Question 1.
What is wall shear stress?
Show hintHide hint
Think about forces acting parallel to the surface.
Question 2.
Define vorticity.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how fluid particles move in circular paths.
3Question 3.
What does wall stress refer to?
- The force on the wall per unit area
- The pressure exerted on the fluid
- The gravity acting downwards
Show hintHide hint
Recall the definition of stress in fluid mechanics.
4Question 4.
True or False: Vorticity is only significant in laminar flow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the nature of flow and rotation.
Question 5.
Calculate the average velocity in a flow with a known velocity field defined as u = 5 - y², across the area A = [-h, h]
Show hintHide hint
Remember to factor in the limits of integration.
Question 6.
Using the given velocity field u = 3 - x², derive appropriate vorticity components at a point in the flow region.
Show hintHide hint
Identify which velocity component to differentiate based on the field's behavior.
