The \(x\) component of velocity in a steady, incompressible flow field in the \(x y\) plane is \(u=A / x\), where \(A=2 \mathrm{~m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\), and \(x\) is measured in meters. Find the simplest \(y\) component of velocity for this flow field.
The \(y\) component of velocity in a steady incompressible flow field in the \(x y\) plane is\[v=\frac{2 x y}{\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)^{2}}\]Show that the simplest expression for the \(x\) component of velocity is\[u=\frac{1}{\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)}-\frac{2 y^{2}}{\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)^{2}}\]
The velocity components for an incompressible steady flow field are \(u=a\left(x^{2}+z^{2}\right)\) and \(v=b(x y+y z)\). Determine the general expression for the \(z\) component of velocity. If the flow were unsteady, what would be the expression for the \(z\) component?
The radial component of velocity in an incompressible two-dimensional flow is given by \(V_{r}=3 r-2 r^{2} \cos (\theta)\). Determine the general expression for the \(\theta\) component of velocity. If the flow were unsteady, what would be the expression for the \(\theta\) component?
