4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the stress tensor represent?
Think about how fluids exert forces internally.
Define a Newtonian fluid.
Remember the relationship between stress and strain rate.
What does the stress tensor describe in fluid mechanics?
Think about what forces are internal to a fluid system.
True or False: Non-Newtonian fluids maintain a constant viscosity.
Consider how these fluids respond differently to applied stress.
Discuss how the properties of the stress tensor differ in extreme conditions, such as in high-speed flows. What complications could arise in these scenarios?
Consider how physical laws change when conditions are extreme.
Analyze a practical scenario involving the flow of blood (a non-Newtonian fluid). How does its behavior challenge traditional fluid dynamics modeling?
Think about how blood flow differs compared to water.
