1. Explain the following types and conditions of flow.

Specify the parameters,

representative equations to describe them:

• Laminar and turbulent flow

• Steady and unsteady flow
• Uniform and non-uniform flow
• Subcritical and Supercritical

2. Under which assumptions is Hagen-Poisseuille theory applicable?

Sketch the velocity and share stress distribution in a pipe.

3. Draw and explain what will happen to the flow when it encounters a flat plate,
name the different zones. Draw the velocity profile in first and last zone. Draw
what will happen to shear stress.

4. For a cylinder immersed in a real flow with low viscosity. Draw and explain the
development of boundary layer around this cylinder in a real fluid.

5. Draw the pressure distribution along the surface of the cylinder in real flow
using distribution of Cp around the cylinder.

6. Demonstrate the variation of Cw flow resistance factor or form factor of a

cylinder with respect to Reynolds number and draw the corresponding
diagram.

7. Draw the hydraulic and energy grade lines for the following system.

 8. Determine the average flow resistance λR, the flow velocity and the discharge
in the river channel of a compound profile that is described in the figure.
Assume that the profile is symmetric.

• From measurements the resistance of the imaginary walls are known to be λT,L=λT,R=0.008.
• The height of the imaginary walls is hT=0.6 m.
• Consider an energy slope of IE=0.00058.
• The size of the river channel cross section is AR=20.0 m2.

The equivalent sand roughness of the river bed in its sections can be taken from the table
below.
ks,1 = ks,2 = 0.22m lu,1 = lu,3 = 2.4 m
ks,2 = 0.3 m lu,2 = 8.0 m

Run your calculation with an expedience initial guess one. Afterwards improve your values in only
one additional min. Give an error estimate at the end.
