Question:

The flow of air near the Earth's surface is affected both by the wind and thermal currents. In certain circumstances the velocity field can be represented by \(\vec{V}=a \hat{i}+b\left(1-\frac{y}{h}\right) \hat{j}\) for \(yh\). Plot the streamlines for the flow for \(b / a=0.01,0.1\), and 1 .
