Difficuilt and/or interesting problems in fluid mechanics

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around seeking challenging and interesting problems in fluid mechanics, specifically focusing on topics such as hydrostatics, buoyancy forces, and Bernoulli's equation. Participants express a desire for problems that are more complex than those previously encountered.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants inquire about sources for more difficult problems, suggesting the exploration of past university exams or specific textbooks. There is also a mention of the Navier-Stokes equations as a potential area of interest, although some participants clarify the need for problems that are manageable in length.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing suggestions for resources and problem types. There is no explicit consensus on specific problems, but various avenues for exploration are being discussed.

Contextual Notes

Participants are looking for problems that are not only challenging but also have solutions that are concise, indicating a preference for problems that can be tackled within a reasonable scope rather than extensive research topics.

Homework Statement



Can anyone please give me hard and interesting problems regarding fluid mechanics problems such as hydrostatic and air prssure bouyance force and Bernoullis equation(Bernoullis equation problems only for liquids)? I tried looking for them but the ones I found were quite easy. I would prefer if you gave me many problems. Please add a solution. Thank you.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Can you post a few links to some of the places you've found so far? Have you been able to look through past exams at some university classes? I would think you might be able to find something like that with the right Google search terms maybe... :smile:

Why not investigate analytic solutions to the general Navier-Stokes equation? There's a million dollar prize for the first person to find a solution.

I know you probably are humourous here but I guess he seeks for (hard) problems that have solutions a few pages (maybe up to 5 pages) long at most, not for a subject/theme for a PhD thesis that is possible up to 100pages or more.
