Question 1.
Define stream function and its significance in fluid dynamics.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how it reduces complexity in fluid analyses.
Question 2.
What is the role of mass conservation in fluid dynamics?
Show hintHide hint
Recall that this is a fundamental principle.
3Question 3.
What does a stream function represent?
- Fluid velocity
- Flow direction
- Fluid pressure
Show hintHide hint
Think about the role of streamlines.
4Question 4.
True or False: Mass conservation states that mass can be created in a closed system.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the fundamental principles here.
Question 5.
Consider a fluid flowing around a cylindrical object. Apply the concept of stream functions to analyze the flow behavior and derive the velocity components.
Show hintHide hint
Use the relationships established in class about stream functions.
Question 6.
A rectangular area experiences airflow that shows varying velocities across different streamlines. How would you apply the mass conservation equations to calculate flow through specific boundaries?
Show hintHide hint
Connect these calculations back to the fundamental continuity equations discussed.
