational force, using stress tensors.
Sketch the fluid and identify forces acting on both fluid and boundary.
Derive and explain the relationship between the stream function and mass flow rate across two streamlines in terms of fluid density.
Consider how stream functions represent conservation principles visually.
