Question: The stream function for an incompressible flow field is given by the equation [ psi=3 x^{2} y-y^{3} ] where the stream function has the units
The stream function for an incompressible flow field is given by the equation
\[ \psi=3 x^{2} y-y^{3} \]
where the stream function has the units of \(\mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\) with \(x\) and \(y\) in meters.
(a) Sketch the streamline(s) passing through the origin.
(b) Determine the rate of flow across the straight path \(A B\) shown in Fig. P6.20.
