Question 1.
What is wall shear stress?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how fluid interacts with surfaces.
Question 2.
What is vorticity?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how fluid rotates or spins in flow.
3Question 3.

Show hintHide hint
Think about how the fluid behaves in rotation.
Question 5.
In a channel flow with a given pressure gradient, derive the equation for wall shear stress at the walls and explain each step.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on balancing forces and pressure effects to derive the formula.
Question 6.
Describe the transition of boundary layers from laminar to turbulent flow and identify conditions that lead to this change.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how varying Reynolds numbers affect flow characteristics in realistic scenarios.
