What is the continuum hypothesis?
Think of how we view the flow of water in a river.
Define stress tensor.
Consider forces acting within a fluid element.
What does the continuum hypothesis assume about fluids?
Consider how we analyze fluid flow in reality.
True or False: Stress tensors can be used to quantify internal resistance forces in fluids.
Think about how these tensors help in fluid analysis.
Consider a small control volume in a flowing fluid. How would you approach deriving Cauchy's equation, and what assumptions will you base this on?
Relate each step back to the assumptions discussed.
Discuss how transitions from laminar to turbulent flows challenge the assumptions made in fluid mechanics.
Think about how fluid properties change with different flow regimes.
