Question 5.
Calculate the circulation around an object in rotational flow and relate it to the vorticity and fluid properties.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the relationship between velocity distribution and the shape of the object.
Question 6.
Discuss the effects of non-uniform temperature within a fluid on the boundary layer formation.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how heating a fluid alters its behavior near surfaces.
