Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid exhibits velocity components given by \( u = 3x^2 + y \), \( v = 4xz + z^2 \), and \( w = -2y + 5 \). Calculate all components of the strain tensor.

💡 Hint: Look carefully at the derivatives to extract each component.

Question 2

Consider a fluid at rest that experiences uniform expansion. Define the dilatation in terms of volume increase and relate it to the strain rates you learned.

💡 Hint: Remember how volume relates to length in three dimensions.
