Question 1.
Define Incompressible Flow.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how fluid density changes during flow.
Question 2.
What is a velocity potential function?
Show hintHide hint
It relates to how we express velocity in simpler terms.
3Question 3.
What is the primary characteristic of incompressible flow?
- Constant Density
- Variable Density
- Low Viscosity
Show hintHide hint
Remember the definition of incompressible flow.
4Question 4.
True or False: Velocity potential functions can be applied to rotational flow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the definition of irrotational flow.
Question 5.
Consider two infinite parallel plates with one moving at a constant speed. Without using detailed equations, qualitatively describe how the velocity gradient changes as you move away from the moving plate towards the fixed plate.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how fluid layers interact at a boundary.
Question 6.
Assume a viscous fluid flowing between two plates is subject to a pressure gradient. How would the velocity profile differ in this case compared to a purely moving plate scenario? Explain the reasoning behind your answer.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on how pressure influences fluid dynamics.
