Question 1.
What does the stream function help us visualize in fluid flow?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what helps illustrate paths in fluid movement.
Question 2.
True or False: Streamlines are the paths of fluid particles flowing through a medium.
Show hintHide hint
Recall the definition of streamlines.
3Question 3.
What is the main advantage of using the stream function?
- It increases the number of variables
- It visualizes fluid movement
- It reduces the number of dependent variables
Show hintHide hint
Recall how it impacts the continuity equation.
4Question 4.
Is it True or False that the stream function assists in identifying the trajectory of fluid particles?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about what streamlines represent.
Question 5.
Given two parallel streamlines defined by φ(x,y) = 2x + y and φ(x,y) = 10, find the mass flow rate between these two streamlines if the density is uniform at 1 kg/m³.
Show hintHide hint
Use the given density and the difference in stream function values.
Question 6.
In a fluid flow scenario, the continuity equation must hold. Discuss how using the stream function assists in fulfilling this requirement.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on the simplification it provides for fluid flow equations.
