3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define the Navier-Stokes equations and their importance.
What kind of fluids do these equations describe?
What is meant by irrotational flow?
Think about the flow patterns in an ideal fluid.
What does the Navier-Stokes equation describe?
Consider the type of behavior that fluids exhibit.
Is irrotational flow used only in ideal fluid scenarios?
Think about how friction influences flow.
You have a cylindrical tank with water. Derive the velocity profiles and pressure distributions present when fluid is allowed to flow from a height under gravity.
Consider gravity while integrating Bernoulli's equation.
In a pipe flow scenario, derive velocity distributions and shear stresses as fluid passes through a varying cross-section.
Think about how conservation of mass applies here.
