Question 1.
What do the Navier-Stokes equations describe?
Show hintHide hint
Think about fluid dynamics and forces.
Question 2.
What is a boundary layer?
Show hintHide hint
Consider where viscosity impacts flow.
3Question 3.
What do the Navier-Stokes equations describe?
- The motion of solid bodies
- The motion of fluid substances
- The motion of gases only
- None of the above
Show hintHide hint
It's opposite to solid body mechanics.
4Question 4.
True or False: Velocity potential functions are used in rotational flow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the definition of irrotational flow.
Question 5.
Calculate the velocity profile for flow between two parallel plates with one moving and one at rest. Use the Navier-Stokes equations and apply relevant approximations.
Show hintHide hint
Assume no gravity, steady flow, and apply boundary conditions at both plates.
Question 6.
Discuss the impact of a boundary layer on aerodynamic drag for an aircraft. Include concepts of shear stress and potential flow.
Show hintHide hint
link boundary layer behavior to coefficients of drag.
